In Season 9, the production team returns to Duisburg, North Rhine‑Westphalia, to document the emergency services at Fire and Rescue Station 3 in Hamborn. Over a period of 70 days during summer 2024, the crew filmed around the clock, following firefighters on all types of operations. The season highlights a broad spectrum of emergency forces, including firefighting units, rescue service crews, and for the first time the Christoph 9 air rescue helicopter. Cameras accompany the teams during dramatic fires in apartments, stairwells, garages, and industrial sites, as well as serious traffic accidents and medical emergencies that require both ground and air rescue.

Fire in Stairwell – Multiple Emergencies
The Duisburg firefighters from Fire & Rescue Station 3 (Hamborn) respond to flames spreading through the stairwell of a multi‑family building, forcing residents to flee in panic. Quickly containing the fire and rescuing occupants is critical. Meanwhile, the Christoph 9 air rescue helicopter is deployed to a serious motorway collision with a critically injured young man. In an unusual non‑fire incident, crews help a man who has trapped his finger in a mailbox.

Air Rescue After Major Motorway Crash
The Christoph 9 crew flies to a major motorway accident where a transporter has crashed under a truck, and a severely injured, trapped driver must be freed in a race against time. Back on ground, the Duisburg team also responds to a school fire alarm that turns into a smoky situation on arrival.
