Yeah, like a change of plans. lol S06E09 Computer Terror Summary: The county payroll computer erroneously sends John a paycheck for $5900 instead of $590, and vows to return his incorrect check only when the county sends him a correct check, he then asks Dixie to use the hospital's phone to justify his situation. The firemen aid a homeless person who is accidentally crushed in a car at a junkyard, a man injured by the family dog (who gives Roy & John fits, including sending one of them into the pool), and two workers caught on a scaffold. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) Thoughts: Chet plays with Henry the dog when Cap comes in with the paychecks and when Johnny sees his, he's just shocked - as well as everyone else. When alone, Johnny lets Roy know he put in a safe place - his shirt pocket. Weeeeeelllll. Never mind, the first call takes the station to a junkyard where a homeless person was nearly crushed while deflating a car. It takes the whole crew to free the man but he could be saved. At Rampart, Johnny shows his cheque to Dixie and well, he's trying to outsmart the bureaucracy. Good luck with that. The next call takes the squad to a man with a heart attack - caused by a very large dog which likes human very much. It got first on both firemen's pants, and clung more to Roy's until the wife can get him under control - for the time being. A bit later it manages to steal Roy's BP cuff and splash, Roy lands into the pool, much to the amusement of Johnny. It goes that far that he even springs into the ambulance. Back at the station, the discussion goes on what Johnny will do and well, it might bite back. All his shiftmates give him advices but he won't listen, naturally. The last call takes the station to the workers on a scaffold and one of them is injured. Johnny decides to go up via crane while the others will help to bring both workers down - and at least the scaffold as well. The plan works very well but it was very high! On the next shift, all are eager to know how Johnny solved his problem: Well, he took out his real payment but paid all back in one dollar notes. Ouch. But Cap reminds him of federal taxes and all. Yeah, well, it certainly bites back - for Johnny. On a side note: - What is with Johnny and money? At first he gets overcharged on his credit card (episode 'Computer Error', S03E14) and now overpaid. And again, the computer is at fault but as Dixie had said (and what is known), the computer only does what the human lets it do. Right? - And another thing in common: both episode titles sound similar and Johnny has always money problems. Lots of it. Some pics (and gif): So, that's about it. Took so long to find the last one. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Well, here we go again with a wonderful episode. S06E10 Welcome to Santa Rosa County Summary: This episode is great for being one of the final episodes of the sixth season. It was great seeing how the community came together to meet the needs of people in trouble. No one acted as if they were put out or inconvenienced. That's how it used to be! It seemed that John and Roy bonded with the Sheriff during this time and enjoyed helping him in his plight to see his county have what it needed in the way of emergency assistance. The way he was willing to do whatever it took to get the job done, because the need outweighed the protocol, was great! The way James Jeter portrayed him was excellent! You could feel the Sheriff's love for the people he served. The Drs. at Rampart showed great concern as they assumed responsibility for treating the burn victim and worrying about the consequences later. I believe that was not just Hollywood taking artistic license, but how it truly was at that time; Drs. Who wanted to treat the patient, not just do a job. Sadly, we will never get back to that quality of care again! In the final scene, the guys are with the Sheriff, formulating a plan for him to cover his county by training a group of EMT-1 teams, instead of Paramedics. Because of the size and demographic of the county and what seemed to be a better fit for the time being, to more adequately meet the immediate need. All in all, it was a very uplifting and positive episode that I think did much to educate the public at that time, about the way emergency medical services in a community could be adapted to specific local situations, and were not always a "one size fits all" scenario. Being that this kind of medical service was new at the time Emergency was a new program, this episode took another step in showing communities what could be done. Today, these kind of services are common, and this series did a lot to help make that possible. There have been many shows like Emergency, but none have had the impact this series had! Truly a classic and one of a kind! - by elbertmarti on IMDB Thoughts: We start with the guys at the station, going to have four days off. Johnny steals food right out of Cap's hand when he and Roy tell them about their vacation and fishing trip, yet Cap won't allow any fish at the station. Chet was obviously invited too but he refused, so Marco teases him about polishing his car for four days. lol. At a lake in Santa Rosa County, Roy and Johnny don't have any luck with catching a fish, so they leave when a couple just arrived. Back on the main street, they follow the sheriff's car to two stranded climbers upon a mountain and offer their help. Sheriff Bitner quickly agrees and provides the needed material, so the paramedics got some work do - and also have to improvise. They manage to save one of them and the sheriff is very eager to learn about the paramedic programme and so Johnny and Roy tell him over chili. It's also a lot to consider in, like population and all. Johnny's Land Rover is also taken care of. The next day, Sheriff Bitner invites the guys to the lake again and the fishing spot when a boat close by explodes. Immediately Roy and Johnny dive in to save the couple and the man has severe burns. Again they have to improvise and break into the clinic. The sheriff gets them certified before Johnny calls the doctors at Rampart. Dr. Brackett goes with it and well, the man is saved. Over dinner again, the paramedics and the sheriff discuss the best strategy to get a service running in this rural area and so they come up with EMT-1 teams and CB communications. Back at 51, Roy and Johnny return with fish from which Cap immediately flees from, yet Johnny teases him along with Henry. Ouch! Note: - The Land Rover is Randy's own private car. Some pics (and gif): So, that's about it, I guess. Enjoy both and see you tomorrow!

