THIS WEEK ON 'BOSTON EMS' HUSBAND AND WIFE EMT TEAM STRUGGLE TO PULL A MAN FROM A FRIGID RIVER

'Boston EMS' Continues Saturday, August 6, on ABC

Returning for a second season, "Boston EMS" gives viewers the chance ride along with the proud men and women of Boston Emergency Medical Services, one of America's most seasoned team of first responders: the first step in the chain of trauma care. It was this same group that responded to the critically injured Boston Marathon spectators three years ago when the bombs went off. Treating the injured, triaging and transporting the wounded to hospitals, Boston EMS earned the gratitude of a shell-shocked and grief-stricken city with their level-headed professionalism. In "Boston EMS" viewers will meet some of the heroes of that terrible day, as they answer calls and respond to a daily dose of trauma and mayhem. "Boston EMS" continues SATURDAY, AUGUST 6 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on the ABC Television Network.

In episode 2, follow married couple Rob and Kim Stearns, as they struggle to pull a drowning man from a frigid river. Both EMTs, not only do they share a home, but they also share an ambulance.

Also in this episode, colleagues Zackary Randall and Terry Mentele face a different challenge - calming a hysterical 6-year-old who fell out of bed and fractured his arm. And everybody's favorite boss, Lt. John Cotter, responds to a building set ablaze after a resident forgets to extinguish a scented candle.

Terence Wrong is the executive producer of "Boston EMS," and Erica Baumgart is the senior producer. Andy Genovese, Aysu Grodowski, Monica DelaRosa and Sarah Namias are series producers. Emily Wynn and Carly Stipek are field producers. "Boston EMS" is produced by ABC's Lincoln Square Productions for ABC News.
