Irving fire fighters debut reality TV show


NLC president judges competition

From staff reports


Reality television has come to Irving — and the competition is heating up. This fall, one firefighter from each fire station will put his culinary skills to the test for the chance to earn the prestigious title of Irving's Firehouse Cooks.

North Lake College President Dr. Herlinda Glasscock, appears in episode five as one of the judges.

The competition began on the city's local cable station, Irving Community Television Network, on Aug. 31, and the six-episode show will conclude on Thursday, Oct. 5.

“We thought about having a regular cooking show with the Irving Fire Department, but then the idea of making it something different, and playing into the popularity of reality TV was born,” said June Boniedot, producer/director of Firehouse Cooks. Raul Garcia is the director/editor.

Firehouse Cooks will give viewers a chance to meet a few of their firefighters, look into the daily lives and routines, and see their neighborhood fire stations in action. The finale will feature the finalists cooking at the Four Seasons Resort and Club in Irving.

Viewers can go to www.ictn.tv to pick their choice for best chef.