Oh. Have I missed anything? S06E11 Paperwork Summary: Capt. Stanley assigns Chet and Marco to fix numerous incident reports rejected by the computer. A man runs his car into a fire hydrant; when leaves his son alone to call for help (because the son wanted to "watch the water") the son nearly drowns by falling into a storm drain. Dixie hires a new supply nurse, which makes it harder for Roy and John to get supplies for Squad 51. The paramedics help a college janitor with stomach pains after drinking Mesoptamia-era wine and two people trapped in a warehouse fire. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) Thoughts: Well, there was a computer problem again, and so Cap Stanley assigns first Chet to correct some numbers on several sheets. Several hundred sheets. But before he could start, they got called out to a boy who nearly drowns by falling into a storm drain. Johnny has to squeeze in to get the young boy free and when freed, they do all they could to save the young boy. His father has just left him alone for some time. At Rampart, Johnny gets surprised by Dixie that they have now a supply nurse and well, the paperwork reaches them too - with vouchers, several copies and more. And well, Johnny says she's only doing her job - which might return back. Anyway, at the station, Chet has finally sorted out the numbers when Marco wants to prepare lunch and puts all papers away. Much to Chet's anger but Cap says to let it do the next shift. The next call takes the squad to the university where a student has drunk ancient wine (2,600 years of age) and has stomachache, yet as it turns out later the professor faces the same ache and well, the cause was the chicken sandwich, not cooled. Back at the hospital, the squads have to line up to get their supplies and have to judge anything. The nurse messes up Roy and Johnny's names and well, Johnny's got his words back thrown back by Roy and they still have paperwork to do, even in the squad. The last call takes the station to a warehouse fire with two people trapped in an office. The main way is blocked by fire and so they open a side entrance and with some ladders to get them free. It works. At Rampart, Roy and Johnny are ready to face the supply nurse when Dixie tells them she isn't there anymore, because even at the hospital it get messed up and so all forms can be trashed. Back at the station, the paramedics are happy to be free again, yet Marco has messed his numbers and so Cap decides that all have to help, paramedics included. Ouch! Some pics: That's about it, I guess. Tomorrow then an episode, aired just a day before I was born. lol See you then.

