    Rick, great video but I have a correction to the information you provided in the video. The Fire Station 106 you showed in your video is Los Angeles City Fire Station 106, located in the West Hills area of the San Fernando Valley. The station that was under consideration originally for shooting the series (and ultimately decided against), is Los Angeles County Fire Station 106 located in the city of Rolling Hills Estates. The producers of the show were working with LA County Fire Department, hence, LA County Fire stations were the locations under consideration. For those who may not be aware, LA City and LA County Fire Departments are two large, separate agencies. They do not have coordination with their fire station numbering identifiers as some regions do, hence, just like you show LA County Station 51 in the video, there is an LA City Station 51 (LAX).
    One other piece of information people watching this video may find interesting. About 25 years-ago, LA County FD renumbered their station at Universal Studios from Fire Station 60 to Fire Station 51 as a tribute to the TV show that brought so much attention and notoriety to both the paramedic program and to the department. In the first season of Emergency!, Engine 60, an open-cab Crown fire engine, was used as Engine 51. As soon as it was clear the show was a hit, Universal ordered a brand new engine for the show which was used for the rest of the show's run. Both of those engines and "Squad 51" are on display at the LA County Fire Museum located in Bellflower, CA (about 12 miles from downtown LA).

  • @miketype1each
    @miketype1each 4 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    After seeing your video about where the show's squad and engine are currently located at the museum, I researched this location and history for myself. Apparently, Mr. Cinader himself was instrumental in getting the fledgling paramedic program off the ground. He went on to serve as a board member of the program, which is why, I believe, this fire station is dedicated to him. Additionally, "Rampart" hospital remains in operation, and looks very much the same.

    @kencohagen4967 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    In another video I told how my Dad got me into the show. Right after California passed legislation allowing paramedics to treat patients Arizona followed suit. But they had no one to train paramedics, so my Dad, a Respiratory Therapist, helped train the first two classes of Paramedics until a trading program was established. He worked with Doctors to set up protocols for our paramedics to follow, although that was a very very long time ago. He also worked for the Hospital where the first trauma center opened in Phoenix Arizona. After they were up and running, several other area hospitals opened their own trauma centers and hired him to help train their personnel. For instance, because the airway and heart are so important if a Doctor wasn't in the trauma room yet, the Repsiratory therapist would be incharge for the brief time they waited for a doctor to get there. Without an airway or heartbeat your toast, and that's why his input was so important to the effort. These days things might be different. But back in the 70's and early 80's things ran that way. Seeing the show reminds me of my father, and my brother who followed in my father's footsteps. We lost him in 2003. He had retired from hospital work and was teaching the next generation to take over for him. When he died we invited friends and family to hold a memorial service for him. My brother and I got up and told our favorite memories of my father, then invited everyone else in attendance to join in. Apparently he touched as many lives as he saved , and every time I catch the show I think of him all over again. Be safe and stay healthy during these troubled times!

    Great video Rick. Your facts are spot on. There is one thing that is important that seemed to be brushed over. Filming at Station 127 was done for exterior shots of the trucks leaving and returning. They were reshot there in 1974 when the received the Ward. Filming was only done in the interior of 127’s if a shot was needed with the bay doors open. They shot on location 2 to 3 times a season. A smaller scale set of 127/51 was built on a sound stage (w/Ramparts ER) at Universal for daily filming.
    For season 1 & 2 the 1965 Crown E51 was actually 2 twin engines. When filming in Carson E127 was used and at Universal E60 was used. Universal Station 60 was later renumbered 51 when a new station was built. Magnetic 51’s were placed on both rigs to hid their real numbers.
    Now here are 2 things to look for when watching the show....
    1) From season 3 till 6 once they got the Ward, watch the shot when they leave the station. To the right of the building, you can see E127. Once they got the Ward, E127 had to be moved off camera for the shot. Apparently it wasn’t hidden back enough to be fully out of the shot.
    2) The stage set was smaller than station 127. 127 was/is very large, to house a tiller/quint truck and 2 pumpers. The set was built to hold one pumper and the squad. You can tell the difference between the set and 127 based on the bay length, number of maps on the wall and number of doors on the wall of the squad side. Real station has more door for more rooms.

    • @jamestobey6163
      @jamestobey6163 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can tell the difference between the actual station and the set pretty easily. First, if they were out back of the station with the hose tower and cars. The lighting is also markedly different. The real bay is also deeper. There are additional doors visible in the rear bay.

    I loved the chemistry between the two main characters. Doing a little research, I was surprised to learn they both actually took emt training in order to look more real and that the show itself brought attention to how important EMS was in a community. I believe I read that before the show, only 25 EMS stations were operating nationwide. If I remember correctly, Mantooth and Tighe both traveled to schools talking about fire safety.

