What’s It All About? Tyrese Gibson hosts this new series that delves into the lives of Compton’s firefighters and paramedics as they try to balance the high stress of a grueling 72-hour work schedule and family life. Though Compton, in the Los Angeles area, only has a population of about 100,000 people, there are a reported 75 active gangs operating in the area, making it a unique environment for the city’s emergency teams. With one of the highest crime rates in the country, gunshot wounds, gang-related violence and mangled cars are just another day for these trained professionals. The show follows these days through the eyes of an ambulance operator, multiple firefighters, an intern and one of the youngest battalion chiefs in the country — Marcel Melanson, of the Compton Fire Department.
