The fictitious 55th Precinct and the area covered by the 55th Squad do not have realistic boundaries. Both houses are obviously located in in Queens, which is clearly apparent when they launch potatoes from the roof of the firehouse. The characters are constantly in Manhattan and in Brooklyn, with response scenes filmed on the 59th Street Bridge and Long Island City, Queens. edit »

Music: Hooverphonic did "Mad About You"; Elizabeth Fraser did "This Love". edit »

Taylor: "Be brave and the world will respect you." That�s what my dad used to drill into us. As if we had the slightest idea what the word brave even meant. Like it was supposed to come natural to us. As kids of a legendary fire captain it should be in our blood, right? Who the hell knows? It�s probably why I went after this job in the first place. Just to show him. Show him I could be brave. Earn some of that respect he always talked about. Figured if I did this job long enough and well enough I might someday qualify as brave in his book. Not that I�ll ever know that now�" edit »
