Emergency!

Dinner Date - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When the paramedics and the rest of the firemen gather round the failed pacemaker patient, their positions change and in DeSoto's close-ups the Captain isn't seen (for the camera angle's sake), although in other shots he's right beside Gage. As an aside, note when Captain Stanley first first gets off the engine and trips in the background.

Dinner Date - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When DeSoto and Gage are in the pool with the little girl whose arm is stuck in the drain, their shoes and pants are soaked. However, just after Gage gets off the Biophone, his shoes and pants are completely dry, and then when the pool has been mostly drained both DeSoto and Gage are dry.

Dinner Date - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When the man with three bullet wounds is wheeled into the ER, he's taken into treatment 3 which has a windowless door, but in the shots from inside the room he's in treatment 1 with a window on its door, and the room has a different interior.

Dinner Date - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy are standing by the squad outside Rampart, talking about the man in a hepatic coma, both ER doors are wide open, but when the woman drives up and then shouts that she needs help both doors are closed, and this continues a few times depending on the angle of the shot.

To Buy or Not to Buy - S5-E14

Other mistake: On scene at the traffic accident, when the woman and the boy with non-serious injuries are seated at the back of the ambulance, neither Roy or Johnny are going along with them to Rampart, yet Johnny puts the drug box inside the back of the ambulance with them, and the ambulance drives off. With their drug box! Captain Stanley even says that he'll advise dispatch that they're available for a run at the scene, while the guys will be looking for the dog.

The Game - S6-E1

Trivia: It's in this episode that the Heimlich Maneuver is used for the first time by the paramedics. At the USC game, when a guy is choking on a hot dog, John and Roy are called, and John uses the Heimlich. Up until season 6 we've seen the guys use other methods, such as the ChokeSaver which look like huge white tweezers, to remove obstructions in an airway, as seen in 4x9, "Foreign Trade."

Question: Why is the driveway in front of the station always wet? Day or night, whenever they pull in or out it looks like it was just hosed down.

Answer: It is standard practice to wet down driveways so that they stand out in a long shot.
