On Fire!
ON FIRE!, the new DVD from Jet Set Men, accomplishes the almost impossible task of creating a believably realistic background of firefighting, its training and day-to-day activities, as a setting for a gay sexual fantasy. Outside of sports, firefighting is the last profession that demands truly physically fit men. Co-directors Chris Steele and Chad Donovan depict the firefighters' real world and superimpose a gay male fantasy on top of it, one in which all the firemen are muscular studs, well-hung and “on fire” - eager to have hot sex with one another. As the film begins, we see guys from the Jet Set Township Fire Department - young men in training, working out on a hillside, rolling hoses, jogging down the road, getting both the encouragement and discipline of their superiors. The combination of young recruits and their more seasoned superiors create a realistic atmosphere. Footage from actual fire scenes are interspersed with the new to set the stage for the action to come.
