Emergency!	comment	Emergency! was an American Medical Drama series which aired for six seasons (1972â€“77) on NBC.The first television show to depict the lives and work of paramedics, this was a very well-done and medically-accurate series, which inspired countless children to want to be in Squad 51, and supposedly many communities to get their own paramedics. An hour-long drama, it had elements of comedy, drama, angst, and many other things in its episodes, and although it had a shorter run, could be said to be a domestic civilian version of one of the best shows ever in the field, MAS*H. It was also responsible for popularizing nationwide the concept of paramedics. One technical advisor for the series went on to overhaul another EMS system two decades later.Emergency! was born when TV producer Robert A. Cinader came to Los Angeles to look into creating a standard Medical Drama. Once there, he learned of the paramedic program, which was just getting started, and realized it would be dynamite idea to create a show based around these brave special firefighters rushing about rescuing people. Executive producer Jack Webb of Dragnet fame added his trademark strict attention to accuracy, the Los Angeles County Fire Department threw in its complete support for the production, and the first and most famous live-action Rescue TV show was born.Even today, the show inspires many, many people to become Firefighter-EMTs and paramedics. It's a fair bet that any EMT/paramedic in the U.S. and Canada who started work between 1979 and 1995 was inspired by this show either in its first run or reruns. More broadly, the series is popularly credited in encouraging the widespread adoption of the emergency service across North America, which could be credited in eventually saving a untold number of people in distress with the service established in their area.Followed/accompanied — as was virtually standard practice in the 1970s — by a comic book series and an animated Saturday morning series, Emergency +4, in which the Emergency paramedics were saddled with the requisite four kids and dog. After the live-action show ended, six made-for-TV movies aired in the late '70s; Gage and DeSoto were the only regular characters to appear in all six films.Like many other older TV series, Emergency! has found a new life on "classic TV" cable channels and on digital-streaming services. As of spring 2023, it was running on cable channels Cozi-TV and FETV (Family Entertainment Television). It's also available for streaming from Netflix, Hulu, the Classic TV collection at the Internet Archive, and NBC's classic television webpage. The entire series has also been released on DVD in season anthologies (with the made-for-TV movies comprising a seventh collection "The Final Rescues"); the pilot movie is included in the Season 1 collection. Cozi-TV also produced and aired a 50th anniversary special featuring interviews with the lead actors and production crew.

Emergency! / int_1042bae6	comment	Limited Advancement Opportunities: Dealt with when Roy passes the engineer's exam. He can't take the promotion without giving up being a paramedic, and he decides he likes being a paramedic too much to give it up. In the "Best Rescues" movie, when they finally get promoted to captain, they mention having given the department years to change the rules about paramedics holding rank, implying that the reason they stayed one of the lowest ranks in the department the whole show really was for love of the work. There's a bit of possible contradiction with Captain Stone, who still had his certification in an earlier episode. It's possible that they could maintain certification, but just couldn't man a squad anymore.

Emergency! / int_12213488	comment	Random Smoking Scene: Dixie has a cigarette on her break in one early episodenote Looking back, this could be considered Harsher in Hindsight, as Julie London would eventually develop lung cancer among other ailments due to her longtime smoking habit. Additionally, her smoking and drinking had resulted in a loss of vocal control that led to her not recording any further albums after 1969. Back then, smoking in hospitals wasn't banned as it is today. Also counts as Early-Installment Weirdness, since we don't see any of the other main characters smoking anywhere. (we did sometimes catch a glimpse of a pack of smokes in Gage's shirt pocket, but that was because Mantooth forgot to take them out, not because of Gage being a smoker to our knowledge.)

