Film crews will ride along with different sheriff's deputies each episode. Many already have stepped forward to volunteer, Martinez said.

"I'm pretty excited," Martinez said. "This will show the citizens of Lake County the fine job these men and women have done every day, and it will be showcased nationally on the Fox network."

There will be a slight delay from the live feed so the footage can be approved, such as by ensuring no undercover narcotics detectives appear on screen and get their cover blown.

"It's like another 'Cops' but of course it happens live," Martinez said.

Wolf also produces "Law & Order," "Chicago Fire," "Chicago Med" and "Chicago P.D." on NBC, among other shows.

“I have always been fascinated by the brave work of first responders, who face life-and-death decisions on a daily basis,” Wolf said in a press release for Fox. “'First Responders Live' will give viewers a front-row seat to paramedic, fire and police calls, and they will see the challenges of every type of emergency. It is truly the real-life version of 'Chicago Fire,' 'Chicago P.D.' and 'Chicago Med.'”

The new show is set to debut on June 12.
