Vollies is a Canadian television comedy series, which premiered in 2021 on Bell Fibe's TV1. [1] The series centres on the Essex-West-Essex Fire Department, a smalltown volunteer fire department with too much time on their hands because their town never has any actual fires to fight. [2]
The series stars Jonathan Torrens, Sarah McCarthy, Alicia McCarvell, Edwina Govindsamy, Mary Austin, Brian George and James Faulkner. [2] It was created by Torrens and McCarthy, and written by Torrens, McCarthy, Sylvia Beirnes and Mark Forward. [2] It was shot in and around the Truro, Nova Scotia, area in spring 2021. [2]
In October 2021, Vollies was renewed for a second season, which will begin filming in the spring of 2022.