Emergency! / int_1320d787	comment	Playing Sick: Both the paramedics and the doctors have to deal with examples of this. In one case, Johnny and Roy are called to help an old man with crippling back pain. After he's transported to Rampart, his symptoms confound the doctors because they don't add up to anything recognizable. Eventually the truth comes out: he's been faking it all just to have fun and to get a few days of pampering in the hospital. He's done this so many times that he knows just what to tell the doctors in order to keep them guessing a little while longer. Another run involves a house the paramedics have been to before: an aggrieved wife who repeatedly fakes collapsing in order to get back at her husband. Johnny wakes her up with a vial of smelling salts, then explains to the couple that these repeated calls for fake emergencies are a waste of the paramedics' time, and they really shouldn't be doing it. In a more serious example, a man says he was hit and seriously injured by the squad as they were racing to a call. A police detective starts investigating, and it looks bad for Johnny and Roy. However, the detective eventually finds out that the man is an ex-circus acrobat and faked his injuries — and he's done it at least three times before, each time getting significant amounts of money from insurance settlements.

Since 1970s, "Johnny and Roy never had to deal with this shit!" has become a common refrain among firefighters, firefighter-paramedics, and single-role medics when dealing with large amounts of blood and/or other bodily substances.

Emergency! / int_1392fbe7	type	Drunk Driver
Emergency! / int_1392fbe7	comment	Drunk Driver: Several episodes include the paramedics responding to car accidents caused by drunk drivers. In Season 1 these are played for humor, but in subsequent seasons it's treated much more seriously, following the sharp change in thinking about drunk driving that was happening around the same time in real life. Season 1's "Weird Wednesday" has a man so drunk that when he pulls his car out of his driveway, he ends up rolling it down a steep embankment into the trees. When Gage & DeSoto make it down to the crashed car, the man is so drunk that he only laughs at the incident, and both the paramedics break into laughter when they see how drunk the man is. Season 2's "Peace Pipe", though, has a drunk driver crash into a parked car, where a young mother left her daughter while she did grocery shopping. The drunk rants and complains about how the crash and his drinking aren't his fault — in earshot of the child's grieving parents — showing him to be a huge Jerkass, as the paramedics & doctors fight to save the child's life. This episode has several disgusted and angry lectures from the policeman and doctors about what the man has done and how dangerous drunk driving is.

Emergency! / int_1c9537cd	comment	The Main Characters Do Everything: Generally averted. While the focus is always on the main characters for obvious reasons, they're not superheroes and they don't try to be. It's not unusual for Station 51 to arrive at a call location, see that what they've got isn't enough for the job, and call for additional units. They also leave policing to the police. In one episode, Roy and Johnny rescue an injured motorcyclist from a brushfire, then discover that he was taking advantage of the brushfire to loot evacuated houses. They treat his injuries, take him back to the firefighter base camp, and turn him over to the sheriff's deputy there. It's also not unusual for the ER doctors to decide they need help with a case and call for a specialist - cardiologist, neurologist, orthopedist, etc. In other cases they get the patient stabilized and diagnosed, and then move him or her to a room in another ward — Intensive Care, Cardiac Care, etc. Even nurses occasionally get the spotlight. In one episode, a cardiac patient accidentally breaks off the tip of his catheter — a potentially life-threatening problem if the fragment gets lodged in a blood vessel and causes an embolism. The nurse in the room sees it happen and acts on her own to trap the fragment with a tourniquet and reduce the chance of an embolism, then calls for a doctor to remove the catheter tip.

Mentioned in "The Game" when Chet mentioned they would never forget his latest creation, and Johnny quips he hadn't forgotten the dish Chet made last year. Played with & ultimately subverted with Roy in the season 1 episode, "Cook's Tour". Throughout the episode, the guys rag on Roy for his non-existent cooking skills, as the last time Roy cooked for the station, no one could eat the result. In response, Roy keeps talking about the great new recipe he's going to make for them, though his teammates keep up the jokes, cheap-shots, & insults. When Roy's dish is finished, the fire fighters are called out to a trash fire, leaving Roy and Johnny at the station. Johnny tries the dish, and is surprised to find it's actually good, and Roy demands that Johnny sign an affidavit attesting to that. Before Johnny can do that, they are called out to an emergency, and return to find the kitchen table cleared off, the others playing chess, and Chet claims they "sent out for Mexican" instead of eating Roy's cooking...only for Roy to find that they not only ate Roy's dish, but completely devoured it, leaving no leftovers at all!

