A series featuring a selection of BBCtv programmes viewers have particularly asked to see again.
Fighting fires in New York is described by the National Safety Council as 'the most dangerous job in America.'
Man Alive went with the men of Engine Company 82 and Ladder Company 31 as they fought fires in New York's South Bronx.
In this urban jungle fires are started by children for the fun of seeing the fire engines arrive. Malicious false alarms call out the fire engines often 50 times a day. Traps are set for the fire-fighters in derelict buildings. Bricks and stones are hurled at them as they go about their jobs.
One of the fire-fighters, Dennis Smith, has written a best-seller, Report from Engine Company 82. He tells Jeremy James why it is that he and his colleagues want nothing else in the world but the chance to fight fires.
An apocalyptic vision of New York in which the fire engines were the only bright and functioning things in a world of junk. (The Observer)
