The firefighters are called to a fire. Dark clouds of smoke come from a bar. Are there still people in the building? How great is the danger for the residents in the surrounding apartments? The Bochum fire brigade's emergency services were supported 50 days in a row and 24 hours a day in their grueling everyday work. Six gripping episodes full of tension and emotions were created. The “heroes next door” try to help professionally, humanely and together.
