‘First In’: Acceptance
Published by JamesP26 on Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 3:55 pm.
When you talk about Cali, one thing that always comes up is the gang activity. The media have captured gang life in different ways, from “Grand Theft Auto” and Death Row Records to John Singleton movies. Being in Compton, the “First In” crew sees its fair share of gang activity and what it could lead to.
Marcel lost his stepbrother to gang violence. I agree when he says that young people look for acceptance, which leads them to join gangs. It was good to see him reach out to teens and get them to the fire station. Sure, not all of them will become firefighters, but it may show some of them that there’s more out there than gangs.
Speaking of acceptance, since the beginning of the show I was wondering where women stand with the fire department. Do they work there? Can they work there? Are they accepted? We finally got one answer with intern Crystal Cooper. The guys welcomed her by dumping a pail of cold ice water on her. Crystal felt accepted. I think the guys were sincere and showed that when it comes to the job, Crystal is “one of the guys,” but I have a feeling not everyone will feel the same way.
I have to mention Salazar. Even with a meeting about his behavior, I don’t think he’ll ever learn. And I think Marcus would agree. That’s all on that.
This show is bangin!!!!
LOVE THE SHOW!!!! One question though. Why does Marcel drive Utility 451 and not Battalion 404?
THIS SHOW IS GREAT BECAUSE IT IS REAL LIFE. Tough work – We love you Firefigthters ! thanks for everything you do…

Did the show change times….Its wed @ 10pm and Some steve harvey comedy special is on….this is an awesome show and I hope it continues on.
Why did BET air the show tonight two hours early without any notice at all? I’m the Supervising Producer of the show and I didn’t even know this was going to happen. Very disappointed. I missed my own show tonight.
I love First In – keep em rollin…….I’m glad the show aired early, but like you Chandrea, I wish they would have let us know. I always try to catch the commercials of First In and that’s what I was doing last night when I found the show on at 8:00. I LOVE FIRST IN – and especially Shon Halvorson (Halvo)
THANKS FOR FIRST IN ********
