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.

Other mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the "freeway accident," as the engine and squad roll out of the apparatus bay, we can see the real 127's vehicle still parked in the bay, near the rear door.

Visible crew/equipment: When Station 51 is on scene at the freeway accident, after the two girls are rescued from the wreck, when the explosion occurs Roy and John dive to the ground, and as the camera zooms out we can see the top of the location's array lighting unit, just past the engine's hose bed at the bottom left corner.

Trivia: When the pickup truck, and later both Engine 51 and Squad 51, drive down the street before turning into the gas station lot, we can see the Pickwick Recreation Center entrance on the left, which is where Station 51 will be dispatched to for an 'unknown type rescue' at the skating rink, later in the episode. And later, when the guys drive down the street before turning into the Pickwick lot, we can see that gas station on the right in the background. It's the unusual looking building between the gas station and the Pickwick entrance that makes this more noticeable.

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.

Welcome to Santa Rosa County - S6-E10
Revealing mistake: While in Santa Rosa County, after Roy and John rescue the two injured rock climbers, and also later after they rescue the burn victim from the lake, the Richards ambulance that transports the patients has license plate number "Z125631" which is pretty funny. That plate number should look familiar, as it's the same plate number on the ambulance in LA County, seen in many episodes such as "Rules of Order", "Unlikely Heirs", and "Not Available."

Revealing mistake: On the roof of the jail, Roy buckles his safety belt around his waist, with an extra belt for the prisoner hanging from it as well. When Roy removes the second belt from his own, we can see two carabiners that are now attached to his lifebelt, which go down into Roy's pants. Those carabiners are presumably attached to extra support under Roy's pants.

Visible crew/equipment: During the rescue at the jail, while Roy is hanging on the line, the outline of the mic transmitter is visible on his shirt at his left side.
9th Jul 2014
Revealing mistake: During the rescue at the jail, while Roy tries to get a safety belt around the prisoner's waist, the man freaks out, then grabs Roy and they both swing out on Roy's safety line. When the camera pans a bit too far to the left, we can see the edge of the fake "sky" screen on the left, behind the building's replica set used for closeups.

Revealing mistake: During the rescue of the two mountain climbers who are stuck on the side of a building, when Johnny and Roy are hanging from the lines which are attached to the lifebelts buckled around their waists, we can also see that attached to their lifebelts are carabiners, which are tucked inside their shirts. Those carabiners are presumably attached to extra support under their clothing. Johnny's is particularly visible, while Roy tries to cover his carabiners with his hand.

Fair Fight - S6-E5
Other mistake: Squad 51 is dispatched to the fighting couple three different times, and we hear the dispatcher give the address cross street as "Valleyheart," but all three times the subtitles read, "Valley Park." Subtitles from Universal Studios 2010 DVD.

Fair Fight - S6-E5
Visible crew/equipment: When Johnny and Roy get back to the station and walk into the day room, right after Marco says, "Well, either he's sick, or he's the laziest dog ever lived," we can see the shadow of the boom mic moving back and forth across the top of the wall, on the right.
9th Jul 2014
Continuity mistake: While Roy, John, Brice, and Bob are standing at the nurses' station, there's a closeup of Brice's arm as he explains that he's checking his drug box, and the watch he's wearing in the closeup has a gold/silver metal link watchband, but Brice is wearing a different style watch, with leather straps and buckle.
9th Jul 2014
Continuity mistake: After Brice completely ticks off John regarding the advisory committee while standing at the nurses' station, when John and Roy walk up the hallway to the receiving entrance Roy's not wearing his watch as he's carrying the drug box, but at receiving he's wearing his watch.
9th Jul 2014
Visible crew/equipment: After Station 51 is dispatched to the fire at a singles club, when Engine 51 pulls into the parking lot it and then turns around, the reflections of multiple array lighting can be seen on the engine's surface and Mike's window when he opens the door.
9th Jul 2014
Other mistake: When the self defense instructor tries to use Mrs. Pestone to demonstrate the flip, he puts his arm around her and covers her mouth, then it cuts to a shot of Squad 51 rushing down a street. This particular shot is from 5x8, "The Lighter-Than-Air Man," when Roy drives past the school kids and crossing guard.
9th Jul 2014
Other mistake: During the singles club fire, after Johnny and Roy check the men's room upstairs, there's a shot of firemen in full turnout gear with hoses, and this footage is from the first season's pilot episode, "The Wedsworth-Townsend Act."
9th Jul 2014
Other mistake: During the actual cliff rescue of the hang gliding accident victims, Roy and John are wearing hiking-type shoes with ridges on the soles, not their uniform shoes.
9th Jul 2014
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.
9th Jul 2014
Revealing mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to "accident with injuries," en route one of the camera angles is from the POV behind Roy and John, where the back of the squad is located. The problem is that there's bright sunlight on their backs as they’re driving, when it shouldn't be there. Artistic license is acceptable, but having so much sunlight where it should not be reveals that Squad 51 is not in its normal state.
