Emergency!

The Old Engine - S3-E2

Visible crew/equipment: At the structure fire, when Squad 51 stops at the hydrant to lay the dual lines, as Engine 51 drives past the squad, the reflections of array lighting and the reflector screen are briefly visible. Then when Engine 51 rolls up to the fire, as Captain Stanley tells dispatch to send a second alarm and approach from the west, we can see the reflection of a crew member wearing a long sleeved white shirt and dark slacks, in the window behind Captain Stanley. He's still visible when Squad 51 pulls up alongside Engine 51, and also when Cap tells Engine 9 to lay duals.

Decision - S2-E1

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.

Decision - S2-E1

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.

Musical Mania - S2-E11

Visible crew/equipment: When the 15 year old OD is in the ER, after Morton removes the squad's resuscitator from the mask and replaces it with an Ambu bag, the cameraman moves forward and leans in, causing a distinct shadow on Johnny and the patient.

Show Biz - S2-E3

Visible crew/equipment: When Johnny walks out of the ER, and finds out from Sally that Roy's been spreading advanced publicity about Johnny's 'modeling career', and then when Dr. Knott joins them, the outline of the mic transmitter is visible on the back of Roy's shirt.

Kids - S2-E2

Helpful - S2-E12

Visible crew/equipment: When Squad 51 responds to 'man injured', when they arrive at the house, Johnny asks Roy if there's a dog on the roof, and it cuts to a shot of Sheba, the dog, just as she glances toward the tree, and behind the tree we can see the moving legs of a crew member, likely Sheba's trainer.

Publicity Hound - S1-E8

Visible crew/equipment: When John and Roy are tunneling through to the little girl trapped in the hole, they're in the second larger hole that has been shored up on all sides with wood (to keep it from collapsing), but when Roy points the chrome flashlight down the lateral hole Johnny's digging in, we can see in its reflection that the fourth wall doesn't exist, where the camera and lights are located.

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.

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."

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.
