Rescue Me is an American comedy-drama television series that premiered on the FX Network on July 21, 2004 and concluded on September 7, 2011. The series focuses on the professional and personal lives of a group of New York City firefighters working in a fictitious Harlem firehouse (Engine 99/Ladder 62/ Battalion 15/Battalion 30/Battalion 75), post 9/11.
The protagonist and focal point of the series is veteran New York City Firefighter Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary). The series follows Tommy's troubled family and co-workers as they deal with real life issues, either with post 9/11 trauma or their own domestic problems. Tommy struggles with the loss of his cousin and best friend Jimmy Keefe, as well as fifty-nine other firefighters whom he knew, who died in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Jimmy frequently visits Tommy in ghostly visions. In the pilot episode, Tommy and his wife Janet (Andrea Roth) have already separated, although they are technically still married, and Tommy has moved across the street. Tommy is an ill-tempered, self-destructive, hypocritical, manipulative, relapsed alcoholic who suffers with survivor guilt and posttraumatic stress disorder as a result of 9/11. Although he has a poor grasp on his personal life, most of his actions as a firefighter are well intentioned, but despite his devotion and care for others (and for the job), he is viewed by various family members and his fellow firefighters as self-centered.
In the New York City Fire Department, the companies Engine 99 and Ladder 62 (a.k.a. 62 Truck) do not exist in reality, as city fire companies with those numbers were never organized in the department's history. In the FDNY, Engine Companies go from 1-97, then from 151-168, then from 201-332. FDNY Ladder Companies go from 1-61, then from 76-87, then from 101-176. However, in the first several seasons, Battalion 15 was the chief that operated out of the firehouse in the series. Battalion 15 does exist in reality, and is based in the northern Bronx. Battalion 30, the chief that operated out of the firehouse in the latter half of the series, did at one time exist in Brooklyn, but was disbanded in the early 1900s. Battalion 75, or Chief Feinberg's Battalion, also exists in the FDNY, but is not an active Battalion. Instead, it is used as a reserve or special events chief's unit. None of the other companies or battalions portrayed in the series either never existed or no longer exist in the FDNY.
