Emergency!

Robert Fuller (Dr. Kelly Brackett) had been close friends with Julie London (Dixie McCall) and Bobby Troup (Dr. Joe Early), long before he co-starred in Emergency!

Dixie lives in Apartment # 16.

While Dr. Brackett is blowing to get the chorloform into the the horn to relax the baby rabbit, there are shots of the little boy pursing his lip and blowing and Joe Early doing the same thing.

Prior to Julie London's marriage to Bobby Troup, she was married from July, 1947 to November, 1953, to this show's creator, Jack Webb.

Although their relationship was platonic on the show, Julie London (Dixie McCall) and Bobby Troup (Dr. Joe Early) were married in real life. Their marriage lasted from December, 1959 until Troup's death in February, 1999.

When the Engines/Snorkel leave the station (Novato St 4), they turn left. In actuality, the area they responded to would have been a right turn out of the station. The directors apparently did not like the right turn option.

Several external building shots of the skyscraper on fire were directly recycled from the Irwin Allen movie The Towering Inferno.

Goof: As they are pulling up to station 86 Johnny says that if he ever bought a house he would buy it up here. But during season 6 episode "To Buy or Not to Buy" Johnny did buy a house.

Accent: The dispatcher who answered the Sheriff on the raido for the boat rescue had a deep south accent when they are in Southern California.

Birthdays: Johnny's August 28 Roy's November 7

Bob Belliveau, who appeared in this episode was Brice's partner, was the first paramedic to be certified by the LA County Fire Department, and has the certification number 0001.  This was his first and only known acting appearance (he wasn't credited), but acted as a script and technical consultant for many other episodes.

When Station 51 arrives at the cave in site, it is late evening, near sunset.  After Johnny is lowered down the hole, it's getting dark.  However, shortly after Roy informs Rampart of the new cave in, it appears all of the footage was shot during day time. Post production attempted to maintain continuity by lowering the brightness of the tape, but shadows can be seen around all of the rescuers.

New Mascot: Henry the Bassett Hound becomes the new mascot. No mention is made at all about Boot the previous mascot. Johnny suggests the name Henry, which is also Capt. Hank Stanely's name.

First rescue, use of EKG and strip transmission inconsistent with previous episodes. (1) When Squad 51 arrived at scene, victim already was patched in. Even if the engine had the patches, the distinct beeping of the EKG was heard. (2) When Johnny used the land line, he connected the EKG through the land line with the phone patch. Then once the patch was secured on the phone, Johnny went to the biophone to continue talking with hospital. Why go through the land line with EKG... they could have just sent it through the telemetry unit.

Additional gaffe - When Squad was dispatched on first run "in place of Squad 39", they turned left out of the station. Later, when there were "called up to Station 39", they turned right out of the station.

James G. Richardson is credited as a special guest star, due to the fact he starred in the short-lived Mark VII series, "Sierra", which aired during the Fall of 1974.

This time during the surgery, you actually see blood on gloves and sponges. They did not always show the characters getting victim's blood on them.

BLOOPER: Dr. Early calls Mike Morton Frank in the ER treatment room as they work on Johnny. Had to be a script error or a slip of the tongue.

Blooper: In the treatment room, Roy is clearly not wearing a watch. When he goes out to talk to Chet, he has a watch on. When he goes back into the treatment room, once again there is no watch.

Blooper: Dr. Early said, "Look we both know what kind of paramedic he (Johnny) is, now let's see what kind of patient he is."

Johnny was a patient at Rampart from the "monkey virus" and from a rattlesnake bite. So they already know what type of patient he is.

A nurse would not be allowed to constantly kick the Physical Therapist out when she is working with a patient like the grumpy nurse did.
