Loose Ends - S6-E12

Welcome to Santa Rosa County - S6-E10
Continuity mistake: In the scenes where Johnny and Roy are transporting the injured hikers in the back of the pickup truck, Roy's watch appears, disappears, then appears again.
Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy rappel down the cliff with the downed hang gliders, both of their lifebelts are buckled going from their left to right sides, but in Johnny's first closeups when he's with the second victim, Johnny's lifebelt is on the opposite way, note that it's buckled going from his right to left. Then once the glider falls Johnny's belt is on the original way.
Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny begin rappelling down the cliff to the injured hang gliders, Roy's not wearing the safety pack in the closeup, but as they're rappelling in the wide shot the large safety pack is suddenly on Roy's back.
Continuity mistake: On the roof at the studio, Wally sets up John's gear and anchors his rappelling line onto a single carabiner which is attached directly to the belt support around John's waist. Yet when Johnny flips upside down while rappelling down, in the closeups when Roy joins him, that carabiner is now locked off onto another carabiner, which is attached to John's belt, and both of their locking mechanisms are red. Then when John's on the ground, the carabiner attached to his belt and anchor is entirely silver.
Continuity mistake: When Roy and John are at the studio so John can test out Wally's rappelling gear, on the roof John's wearing his medical holster, but Roy is not, but when each rappel down in the wide shots they're both wearing it. Then in their closeups while hanging on their lines, Roy's wearing his medical holster, but Johnny's has vanished, then on the ground Johnny's wearing his and Roy's has vanished.
Continuity mistake: At the studio, when Roy and Johnny are on the roof with Wally to test out Wally's rappelling gear, before Johnny rappels down the thin swami around Johnny's waist and the loop at the back are both green, but once he rappels down the swami belt is grey and the loop is blue.
Continuity mistake: When the woman from the car accident is in the ER, Brackett tells Morton to intubate her and Morton grabs the laryngoscope and slides her body down on the gurney to a proper position, but in the next shot from another angle Brackett orders the intubation again and the same things are repeated.
Continuity mistake: While the woman from the car accident is in the ER, when Brackett tells Morton to intubate her Morton has a penlight (to check pupillary response) in the pocket of his scrubs, but in the following shots that penlight keeps vanishing from his pocket and reappearing.
Continuity mistake: While Brackett and Morton are working on the boy who was shot with a pellet gun, when Morton is about to intubate the boy, we see that the O2 mask has been removed from his face and lying behind the boy's head, but when Morton hooks up the hose to the ventilator, we see the O2 mask and its elastic are still around the boy's neck. Then when Brackett says, "Prep him," the mask is gone.
Continuity mistake: While 51 is breaking into the bookie's apartment, after Chet uses the axe on certain areas of the door he puts the axe down, and in the shot from inside the apartment Chet reaches in through the hole on the door to undo the chain and remove the bar, but when the door opens there's another new axe mark over the top lock that was not made by Chet.
Continuity mistake: During 51's basketball game against 16, when Chet takes his first shot and makes the basket the scoreboard now shows 51's at 16 and 16's at 30, then Chet makes the second basket, but the scoreboard shows 51's still at 16 and 16's at 32.

Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy, who are off duty, show up at the nurses' station so Johnny can sell some more tickets, note the paramedic status board on the wall in the base station room. In the closeups 51's red and yellow magnets show that both the engine and squad are at the station, but in the wide shots both magnets are in the other columns.
Loose Ends - S6-E12
Continuity mistake: At the freight yard fire, after the two men with toxic fume inhalation are located and rescued from the boxcar, Battalion 14 arrives and we see that the Battalion Chief is McConnike, and Captain Stanley even calls him "Chief." The problem is that it's not until episode 6x14, "Insanity Epidemic," in which McConnike is made the Battalion Chief, and that causes Cap to act a bit like a paranoid nut due to an incident years before. Episodes were often aired out of the order of which they were filmed. As an aside, when McConnike arrives, watch him trying to put on his turnout.
Continuity mistake: After Station 51 is dispatched to Oceanland Park, when the engine and squad drive through the parking lot and pull up in front of the sky-tower, the entire left side of the lot is completely empty, but in the overhead shot as they head to the top of the sky-tower for the rescue, that side of the lot is filled with buses, cars, and other vehicles.
Continuity mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to Oceanland Park, when the engine and squad arrive on scene at the sky-tower, Engine 51's hosebed is suddenly entirely covered with green canvas.

An Ounce of Prevention - S6-E13
Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny walk into the day room all spiffy and ready to leave for the Tom Jensen Show, Chet's legs go back and forth from being uncrossed to crossed, depending on the angle of the shot. As an aside, something to watch for is Henry the dog burying his face between Chet's legs, and Chet's reaction.
Welcome to Santa Rosa County - S6-E10
Continuity mistake: When Bittner brings John and Roy back to the lake for the fishing, The Boat on the lake explodes and Roy and John dive into the lake and rescue the burn victim, but when they're at the back of the camper with the victim, heading to the clinic, Roy's and John's jeans and shirts are completely dry.