Yeah, technique has grown since. S06E12 Loose Ends (aired a day before I was born ) Summary: The firemen of LA County are competing to sell tickets to their annual picnic: and Johnny wants only to win 2d place: the waterbed. Dixie visits 51 and determines Henry is not a kissy dog. Tables turn hard when 51 arrives at the scene of a vehicle accident with injury, Johnny visibly battles his emotions while he examines the dead driver while calmly chatting with the man's adolescent daughter, Tina, wedged by her foot under the back seat. The gorgeous Dr. Kelly Brackett is extracted from car #2. Johnny IDs victim 2 over the biophone for Rampart; they are all on pins and needles. Roy has to tell Brackett the other driver did not survive; despite the fact Kel was not at fault, the good doctor is in tears over his part in the tragedy. Tina goes into shock and has not spoken since her chat with Johnny. Early and Dixie must battle to keep stubborn Brackett in bed. Squad 51 has engine trouble across the street from an LAPD undercover stakeout of a finance company. Bad guys go down but one of the officers, Ed, suffers angina pains. Brackett is a horrible patient; but nothing else will do but for him to speak to Tina personally. He nearly breaks down again as he talks to the girl and apologizes for his part in her father's death. Tina is shockingly matter-of-fact. But, it is now completely obvious Brackett was driven to become a healer; he could not have been happy in any other line of work. Johnny has atrocious table manners (Henry chews less noisily) but a chemical fire at a freight yard halts the masticating. One of the boxcars is carrying ammonia; others are carrying solvents. Cap Stanley knows the recipe for poison gas when he hears it and orders the rescue squads to use their gas masks. By the time the Battalion Chief 14 (William Boyett) shows up, he can cancel the second alarm: Cap Stanley and crew have done it again. Brackett buys tickets to take Tina to the firemen's picnic and Early buys more. Johnny's lucky number better be 51; but, if so, it is goodbye to the waterbed, and hello, Las Vegas. — LA-Lawyer (on IMDB) Thoughts: We start with the guys at the station and Johnny out for selling tickets to their annual firemen picnic. Dixie stops by to play with Henry but Johnny has no luck into selling tickets to her - and he only wants to win the secodn prize which his crewmates know. lol The klaxons sound and the station is called to a traffic accident. Johnny goes to the first car and still treats the dead father if not for fearing the child, Tina, whose foot is stuck under the seat. He and Cap Stanley free the girl and bring her to Rampart. Johnny then joins Roy and Chet at the second car whose driver turns out to be Dr. Brackett. Both are shocked but remain porfessional. Johnny gives the news over to Rampart via biophone and you can guess the reaction there. Tina and the doc are in shock and Dr. Brackett turns out to be a lousy patient, yet only Johnny takes his hand in the treatment room, letting him know he's not alone. At Rampart, a bit later, Dr. Early suggests that Johnny speaks with Tina but the squad gets called out only to be cancelled again. Unfortunately, the squad has some engine trouble and ends up in an undercover police operation where when the bad guys are arrested, the captain has chest pains and Roy and Johnny are to the rescue right at hand. At the hospital, Brackett and Tina talk and all seem to be well. Roy treats Johnny for lunch, finally, and is astonished to find out that even at 51, there are hamburgers for lunch. Bad timing then. The last call takes the station, and several others, at a freight yard where ammonia is involved and the other is carrying another equal poisonous gas. They all have to wear their masks and still save two people inside. It goes well. The next day, at Rampart, Johnny can finally sell his two tickets to Dixie and Dr. Early - until Dr. Brackett and Tina step in and want some as well, so Roy says Johnny's lucky number is 51 and well, no waterbed, hello Las Vegas. *grins* Some pics (and gif): So, that's about it. Might be a bit mixed up but well, I did my best. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Thanks. And today I couldn't stop laughing again. S06E13 An Ounce of Prevention Summary: The firemen assist a man with chest pains (and a young man who gets trapped trying to help him) while stuck on a ferris wheel. Roy & John are scheduled to appear on TV to discuss fire prevention, then help a child who swallowed parathion, and Dr. Brackett speaks with both parents about how their son got into the illegal pesticide, while Dixie treats a woman. During their TV appearance Roy and John become stars of a real-life emergency when a stagehand gets a electric shock from a live wire. