Also, Monica will be on Lift Every Voice this Sunday at 10 A.M. She’ll be talking about one of her biggest tragedies, how she dealt with the suicide of her boyfriend at the age of 19.

What’s it like to have one of the toughest jobs ever in one of the toughest cities in the world? The five Compton firefighters of BET’s newest reality docu-drama, “First In” can tell you first hand … but why tell you when they can show you?

“First In” is a dramatic new show that takes you where only a few have gone — inside the firehouse and inside the lives of the men who may just save yours one day.

You may be thinking that firefighters just show up to buildings and pull out fire hoses, but it’s a lot more than that. This show gives you the real deal, from murder victims, to motorcycle accidents to small plane crashes, these firefighters see it all, while trying to deal with drama at home and reach their professional goals!

If you’ve ever wondered if you’ve got what it takes to be a firefighter, if you just like seeing men in uniform, or if you’re just looking for something original, put this show on your viewing schedule.

Don’t miss the premiere, Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 10 PM/9C. Get more on the show here!