Later, said doctor tries to resuscitate a patient (a friend and fellow doctor) that collapses in said ideal hospital setting and dies after throwing in every effort to revive him. Brackett, who had earlier defended Roy's decision, explicitly points this out to him and Dixie chews him out for being way out of line, pointing out that the likes of Roy actually perform their jobs and save lives in hazardous conditions actual doctors almost never face. Itâ€™s also a bit of a double example as itâ€™s an ironic echo of sorts to Brackett himself opposing the program for those reasons in the premiere movie.

Emergency! / int_324385bb	type	We Have to Get the Bullet Out!
Emergency! / int_324385bb	comment	We Have to Get the Bullet Out!: "The Tycoons" featured a minor b-plot in which a patient- a criminal who had been shot by a police officer- refused removal of a bullet in his leg. Subverted from the usual drama because not only was the bullet key evidence in the crime (the criminal didn't want it out so it couldn't be used against him in court) but because the bullet was also lodged dangerously close to a major artery and failing to remove it could've been fatal if it moved even slightly. However, as the patient was conscious he was able to refuse treatment. Another episode ("How Green Was My Thumb?") with a twist. The "bullet" in this case was an unexploded grenade accidentally shot from a launcher. Since the round was still live and could go off at any time, they had to get it out right there. So instead of going to Rampart, Dr. Brackett and Dr. Morton went to the scene, along with the Bomb Squad to instruct everyone on safeguards, keep bystanders clear, and eventually receive the recovered ordnance for safe disposal.

For instance, the episode "It's How You Play the Game" features a Cal Worthington-esque car salesman who gets attacked by a tiger. Gage calls in from the ambulance en-route describing the bite as a generic "animal" bite. Dr. Early reminds Gage that the dog needs to be captured only to be told that the "dog" was actually a tiger. Cue a nonverbal Flat "What" from him and Dixie, who just ended a phone conversation in time to hear Gage's response. Frequently, these kinds of reactions cause the Rampart doctor to ask the squad to repeat what they just said.

In the season 3 episode "Fools", the paramedics receive instructions from Rampart that they know are wrong for the situation. Roy switches radio frequencies in mid-case — a major no-no — and talks to the backup hospital. The doctor there gives him the instructions he expected to get, and he obeys without hesitating.

He kept arguing with the paramedics and eventually learned a hard lesson when he thought a diabetic was on an acid trip and could have died without advice from the hospital to give him glucose. What he learned was that a field medic and a civilian paramedic encounter very different types of patients and thus require very different sets of skills. In the pilot movie, Dixie is cited as being an ex-Army nurse, formerly stationed in Korea, who has experience with trained medics and medical corpsmen, which is why she's a strong proponent of the paramedic program.

The shooter is a Vietnam veteran of the darker type: he lives in a run-down studio apartment, drinks a lot, and seems to be jobless. He also has a secret stash of guns and ammunition: a military M1911 pistol, a couple of rifles, and even some grenades. When his landlord threatens to evict him, the guy goes full Sanity Slippage, shoots the landlord, and then holes up in his apartment. The paramedics and the police have to figure out how to evacuate the badly-wounded landlord while the veteran is shooting at them from his apartment window, apparently with the sirens from arriving emergency vehicles causing him to suffer major PTSD flashbacks.

When he fails, as he usually does, it hits him hard. But he usually bounces back pretty fast, too.

