COMING SOON TO BBC...

Farming can be one of the most dangerous professions in the UK. Farm 999 will follow the Police, Fire and Ambulance services as they attend emergency situations in rural communities. The 15-part series will bring audiences into the heart of these emergency settings with accounts from first responders, community members and the farmers at the centre of these emergencies. 

For the Police Service, half a million rural crimes are reported across the UK each year, and increasingly creative approaches are being taken to tackle them. Fire Service teams, meanwhile, respond to incidents that cost famers up to £100million a year. For the Ambulance Service, farming remains one of the most dangerous professions in the UK, with air and ground paramedics responding to life-threatening accidents every single day. 

In Farm 999 cameras will follow the emergency personnel in the air and on the ground, combined with eyewitness accounts and footage captured by the farming communities themselves.  

Over the series, these stories will give audiences an insight into the challenges and hazards faced by our rural communities, delivered from a presenter-led, Northern Ireland hub.
