Continuity mistake: On scene at the drunk's car accident with the little girl trapped in the car, in the shots facing the girl's mother she's standing with Vince behind the back of the car, near the crowd of bystanders, but in Roy's closeups while he's in the car with Debbie getting her vitals, we see the mother's legs (note her yellow polka-dot dress) right behind Roy, near the open front passenger door.
Peace Pipe - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: After watching the movie on TV, Chet says he has royal Indian blood, and when Johnny walks over to Chet he puts his arm around Chet's shoulder, and tells him it's called, "White man royalty syndrome," then it cuts to a closeup of Roy, and we see Chet still standing by himself.
Continuity mistake: After Early tells Dixie about the patient with an unknown illness, in the shot from the hallway, we see Carol taking him into treatment 4, which has a windowless door, but when Morton is examining him in the shot from inside the room there's a window on the door (looks like treatment 6).
Continuity mistake: When the woman from the car accident is brought to the ER, she's put into treatment 4, as mentioned by Dixie and all three doctors, and it has a windowless door, but when Early and Morton are speaking to the patient about the car accident, they're all in a treatment room with a window on the door (looks like 6, the one opposite the nurses' station).
Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny are with the injured hiker (John Travolta), after the gear-filled stokes is lowered to them Johnny places it right behind the hiker's head, but in the hiker's closeups the stokes basket vanishes, only to reappear in wide shots.
Continuity mistake: While the children from the bus accident are being lowered on 43's snorkel, Roy and Johnny are in the bus with the nun.

Continuity mistake: Just after the paramedics witness the purse snatching, when Johnny and Ed take off after the two purse snatchers, there are four cars parked at the curb in front of the squad, but just before Johnny leaps over the white picket fence, behind him we see that there are now six parked cars in front of the squad.
Audio problem: When Roy and John are with the unconscious man during the fire at the Atlas Hotel, Chet and Marco bring the stokes and Chet tells them that the fire is getting worse, and when Roy responds, "If we move him now we're gonna lose him," we see that Roy continues talking as Chet listens to him, but we hear nothing.
Revealing mistake: When Johnny climbs up to the roof to get Sheba down, Johnny has two long shadows, one from the sun and one from the set lighting.
Audio problem: At the start of the episode, while Johnny's mopping and Roy's fidgeting with the resuscitator, during their conversation, in the background we hear Captain Stanley talking to the other guys in the kitchen. The key words we hear Cap say are, "New problem location in our area...Molded products...Cardboard cartons...Two rows, aisles in between, up to 8 ft high...Bottoms get soaked." Then we hear Cap repeat, "New problem locations in our area," and continues, "1806 North Oak," and we hear all the guys laugh, though nothing's funny. Captain Stanley's dialogue is from 2x1, "Problem," at the start of that episode.
Visible crew/equipment: While Roy's in the office making out the activity report for the training center, Johnny walks over to Ed who is standing beside the map, and when they're dispatched to the overdose, as they get into the squad we can see two tape marks (one white, one black) on the floor, where Johnny and Ed had been standing.
Continuity mistake: While Ed is in the field with John and Roy, it's the three of them sitting in Squad 51 when they're en route to their destinations, but in some shots of the moving squad Ed is not seated between them, such as when they respond to the cliff rescue. Additionally, after the purse snatching incident, when they head to Rampart for John's hand injury, only one person's in the squad as it backs up to receiving, even though it should be three.

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.
Visible crew/equipment: After Roy gets chewed out by Dr. Sunderlin, when he and Johnny get back to the station, the spotlight on the passenger side is shiny and reflective, and set lights are reflected in it, then when the dispatcher drops tones for the next run, the spotlight has been sprayed with a dulling spray.
Visible crew/equipment: While en route to the mechanic whose engine fell on him, Mike is driving Engine 51, and seated backwards in the jumpseat behind Mike is Marco, who's wearing a helmet and his turnout, but in the shot from the POV behind Mike, we see the reflection in the rear-view mirror of the grey haired crew member, who is seated facing forward behind Mike.