There were many African-American and Hispanic extras, including police officer Vince and an African-American detective who appears in a couple of episodes. Firefighter Marco Lopez was Hispanic and Johnny Gage was part Native American. Strongly averted with Dr. Morton. He's conspicuously the only black person in the main cast, but he's never treated as a token. From the first episode he's an accepted member of the Rampart ER medical team. His education as a doctor is a running subplot in several episodes; in fact, he's the only main character who gets anything resembling a Character Arc, as he progresses from an arrogant, wet-behind-the-ears intern to a confident, competent ER doctor.

Emergency! / int_78d0ebcf	comment	Crying Wolf: Two instances in the season three episode, "Messin' Around." First, there's the case of "Old Bill" who likes to hang around the ER because he's lonely. He complains of false symptoms but he's harmless and usually entertains children. One night, his back gives him problems and Dr. Brackett sees what happens. Brackett says he wants to examine Bill when he has a moment but Bill leaves. DeSoto and Gage are later called to his house, where they find him struggling to breathe. By the time he gets to the hospital, he's in a coma. Dr. Early muses that Bill had complained of the same symptoms many times over the past few weeks, but given his history and how vague his descriptions of his discomfort were, there was no way to be sure he actually had a problem. Later in the same episode, Squad 51 is called to a house to look at a child who's swallowed ant poison. The mother stops them from entering the house because the boy has called the gas company to report a false gas leak and the sheriff to make a false report of a python in the house. A sheriff's officer comes by and advises the woman to let the paramedics enter. Turns out this time, the boy really is in trouble. Earlier, in "Seance," a teenager is taken to the hospital over the objections of his friends who think he's faking it (again), but it turns out to be a real case of taking his mother's drugs and suffering some side effects (thankfully not long-term).

Emergency! / int_7a6e47f6	comment	Instant Emergency Response: While response times were narrowed for obvious dramatic and show-length reasons, the show did generally avert instant response by indicating several minutes or more had passed between alarm and arrival (in fact, every dispatch would end with the time in 24-hour clock style; when Squad 51 radioed their arrival at scene the dispatcher would again note the time - often ten or more minutes had passed). "Not Available" (Season 6) played the trope as its major plotline (thus the title). Paramedics are complaining of a lack of ability to prioritize calls because they can't know the full nature of the call until they get there, causing dangerous and possibly even fatal delays when multiple calls hit a single area. This is, unfortunately, Truth in Television. People call 911 (or their equivalent emergency number) for non-emergency medical situations. The consequence is that fewer fire/EMS units are left available for other true emergencies, such as car accidents, heart attacks, etc, and have to respond from a greater distance, increasing response times.

In one comical example, a sculptor building a "modern art" sculpture out of trash crawled inside the sculpture to finish it. However, he forgot to leave a way for him to get back out. The Station 51 crew had to figure out how to extract him without destroying the sculpture. In a more serious example, Gage and DeSoto were called to help a man who had a heart attack while being held hostage by bank robbers. Gage exploited this trope by convincing the robbers that they blew their whole plan when they called the paramedics to help the sick man, because it proved to the cops that they wouldn't follow through on their threats to kill the hostages. One of the most tragic examples was a woman whose son was displaying early symptoms of polio. She at first insisted it had to be something else then said that she hadn't gotten him the vaccine because she thought it had been controlled to the point where it was impossible to contract the disease anymore.

Emergency! / int_8d83bed9	comment	The Vietnam Vet: Several examples of various types: Roy DeSoto is one, but never shows any problems from it. One episode has a veteran who seems to be having a PTSD episode, thinking he was back in the war. But the doctors aren't immediately sure it's psychiatric, and some tests show he actually has a brain tumor. After emergency surgery, he seems to be improving. In one of the two-hour movies, "The Convention", Gage and DeSoto are riding with a team of San Francisco paramedics when they get called to the scene of a shooting. The shooter is a Vietnam veteran of the darker type: he lives in a run-down studio apartment, drinks a lot, and seems to be jobless. He also has a secret stash of guns and ammunition: a military M1911 pistol, a couple of rifles, and even some grenades. When his landlord threatens to evict him, the guy goes full Sanity Slippage, shoots the landlord, and then holes up in his apartment. The paramedics and the police have to figure out how to evacuate the badly-wounded landlord while the veteran is shooting at them from his apartment window, apparently with the sirens from arriving emergency vehicles causing him to suffer major PTSD flashbacks.

