Floor Brigade - S3-E19

Other mistake: After getting the hermit out of the cave, Roy asks Marco to take the EKG leads "over there", but then hands them to Chet (played by Tim Donnelly) saying "here Tim", and the subtitles read that Roy says "Chet."

Floor Brigade - S3-E19

Visible crew/equipment: When Roy and Johnny climb the tower to rescue the man at the top, Johnny slips and Roy helps him down the ladder. When Chet begins his ascent, twice there are shots looking down the center of the tower, and in those two shots the cases of production equipment are visible on the landing where the camera is situated. The print on one case reads "400' MAGS", referring to the filmmaking magazines.

Continuity mistake: Roy and Johnny move a barking dog, who is tied up in front of a hermit's rock-faced cave, and retie the dog to a branch in some bushes, but in following close-ups of the dog he is still tied up at the original spot.

Continuity mistake: When they bring the Hermit into the ER, Brackett tells them to take him to treatment 4 and he's wheeled there, but in the shot from inside the treatment room we see that he's actually inside treatment 1.

Continuity mistake: While climbing the tower to rescue the "man" at the top, after Johnny slips and slams into the cross beam, when he and Chet are heading back down the tower, the two lights attached to the tower keep switching from the right side to the left side, depending if it's a closeup of them or a wide shot of their doubles. Additionally, in the closeups the lights are large and round, but in the wide shots one of them is a small square.

Continuity mistake: After the woman has staggered into the ER she is seated in the wheelchair, and when she jumps out of the wheelchair there is a tall ashtray can behind her beside the wall, but in the next shot that tall ashtray can has vanished.

Continuity mistake: After Station 51 is dispatched to the fire/explosion at the chemical company, when John heads inside to rescue the chemist, the SCBA cylinder he's wearing has one white sticker and one pinkish sticker. By the time John brings the victim out to the sidewalk, his air tank has changed back and forth repeatedly to one that has two red stickers.

The Promise - S3-E11

Trivia: During Richard's rescue from the ledge at Rampart, the snorkel that Roy and Brackett climb onto is Truck 127, from Station 127 aka Station 51. Truck 127 is used in many episodes requiring a snorkel, including 1x6, "Dealer's Wild" and 3x16, "Fools." There's a particularly nice shot at the end of this episode, when Engine 51 and Squad 51 are parked parallel to each other, and when Johnny responds to dispatch that Squad 51 is available, Truck 127 drives away between 51's vehicles. Nice touch.

Show generally

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.
