    Storyline

    Edit
    The creme of Jack Webb action series ran 6 seasons from 1972-1979, inspired by CA legislation signed by Then-Gov. Ronald Reagan on July 14, 1970. The new law paved the way for creation of firefighter paramedic programs all over California. This series showcases the Los Angeles model and the emerging specialty of Emergency Hospital Medicine. In Los Angeles, firefighters train to certify as FF/PM, employed through the L.A. County Fire Department. The newly-built Station 51 has one full-size Engine and a smaller rescue squad truck which carries state of the art equipment used by the FF/PMs. This includes a mobile radio and portable EKG machine which allows them contact and transmit information to and from the field to ER specialists at hospitals like Rampart General. There are spectacular rescues and more mundane runs; prompt treatment in the field by FF/PMs keeps a large number of patients alive long enough to reach a hospital. At Rampart, teams of skilled professionals provide appropriate medical care to the patients transported by Squad 51 and other FF/PMs. A close friendship evolves between the Squad 51 FF/PMs and the Rampart emergency team. The FF/PM mantra: "take it easy" is born. —LA-Lawyer

    • Trivia
      After the series, Jim Page, considered as the father of modern EMS and served as a series consultant, offered Randolph Mantooth the opportunity to train and become a Firefighter with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. He turned it down, but only after much reflection.
    • Goofs
      Because the exterior shots of the station were from an active working LACoFD station(127), Truck 127 was parked off to the side of the station during filming, and during several of the response clips you can see parts of the actual truck to the right of the building.
    • Quotes

      Paramedic John Gage: I remember... I was working B-Shift over at Station 10. That was a great, old station. Know why?

      Paramedic Roy DeSoto: It had a pole?

      Paramedic John Gage: It had a pole. A fire station just isn't a fire station without a pole.

    My formative years occurred during the span of Emergency. It was a great show and an inspiration in many ways. I feel bad for my 3 boys that they will not now the innocent quality product that I viewed as a kid. Action, accidents but never pointless gore and suffering. I'd love to know how many of today's firefighters became firefighters after watching Emergency as a kid. Same goes for how many kids became cops after watching Adam-12.

    Hopefully, Nick at Night or TVLand will keep these great shows around forever.

    P.S. Ringers lactate and D5W - fluids given to help stabilize the body when in shock.