    In 1971, I started the second grade. Emergency was the hottest show on TV as far as 7-year-old boys were concerned. I had a classmate whose father was a firefighter at Station 127, the station they filmed at. He brought in his helmet, turnouts (the overalls with attached boots they kept next to their beds when they slept so they could jump right directly into them), a fire ax, and some other equipment. We all got to try on his coat, turnouts, and helmet and got to hold that, what seemed like a giant, fire ax. 50 years later, I still remember it like it was yesterday.

    I was a firefighter EMT. I am now retired. I miss it sometimes. I watched Emergency faithfully back in the day. The actual exterior location was, in fact, Station 127. And it was nearby the refinery/chemical plant. Every firefighter at that station, in real world, has an SCBA next to his/her bed, just in case. On the TV show, you seldom saw the refinery. What you did see in the exterior shots was the peaceful idyllic location of Station 51. Go, LACFD

    I’m a retired Respiratory Therapist and I’ve worked with plenty of paramedics in my time. One night I was talking with a few paramedics on the ambulance dock and John and Roy came up! I mentioned the fact that at the time Emergency came out Respiratory Therapy was still a very new profession as well but it took us years to get noticed on TV shows!

    I grew up watching EMERGENCY, when I moved to Hallstead Pennsylvania I actually joined the volunteer fire company there, spent many years on the force there, becoming vehicle, school bus and life flight certified until I moved to North Carolina where I basically retired, this program was a great inspiration..

    Emergency inspired me to become an Army Combat Medic and later a Paramedic in Seattle after I got out of the Army. Yeah, I am a pro comic book artist today, but in the late '80s and through the '90s, I worked in the medical field thanks to this show.

    I was four or five years old when I first saw Emergency! in its first broadcast run.
    Ambulances of the early seventies were still mostly herses with O2 bottles in the back. It was not the Department of Transportation white paper which changed that by 1975, no matter what the EMT certification textbooks say. It was Emergency!
    When I took Emergency Medical Technician certification at age 19, two of my instructors had at least been partially inspired to certify because of the show. One had been one of the few herse drivers who certified in first aid and took EMT when the state approvedthe program. The other started as a firefighter/rescue and got paramedic certification for that role in the mid seventies.
    My certificates lapsed, and when I decided to renew them in 2004, I was surprised by some of the things which had changed.
    They were teaching endotracheal intubation to EMT's in 2004. In 1987 they maxed out with an esophageal obruptor.
    In 1987 Medical Anti-Shock Trousers, which they used in the show, were still considered the standard for treatment of hypovolemic shock. By 2004, they were relegated to treatment of pelvic fractures only. All ambulances still carried them, but I was the only one in the classroom - including the instructors - who had ever put one on a human.

    I visited station 127 back in 2018 when I was in California. I didn't go in, I just looked in from the street...... but it was pretty cool to be standing on the scene where one of my favorite childhood TV shows was filmed. It was like watching an episode of EMERGENCY in person. It really is amazing how much it has stayed the same over the last 50+ years.

    I also was a fan of Emergency when it originally aired on NBC in the 1970s, later when it went into syndication it was originally brand as the show Emergency One. Also Jack Webb was the creator of emergency Dragnet and Adam-12. Thank you Rick for this look back and onward to 90 K subscribers

    • @patrickwall8517
      @patrickwall8517 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're correct, Jack Webb created all three, the interesting thing is that he cast his ex-wife Julie Lundin, (Dixie) and her husband Bobby Troop in Emergency.

      Emergency One for syndication while new Emergency episodes were still being produced. Only other show I know of that altered the name for syndication while first run network shows were still being made was Happy Days. It was called Happy Days Again for syndication.

      @@greggv8 Also The Andy Griffith Show and Bonanza. The syndicated reruns were called Andy Of Mayberry and Ponderosa while the shows were still in production. And with you mentioning Happy Days, I think I remember Laverne & Shirley syndicated reruns being called Laverne & Shirley & Company.

    One more thing for the fans of the show, those under 30. You need to look up Julie London, she played Nurse Dixie. Her and Bobby (Dr. Joe) were a married couple. She was a smokey lounge singers and Bobby played the piano for a lot of her performances. She was an amazing singer as well as actress.

    .I grew up watching Emergency as well as Adam 12. I have been to 127 several times. Pre Covid. They were alsways happy to open the station for tour, at spur of a moment. It led me to an EMS career that ended in 2017. Roy and Johnny we're actually trained as paramedics, they just never took the tests.
