Emergency!

The Old Engine Cram - S5-E2

Trivia: At the start of this episode, Station 51 and other FD companies are at the training center, to find the best way to deal with sulfur trioxide. Notice the tanker in the background, which contains the sulfur trioxide, particularly after 18's guy falls into the trench, when they all work on helping him. It should look familiar. It's this setting that was used in the newer Emergency! intro that is shown at the start of each episode, where we see Roy and John in turnouts, treating the man dressed in blue who's lying on the ground between them. The specific rescue we see in the intro is not actually from any of the episodes.

The Old Engine Cram - S5-E2

Trivia: After John and Roy dial the wrong number twice, it cuts to a shot of LACoFD headquarters, and the dispatcher, Sam Lanier, transmitting the paging tones. In the closeup of the Motorola Quik-Call, note the company numbers on the tabs and that all FD companies are in numerical order except for 51, which is placed beside 127. (Can also be seen in other episodes).

The Mouse - S4-E20

Revealing mistake: At the apartment complex fire, after Johnny is knocked unconscious by the explosion, when the Pasadena fireman finds him and has to lift him up, it's funny how even though Johnny's unconscious we can see that he actually helps to stand himself up, so the fireman can lift him up and carry him out.

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.
