Continuity mistake: While Brackett is with Ken in the ER he's wearing a blue/white striped tie, and when he calls Ken's doctor the tie is tied differently, but then it's tied the original way.

Other mistake: When all the guys are asleep in the dorm, at 12:47 AM the dispatcher drops tones for Squad 51 and we hear him say, "Squad 51, person sick," yet the footage that is shown is of all the guys getting up, not just Roy and Johnny, putting on their turnouts.

Continuity mistake: When Brackett leads Mr. Teal to his wife they walk into treatment 2, which has a windowless door, but in the shot from inside the room they're actually in treatment 1, which has a window on its door.

Visible crew/equipment: When John and Roy are dispatched to the couple's house, for the second time, after they've checked the rooms upstairs and downstairs they join the couple in the living room, and the reflection of the large overhead set lighting is visible in the mirror hanging over the mantel.

Visible crew/equipment: During the rescue of the man trapped in the submerged car, when 110's Captain is handing John and Roy (who are in the water) the cave-in gear's air hose, in the shots from behind him on deck, the reflection of a crew member wearing white pants can be seen on the chrome surface beside him.

Visible crew/equipment: The first three times that Squad 51 is dispatched to 1012 Clinton Drive, before they leave the apparatus bay, we can see the reflections of set lighting in the squad's spotlights, particularly the driver's side.

Revealing mistake: During the rescue of the man trapped in the submerged car, when 110's Captain hands John and Roy (in the water) the special cave-in gear's air hose, then when he opens the O2 valve and also when he revs up the jaws, we see that The Boat's port side has a taught line tying it off at the stern in the closeups (seen from The Boat's deck) to prevent it moving, but in the long shots there is no line.

Continuity mistake: When Engine 51 rolls up to the Teal house and quickly enter, we can see the flames inside through the living room window - no shade blocks the view, but in the next shot from the living room, the shade is now pulled halfway down the window.

Breakdown - S6-E15

Charlie: I think you guys are playing games with me, and I don't like it.
Roy: Now, wait a minute. We're not playing games. We don't play games with the equipment...
Captain Stanley: Wait, hold on. C'mon everybody, look we're all on the same side here, aren't we?
Charlie: I wonder.
Captain Stanley: Charlie, why can't we put the squad in the shop and have us a reserve vehicle here?
Charlie: No, no, Hank. Not until I'm 100% sure that I can't fix it. If there's anything wrong with it. This coffee stinks. [Leaves the room.]
Captain Stanley: You guys playing some kind of joke on him?
John: We didn't make the coffee!
Captain Stanley: Not the coffee, you twit, the squad.
Roy: Cap, there's something wrong with that squad out there.
Captain Stanley: [sigh.] All right, if you say so... I made the coffee.

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.
