Hey everyone,

I’m Ben, the head of production behind the US COPS and US FIRE documentary series on the FIRST RESPONDERS YouTube channel. To bring you real, unfiltered insights into the work of America’s emergency services, we travel across the country, filming at various police and fire departments. Our production crew hits the road with a pickup truck and a modified travel trailer to capture these incredible stories.

The problem? Our current truck is 19 years old and has broken down six times on just one trip. Even after $8,000 in repairs, it’s still unreliable. If we can’t get where we need to go, we can’t keep making the content you love.

What makes this even more challenging is that our production team lives in the modified travel trailer for months at a time while we’re on the road. That means we don’t just need a vehicle to get from A to B—we need something we can rely on every single day to tow our home and equipment safely across the country.

That’s why we’re reaching out to you—our amazing community. We need your help to get a dependable vehicle so we can keep filming and sharing these powerful stories. Instead of buying another used truck that could put us right back in the same situation, we want to invest in a new vehicle with a warranty. This way, we can be sure we’ll make it across the country safely—without worrying about constant breakdowns.

Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to making that happen. As a thank you, we’ll add the names of everyone who donates to the new vehicle—because we never want to forget who helped us through tough times. This journey isn’t just ours; it’s yours, too.

Let’s do this together! Donate now and help us keep the series rolling!

Thank you for your support!
