"Rescue Me" is Denis Leary's tip of the hat to the firefighters.  A sexy, poignant and funny drama that centers on the inner workings of Engine 62, a New York City firehouse.

The series centers on Denis Leary's character, Tommy Gavin, and his personal and emotional battles of his peers in a post-9/11 world where everyone, including Tommy, has their lives in some sort of turmoil as they cope with the stresses and fears of the job.

Tommy has more problems at home, and deals with the separation from his wife Janet. Tommy moves into a house across the street from her to stay close to their three children and keep an eye on her. Tommy is visited by his dead cousin Jimmy Keefe, a former firefighter, as well as the haunting memories of people he has watched perish on the job.

The other members of Ladder 62 include Chief Jerry Reilly who has a serious gambling problem. Eye candy Sean Garrity, Franco Rivera, a Puerto Rican ladies man, Lt. Kenny "Lou" Shea who secretly writes poetry and Mike Silletti, "the probie," who is tormented in his initiation at the station.

Not Engine 62. 62 Truck. There is a difference.
