Hopefully they do a good job with it rather than just turn it into a soap opera type of show.

No, it isn't a soap opera at all. The firefighter and his pregnant wife (the only romantic bit in the series) are actually real historical characters, at least according to the Wikipedia.
It's a miniseries, there are only 5 episodes. So it's not going to drag endlessly on either.
