Continuity mistake: Just before Engine 51 and Squad 51 arrive at the scene of the hang gliding incident, there's a long shot of the victims lying injured on the side of the cliff, and when the camera zooms out we see Johnny and Roy with the informant of the accident standing at the top of the cliff, even though Squad 51 hasn't actually arrived at the scene yet. That same shot is shown a minute later after they all arrive, when Roy says that he'll get some equipment.
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: At the singles club fire, after Roy and Johnny go in to look for the missing man, we see Mike charging the lines, then there's a shot of two of 16's guys walking past the stairway with a hose, and notice that on the stairway we can see Johnny's and Roy's legs heading down the stairs. This same shot is shown again after Roy and Johnny check the men's room upstairs, and once again we see Roy and John coming down the stairs when 16's guys walk past them.

Then Johnny gives Roy the victims vitals, and when Johnny goes to the vent pipe to get the blankets they just sent down, suddenly the trauma case is down below with him, and it's open, but Johnny never retrieved the case before getting the blankets. Additionally, Roy tells Rampart that the victim has a "large discoloration on the chest", even though John never said anything about it to Roy, when he gave the victim's vitals over the HT.

Continuity mistake: While Roy and Johnny are studying, after hearing Roy's positive horoscope Johnny tells Chet his birthday is August 28th. However, in the pilot episode "The Wedsworth-Townsend Act," Dixie has a get-together as a combination celebration of John's birthday and gathering of the supporters of the paramedic program. At the party Dixie offers the hors d'oeuvres to Johnny saying, "You first, it's your birthday," as he takes a mouthful of food. During that week we see people wearing coats, and the many deciduous trees (not the evergreens and palms) in LA County have already lost their leaves, which means it's certainly not summertime, August 28th.
Continuity mistake: When Roy and John are helping Jeanine get her head unstuck from the table, Jeanine's braid is very loose and coming apart, but when her head is free and she jumps into her mother's arms, Jeanine's braid is braided properly.

Correct, it was J. Pat O'Malley...he also played the grandfather with his grandson when their rocket exploded, and also played "Old Bill" in the episode with Ann Prentiss, where Gage saves the little girl from the burning tree house, and her mother falls in love with him.