Emergency! / int_8ef5ae81	comment	Lethally Stupid: According to Randolph Mantooth, many of the rescues featured are based on real runs by real paramedic units. If so, there must be some fearfully stupid people out there... In one episode, Johnny and Roy get called to help a guy who was tossed and then gored by a bull while playing chicken with it on a motorbike. The two take in a Stokes litter to pick up the guy...and then the bull starts to charge. The two about-face, chuck the litter over the fence, and dive headfirst over. Eventually they bring the squad in to provide cover, and after they pull the guy out with him riding in the squad, the victim asks them to go back for the bike, since he worked all summer to pay for it. A homeowner goes up on his roof and starts cleaning his chimney using gasoline and sandpaper. The resulting explosion gives him some serious burns. A Jerkass hot-dog stand owner chooses to ignore Roy's warning that his gas heater is dangerously unsafe. Later that day, Station 51 gets a call to guess where? A used-car dealer who loves to make weird ads tries to film one with a full-grown tiger in the car with him. Despite being warned "no food!" by the tiger's handler, the dealer has a packet of salted peanuts in his pocket. The tiger smells the food and attacks him. A tragic example: In one incident, Station 51 is called to a movie set after a stunt with a car goes awry. The driver and a passenger are trapped in the car, so a crewman grabs an acetylene torch and starts cutting open the wreck so the two men can get out. The gasoline leaking from the car's tank puts a quick end to that. The crewman survives, although with extensive burns. The two men in the car don't. In the episode "Peace Pipe", Station 51 responds to a small fire in a house's toilet. The firemen get a nasty surprise when water from a garden hose actually feeds the flames! After putting out the fire using tarps and the untainted water from the fire engine's own water tank, the paramedics trace the problem back to a street worksite, where gas monkeys are using municipal water lines to flush a high-pressure fuel line from a refinery.

Emergency! / int_9ae85487	comment	Dr. Jerk: Doctor Morton starts out as an excellent example. In the early seasons he has no bedside manner whatsoever, a fault which gets lampshaded by Gage in one episode. He also has a tendency to jump to conclusions, such as a case where he harshly interrogates a young man who had brought his unconscious friend to the ER. Morton angrily insists that the man stop lying to him and tell the "truth" about the drugs the patient took, even though the friend says over and over that there were no drugs. It takes Dr. Brackett coming in to calm the situation down, and to discover that the patient was having a reaction to a black-widow-spider bite, not drugs. Somewhat justified in that Morton is identified early on as an intern, and later as a resident. This meant that he's not long out of medical school, and is still learning the finer points of being a doctor. He mellows a lot over time; by the later seasons, his attitude has substantially improved. For instance, in a late episode, a heavy rainstorm traps the paramedics in a remote fire station with no accessible hospital or even a local doctor's office, with only their own supplies and a psychologist for help. Morton flies in with fresh supplies, and his arrival is all that's necessary for the audience to know the medical situation at the station is now well in hand. In Season 3 Episode 17, "Fools", there was an intern named Donaldson, whose arrogance made Dr. Morton look a lot friendlier. Dr. Brackett prescribed spending a shift or two riding with Squad 51, and it worked like a charm.

