The Unlikely Heirs - S6-E3

Visible crew/equipment: At the scene of the plane that hit the building, after the explosion, when Foam 10 arrives there's a closeup of the firemen using the foam tubing, and behind the doorway one of the 'firemen' kicks the foam tubing, but notice that he's not really a fireman, he's actually a crew member who's wearing a turnout coat, though he's also wearing jeans and work boots.

Revealing mistake: After the husband and wife are pulled from the plane wreck, they're lying on the ground while Roy and Johnny are treating them. In this wide shot, which lasts about 12 seconds, Roy has no eyes or eyebrows, as part of his face has been blurred out, and when Roy moves his face it's quite bizarre to look at. This is visible on Netflix as well as the DVD, which was created in 2010 by Universal Studios, where Emergency! was filmed during its run on the air in the '70s.

Revealing mistake: At the structure fire at an abandoned building, when Engine 164 arrives we see that it has distinctive markings beside the driver's side door and tire rim. When Engine 72 arrives the same markings are in the same place, revealing that it's the same engine and they used different magnetic number decals for the engine.

Revealing mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to "plane that hit building," after they rescue the two aboard the plane, just before the explosion when the orange combustible drum is propelled into the air, we can see the stunt's projectile to get the drum airborne.

Continuity mistake: After Roy explains to Mrs. Evans that she shouldn't call them every time Simba runs off, when Chet finds Simba, Johnny holds him with his right hand behind the front legs and left hand under the tail, but closeup Johnny's hands are in the opposite positions.

The Promise - S3-E11

Trivia: During Richard's rescue from the ledge at Rampart, the snorkel that Roy and Brackett climb onto is Truck 127, from Station 127 aka Station 51. Truck 127 is used in many episodes requiring a snorkel, including 1x6, "Dealer's Wild" and 3x16, "Fools." There's a particularly nice shot at the end of this episode, when Engine 51 and Squad 51 are parked parallel to each other, and when Johnny responds to dispatch that Squad 51 is available, Truck 127 drives away between 51's vehicles. Nice touch.

Show generally

Question: In quite a few episodes of Emergency there is a character that the doctors and other nurses call Nurse Carol. She is the older nurse with dark hair. I would say she is on at least a fourth of all episodes in all seasons yet I can not see this actress getting credited or listed as uncredited anywhere. I wonder if she was an actual nurse. Does any one know who she was. Yes there also were a couple of other actresses who played a nurse named Carol on one or two episodes and they are listed in the episode guides. She also is the patient with her arm in the cast talking to Dr. Morton in the episode 6:18 Firehouse Quintet.

Answer: On IMDB, actress Anne Schedeen is listed as playing Nurse Carol on six episodes from 1974-76.
