Live Rescue (stylized as Live + Rescue) is an American television program on the A&E Network. It follows live camera crew ride-alongs with fire departments and rescue squads in cities and towns across the country.^[2] The series is a spin-off of Live PD.

Production

In 2019, A&E began developing a spin-off of Live PD called Live Rescue focusing on emergency rescue calls as opposed to police calls.^[4] Ashleigh Banfield was the first host of the series.^[5] The series received an initial eight episode order and premiered on April 22, 2019.^[6] A bonus episode of the series aired on May 9 bringing the episode count up to nine episodes. A&E later ordered an additional ten episodes bringing the final episode count to nineteen.^[7]

Live Rescue also has its own spin-offs entitled Live Rescue: Rewind ^[8] and Live Rescue: Emergency Response.^[9] Live Rescue: Rewind highlights segments from formerly aired episodes of Live Rescue and airs in the same format of Live PD: Rewind.^[10] Live Rescue: Emergency Response is a half hour show which shows highlights from Live Rescue and interviews with the fire fighters and emergency medical technicians featured.

For the second season, Matt Iseman took over as host.^[11] Season 2 premiered on September 23, 2019.

In March 2020, the show was put on temporary hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The show moved to Friday and Saturday nights for the third season, which premiered on August 21, 2020.^[12]^[13] On October 23, 2020, the show changed from its two-hour format to three hours, and began broadcasting only on Fridays.^[14]