Emergency! / int_a6e8221e	comment	Status Quo Is God: Played straight for the most part, as with most 1970s-era TV series. Even major illnesses or injuries, such as Gage's rattlesnake bite or Dr. Early's heart surgery, heal completely between episodes. Any time a main cast character is facing a major decision such as taking a promotion, you know they'll choose to remain where they are. And any major change in a character's status will be gone by the end of the episode. In one exceptionally blatant example, Roy and Johnny are named heirs to a rich old woman's estate, worth almost a million dollarsnote which was a lot of money in 1975, but other bequests and fees eat up the entire estate and leave them with only a few dollars each. Averted with Dr. Morton, however. He gets a genuine Character Arc: over the series run, he progresses from an arrogant, wet-behind-the-ears intern to a confident, competent, experienced ER doctor. By the sixth season, his skill is accepted to the point that when a heavy rainstorm isolates the paramedics in a rural fire station with no road access to a hospital or even a doctor's office, Morton's arrival by helicopter with fresh supplies is enough to tell both the paramedics and the audience that the medical situation at the station is under control.

Even worse, if the scene goes on long enough you'll notice that it's looped, so that one man's "HEY!" is the show's Wilhelm Scream. And the call alarm sound (two short tones, then a loud buzzer), was used in the Monk episode "Mr. Monk Can't See a Thing".

County firefighters as paramedics and get the legal backing necessary for them to use their training. Though the after-series movies get split in two for re-airing, this has sometimes been severely edited to fit the usual one-hour slot. The edited version is done as late series Roy and Gage reminiscing on the start of the program, which allows the very different story to be inserted into the random episode rotation of syndication.

While he's distracted by two other SFPD lawmen firing their revolvers through his door while he was firing down on everyone from his fire escape balcony fortified position, an SFFD engine company opens fire on him with their monitor, pinning him down in his apartment while Rescue 2 helped get the wounded and paramedics out of the line of fire.

The dispatcher would then, along with destination info, specify the equipment and station to be deployed. If "Station" is called, all units from that station are to be deployed (so a call of "Station 51" means both the engine and the squad roll out); otherwise it's just the apparatus stated (Engine for fire engines, Squad for rescue squads, Truck for ladder/crane trucks, Foam for foam generators, Deluge for high-volume monitors, Copter for helicopters, Boat for fire boats, Batallion for batallion chiefs to coordinate larger deployments, and Assistant for assistant chiefs for even larger ones).

Emergency! / int_ad1db87c	type	Oh, Crap!
Emergency! / int_ad1db87c	comment	Oh, Crap!: All of the firefighters flinch any time the word "brushfire" is mentioned or even hinted at. They've all been on brushfires, and know how bad they can get. Truth in Television: Southern California is known for very bad brushfires, which can move fast, burn very hot, jump fire-lines, and destroy hundreds of acres in no time at all. If Station 51's battalion chief, Battalion 14, is called in, you know this is a massive fire. Or if there's a call for a second alarm, or even higher. The longer the tones go on, the more you know it's going to be bad.. This is Truth in Television for the tone-based paging systems used even today by many Fire Departments. A call for multiple stations on such systems begins with all the individual stations' calling tones strung together. Sometimes, something just goes down right in their midst. In which case, they're the ones who report the emergency to the dispatcher in what's termed a "still alarm". An example of the term in use happens in "The Old Engine Cram". A visitor to the station suddenly collapses, so Captain Stanley radios, "LA, Station 51. We have a still alarm: a medical emergency at the station. Respond an ambulance." One example is when Johnny is bitten by a rattlesnake ("Snakebite"). The moment he tells the engine crew he's been poisoned by snakebite... Several episodes avert this when the 51 crew arrive on the scene and realizes the initial reports overstated the situation, or they're able to get a handle on it quickly and have Dispatch cancel some of the called units. The reverse is also true; Station 51 can arrive and realize they need more help and can ask the dispatcher for additional units or even a second alarm. The worst is if Station 51 is still en route to the scene and LA County starts calling in more units before they even get there, including mutual aid from local fire departments like Pasadena or Compton; it's going to be a monster. One example was in the two-hour special The Steel Inferno, where the fire was so bad, after Battalion 14 got there, Battalion 21 arrived shortly thereafter, then Assistant Chief 7, who is a rank higher than the Battalion Chiefs, manning the command post outside with the building inspector while Dr. Brackett manned the triage center in the garage with Dr. Morton and several nurses. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) also sent one of their helicopters from the Los Angeles heliport to assist as well with rooftop evacuations. Another was the two-hour special Survival on Charter #220, where when Engine 18 and Squad 18 are the first units on scene of the plane crash, horrified by the scale of the carnage, they radio for a "third alarm" to get more units there quickly before Battalion 14 Chief McConnikee and Vince arrive with Carson Police, with McConnikee taking command of the scene while asking Vince to have his officers clear the area of civilians and set up roadblocks to keep traffic out of the way of arriving emergency vehicles. Compton sends several of their fire companies to help as well.

