In the first episode of "Ice Road Rescue" season 1, titled "Feast or Famine," viewers are introduced to a team of expert truckers who specialize in rescuing vehicles stranded on some of the world's most treacherous roads during the harsh winter season. The show is set in Norway, where a series of dangerous mountain passes cut through some of the most remote and challenging terrain in the world.

The episode begins with the team of ice road rescue drivers preparing for the coming winter season. They know that with the heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures, the roads will become increasingly treacherous and that there will be countless drivers who require their help. The team of drivers includes veteran rescuer Thord Paulsen, who has been working on these roads for over 30 years, and his protégé Bjørnar Håkonsen, who is in his second season as an ice road rescue driver. The team also includes an experienced mechanic named Vebjørn Sundquist, who plays a vital role in each rescue mission.

As the drivers prepare their equipment, they receive a call about a stranded truck on a nearby road. They quickly mobilize and make their way to the location, battling icy roads and steep mountain passes along the way. When they arrive, they find a truck driver who has been stranded on the side of the road for over 24 hours. The driver, whose engine has failed, is carrying a load of fresh fish that is rapidly approaching its expiration date. The team knows that they will have to work quickly to get the driver and his cargo to safety before the fish spoils.

The team of drivers jump into action, working together to clear the snow and ice from the road so that they can tow the stranded truck. Despite the treacherous conditions, they are able to successfully rescue the driver and his load of fish. As they make their way back to town, the drivers must use all of their skills to navigate the dangerous roads. They know that one wrong move could cause the truck and its load to slide off the icy road and into the frozen river below.

After successfully rescuing the stranded driver, the team receives another call about a truck that has become stuck on an icy road in a remote part of the mountains. This time, the truck is carrying a load of expensive cheese, and the driver is becoming increasingly desperate as the cheese quickly begins to spoil in the frigid temperatures. Again, the team rallies together to rescue the stranded driver and his cargo, navigating narrow and winding mountain roads to reach the stuck truck.

As the team returns to the rescue headquarters, they reflect on the challenges of working on these dangerous roads. They know that not every rescue mission will be successful, and that the harsh winter conditions will push them to their limits. However, they also know that they are providing an invaluable service to the many drivers who rely on these roads to transport goods and supplies to remote communities.

In the end, "Ice Road Rescue" season 1 episode 1 delivers a thrilling and action-packed introduction to the work of these expert truckers. The team's dedication and skill in rescuing stranded drivers in some of the most challenging conditions imaginable is both inspiring and heartwarming. Viewers are sure to be on the edge of their seats as the drivers battle the elements to complete their life-saving missions.