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) Thoughts: Uff, where to begin. Chet teases Johnny with Henry and then Cap walks in, saying that Johnny and Roy will be part of the 'Tom Jensen Show' on TV. To Roy's shock it's revealed that Johnny walked down to the HQ and volunteered them for PR work. Ouch! The first call takes the station to some people stuck on a ferris wheel. A man has chest pains, his wife has gone into shock and a young man fell down, trying to help. While Johnny and Roy climb up, the engine crew coordinates the lifelines and all, bringing the people down. At Rampart, Drs. Early and Morton also discuss Johnny and Roy's upcoming appearance on TV and Morton notices that Roy seems to have stage freight. Never mind. Back at the station, Johnny and Roy test their performance with Marco and Chet as their cameras, and well, this whole thing should be hilarious but Cap finds no joke in it. Not good. The next call takes the squad only to a young boy who seems to have come in contact with pesticides. It takes the paramedics and the lab at Rampart to find the cause and Dr. Brackett berates the parents. And now comes the great show: First Roy and Johnny appear in their best uniforms with ties and in the show, the host mixes up Roy and Johnny's names, meaning Roy becomes Roy Gage and Johnny respectively John DeSoto. Yikes! Johnny is still caught while eating and Roy barely says anything. During their performance, there's always a breeze and they can't get the fire started which their crew find embarrassing, hence Cap turns away from the screen. Unfortunately, a guy working behind the scenes gets electroluted and the guys spring into action immediately while the cameras keep running. The engine 51 takes care of the fire while the squad one saves the guy. The next day, back at the station, Roy and Johnny are not happy with their appearance - until Cap comes in and says that their performance took more for PR than anything before and so they're asked to do it again. They haven't decided - yet. Some pics: I'm sure there are more but I don't wanna go hunting now. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Indeed. Again, I couldn't stop laughing. S06E14 Insanity Epidemic Summary: Capt. Stanley is unnerved that his former captain is now his Battalion Chief, and the station is concerned about his increasing paranoia. Chet tries to get Henry off the station couch into a doghouse. The carelessness of a gas station owner and attendant, as well as an angry driver leads to a fire. Dr. Brackett becomes increasingly angry at a new hospital administrator, constantly moving meetings around. A young wife accidentally shoots her older husband in the chest with a nail gun, while the doctors are treating him, Dixie prevents his young wife from seeing him. The firemen have to break up two clowns fighting at a ice rink and rescue two young girls whose car slid off the freeway and crashed into a truck loaded with pesticides. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) Captain Stanley is dismayed when he learns one of his former commanding captains is now his Battalion Chief, causing the others to worry about his increased paranoia. Two men's carelessness starts a fire at a gas station. A new hospital administrator causes problems. A woman accidentally shoots her husband with a nail gun. Two clowns start a fight at an ice rink. A car leaves an overpass and crashes into a transfer truck filled with pesticides. (taken from here now) Thoughts: We start with Chet trying to get Henry into a doghouse, and well, the others just watch amused - until the Captain comes in, saying that they have a new battalion chief, a former captain of his named McConnike and well, Cap reacts slightly nervous which his crew notice immediately. The first call takes the station to a gas station where an angry driver has gas spilled and soon enough, the owner brings all back to power which causes some problems for Marco who gets slight burns on his hands. Roy and Johnny immediately take care of him. At Rampart, they bring in their first patient, and Marco, while the hospital staff deals with new administration paperwork what is slowly making Dr. Brackett angry. Back at 51, Chet is again cleaning the floor while Cap is turning slowly mad. Roy and Johnny talk about it until the Chief appears for sure and the crew is mixing up their hats again. All wonder about their Cap's behavior. At an exercise, a hose broke and Chet gets a bit hurt and drenched, along with the Cap and Chief. Let's just say, Captain Stanley is not happy at all. The next call takes the squad to a couple whose young wife has hit her partner with a nail gun and straight to his peacemaker. Ouch! They can save him at Rampart where the discussion continues about the paperwork. While Chet works on Henry, the crew does so on Cap. The next one takes the station to an ice rink where two clowns have caused some havoc and continue so, involving the firemen and ambulance attendants. Cap just watches the show. Back at the station, Cap's paranoia increases and well, the crew seems helpless. The last call takes the station to a car crashed into a truck filled with pesticides. They use the Jaws to open the door of the truck and Johnny and Roy are working on freeing the two teenagers in the car. It works before all hell breaks loose. At 51, the guys still watch amused Chet and Henry and the battle about the doghouse and a bone while Cap almost seems to be normal. Almost. And as for Chet and Henry, the dog wins the battle! Notes: - Last appearance of Robert Pratt in the show (3rd time) - And directed by Randy 'Johnny' Mantooth Some pics: And some Gifs: That's it, I think. Mainly from Tumblr taken. Oh man, Cap was really close to lose it. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!