Dr. Brackett sees something he doesn't like while examining the boy, and investigates further. He soon concludes that the boy is being abused by one or both parents. The boy, his mother, and his stepfather all deny that any abuse is going on, but eventually the truth comes out: it's a straight case of child abuse, with the stepfather beating the boy frequently. Finally he goes too far, and the mother takes her son and leaves him. In "Zero," Gage and DeSoto rescue a seven-year-old boy from an apparent suicide attempt. He's got bruises on his face, and it's eventually revealed that his mother (played by Mariette Hartley) was abusing him. She's treated more sympathetically (both by the show and the doctors) than one might expect, as someone who deeply loves her child and doesn't understand why she hurts him. At the end of the episode she leaves her family to seek help. In "Communication Gaffe," there is a mother who is trying to control herself but simply can't. In an interview, Dr. Brackett suspects there is a physical issue, and he's right. A car accident two months prior caused a blood clot in her brain. It's a great relief to everyone to learn of this and its successful removal.

Lampshaded at the end of the segment: Morton clumsily apologized and the friend said, "That's okay, Doc, you can't help your prejudices. Nobody can." It was an especially sharp slap at Morton — as a black doctor in the 1970s, he certainly had plenty of experience with prejudice himself, and really ought to have known better. In the episode "Snake Bite", Gage, DeSoto, and Chet were returning from a fishing trip when they came across a car accident. They did what they could to help the victims, then took them to the nearest doctor's office. The doctor's appearance left Gage speechless: he looked like a classic dope-smoking hippie, but he turned out to be a good general practitioner and competent emergency surgeon.

The modification is successful and they are able to free him instantly, saving the worker's arm.

In one episode, they have to rescue a man from a backstage area after he's attacked by a trained bear that took a dislike to him. They use fire extinguishers to repel the bear long enough to get the victim out. On another occasion, they're faced with a very aggressive dog defending its unconscious owner. Roy gets an air tank from the squad and uses the spray of air to drive the dog backwards, until it's in another room and he can close the door on it. At least twice, they have to use fire extinguishers to kill venomous snakes.

Captain Stanley says, "Like Texas City," a reference to a 1947 explosion of 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate on a cargo ship that's one of the largest disasters in U.S. history. Said explosion killed all but one member of the Texas City Fire Department and destroyed all four TCFD fire engines and caused widespread catastrophic damage. Almost 70 years later, a similar scenario played out in West, Texas, killing 15 people, mostly first responders and a couple of heroic civilians that offered to help fight the blaze, and injuring over 160-200 people.)

Curtis Murdoch (Will Hutchins) and his wife Emma are saved Christians who have only been that way for a couple of months, and have a daughter Melissa, who has suffered a mild concussion and a dog bite. Dr. Brackett wants to vaccinate Melissa because he believes the bite she suffered is from a rabid dog, but the Murdochs are reluctant, because their faith leads them to believe that the Lord wants Melissa to go through it on her own without vaccination (they also want Melissa to go home with them the same day she comes into the hospital, but Dr. Brackett wants her to stay there for a time for observation). This worries Dr. Brackett, who believes that if Melissa goes home the same day, she may die of the bite from a rabies infection. The hospital chaplain, Chuck (Don Chastain), is then called in, and explains to Curtis and Emma that the Lord will save Melissa from that dog bite, but that it will also take some cooperation on the Murdochs' part to have her vaccinated (he also says that the reluctance to have her vaccinated is tempting the Lord). This convinces the Murdochs, who admit that they haven't been saved all that long, and are inexperienced in the faith; Curtis then gives the go-ahead for Dr. Brackett to have Melissa vaccinated. Fortunately, the possibly needed vaccination is no longer needed, because the dog that bit Melissa was later examined and found to not have rabies.

