Connecticut Fire Fighter Searches for Top Firehouse Chef

June 5, 2009 – Greenwich, CT Local 1042 member Guy Fortt, like many fire fighters, loves cooking and good food. He has decided to combine his love for the job and cooking to create a firehouse cooking television series and nationwide cook-off, a project he’s calling “Rescue Meal.”

The Rescue Meal series will feature at least 12 firehouses (one per episode) across the United States. The featured firehouse will showcase its chef(s) while also discussing what it’s like to be on the job.

At the end of the series, Fortt plans to hold a televised firehouse cooking competition, pitting chefs from the featured firehouses.

When he is not on duty, Fortt is a producer for TeleverseMedia and is an experienced actor. “I am confident that I have the connections and experience to make this project a reality,” he says.

Fortt is currently gathering sponsors and shopping his idea to television networks. Meanwhile, he is also looking for interested firehouses. For more information, contact Fortt at (203) 653-1625.
