For New Zealand’s emergency services, every job is a race against time. 

First Responders is a documentary series following emergency service providers across Aotearoa New Zealand as they attend life threatening situations in the most challenging conditions and terrain. Series 2 follows paramedics, air-ambulances and Police as they carry out their critical, life-saving work.

Each episode is carefully crafted to show the drama, heroism and humanity behind rescue operations. The series is a compelling portrayal of the dedication, skill and high-stakes decision making of our first responders told from their perspective.