Emergency! / int_f7a1f3dc	comment	Insomnia Episode: The aptly titled episode "Insomnia", where John just can't get to sleep during a run of night shifts, and becomes convinced he'll be able to sleep after they get a nighttime call. At the end of the episode, the station does get a nighttime call, but not for the rescue squad. Not to be discouraged, John grabs onto the rear handhold of the leaving fire engine, partial dressed in his bumper gear, and falls asleep on his feet.

Emergency! / int_f7fd81dd	type	Clean, Pretty Childbirth
Emergency! / int_f7fd81dd	comment	Clean, Pretty Childbirth: Season two episode "The Professor" has a woman apparently in the last throes of delivery — evidently without any prior warning signs at all, despite it being the mother's second pregnancy — and just a few seconds after Gage & DeSoto get there, they only lay her flat on her back, the woman pants a bit, says the baby's coming, and then Gage is holding a clean, blanket-wrapped kid, with the mother smiling & not a hair out of place. For a show that's otherwise dedicated to realistic procedure (even given that things had to be cleaned up for the censors), the scene's a huge anomaly. Almost every single childbirth presented in the series happens this way. Gage & DeSoto come in, woman is in childbirth, and after a few seconds of the woman panting and yelling, one of the paramedics will stand up holding a blanket-wrapped bundle, while the women lies back & smiles, with not a hair out of place and no blood anywhere.

Emergency! / int_fb25bc5f	type	Code Emergency
Emergency! / int_fb25bc5f	comment	Code Emergency: In "The Boat", there's an explosion and fire in the hospital basement. Dr. Morton pages "Dr. Evac" over the intercom to signal the need to evacuate without alarming the patients. As he's speaking, the P.A. is calling a Code Red. Code Red is also called in "Family Ties".note This is Truth in Television. Although the actual procedures can vary from system to system, most have a means to covertly alert staff to internal emergencies so things can be carried out discretely. And Code Red is a common hospital signal for a fire. Meanwhile, the fire department uses logical internal letter codes on occasion. For example, Code R means to respond as in an emergency (use lights and sirens)—it's significant if a unit is told to not use Code R, Code I means a fireman has been injured on site, and a Code F means a fatality.

Emergency! / int_fb9e0265	comment	Team Dad: Dr. Brackett is this to the Rampart ER staff. He's gruff, snarky, sometimes downright rude, and never hesitates to chew out someone who he thinks deserves it. But when one of his people is in trouble, he'll go well out of his way to help them — as when he helps a resident doctor get a loan so she can bring her family from Eastern Europe to the States. He includes the paramedics among "his people"; when Roy considers quitting the paramedic program because of a rescue that went bad, Brackett takes a few minutes to give him some very good advice.

In one episode an angry "Hell's Angel" type motorcycle dude with a bad cut on his head gets in a heated argument with Dixie. Brackett hears the shouting, walks into the exam room, and gets punched by the angry biker. He promptly gets up and decks the guy with one punch of his own, after which the biker lets Brackett examine his badly cut forehead without another word.

Emergency! / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Aside from when the demands of the plot required a change, the vast majority of the procedures carried out by the firefighters and paramedics were faithful to what real firefighters and paramedics did at the time. This is mainly due to Tighe and Mantooth having actually trained as paramedics, a paramedic advisor being on set, and, in many of the larger incident scenes, actual firefighters acting as extras. In addition, for the first few years, every rescue was cribbed from some real world paramedic logbook, at Cinader's insistence.
