''Third Watch'' was a series about the [[NewYorkCityCops police officers]], firefighters and paramedics of New York's EmergencyServices, who worked the 3-11pm shift (the "third watch"). Focusing on the fictional 55th Precinct, the police station and fire house were just across the street from each other at "Camelot", on the corner of King and Arthur. The series dealt with both the personal and professional lives of the squads, and their relationships with each other.
