Yeah, I know. Seen the original BG as well. S02E11 Musical Mania or Slow Poisoning (German) Summary: John takes up bagpipes after Chet jokes with him about playing the squad's horn. John and Roy treat a gardener suffering from tetanus, a driver of an ice cream truck trapped after a wreck, a girl who overdosed on barbiturates who later dies, a pilot of a glider who crashed, and free a man trapped under his house. Dixie and Dr. Early talk to a couple whose son is suffering from lead poisoning, later found to be also suffering from deprivation dwarfism, and the father refuses to treat his son with experimental growth hormones. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) A joke from Chet has Johnny determined to learn to play an instrument. A father refuses to have his son treated for lead poisoning believing it would be an act of charity, both Dixie and Dr. Early talk to him. Meanwhile, a gardener is stricken with tetanus, a girl is found unconscious due to drug intake, an ice cream truck driver is trapped by live power lines, a man is caught inside a crashed glider, and a man is trapped under his own house which has slipped off the jacks. (from here again) Thoughts: Roy repairs the squad's horn while Johnny tests it out, playing a melody, earning a comment from Chet to let him play maybe an instrument. Be careful what you ask for! The squad is first called out to a gardener who probably has tetanus which turns out to be right. Back at the station, Johnny first tries out bagpipes, getting on everyone's nerves, especially Chet's. Roy turns to him to have warned him about that comment. The next call is for the station with an ice cream truck driver stuck in his own vehicle with electricity. Once again back at 51, Johnny pleasures his colleagues with a trumpet. At Rampart, Dr. Early and Dixie treat a young boy who suffers from lead poisoning and also dwarfism. First the father refuses both treatments, yet after helping another father, he agrees. Then the guys are called out to a glider who doesn't want to be cut out (but needs to lose weight) and the last one is a man trapped under his own house. At first they try from underneath but fail with being unsteady. Then they go through the floor and Johnny goes under it, freeing the man but right on time. The minute they leave, the house crashes. And, as a last try to please his team mates, Johnny plays guitar, making everyone happy. Some pics: More than enough pics and I like especially the last one. See you tomorrow!

Yep, that was such a good scene at the end. S02E12 Helpful or Stress (German) Summary: Roy and his wife have a fight, and John offers his assistance, which makes the situation worse. During the rescue of a man whose car is hanging over a bridge, a new doctor, Dr. Varner's, erratic instructions and behavior concern Dixie. Dr. Varner later catches an atrial myxoma that Drs. Early and Brackett miss, but she is then found asleep in her car. Dixie finds out the reason for her behavior, and she begs Dr. Varner to talk to Dr. Brackett about it, but she chooses not to. The firemen assist a man who fell off a roof trying to get his dog down (then they rescue the dog), and they find two children lost in a rapidly flooding storm drain. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) John wants to help Roy and Joanne, when he makes the situation worse. A tired young doctor makes mistakes in her diagnosis and with judgment, which causes Dixie greater concerns. Dr. Varner later catches an atrial myxoma that Drs. Early and Brackett miss, but Dixie finds her asleep in the car, who also looks for reasons of Dr. Varner's behavior. The station responds to a call when a man drives off the side of an on ramp. A dog on a roof causes a man to fall off a ladder and into a rose bush. The station is called to rescue two young boys who are lost in a storm drain during a rain burst. (from here again) Thoughts: Well, Roy has gotten into a fight with his wife, Joanne but doesn't want to talk about, yet Johnny still wants to help, naturally. Then the station gets called out to rescue a man whose car hangs over the bridge. After they free him, the paramedics get an irritated instruction from the responding doctor, Dr. Varner, which they question but Dixie steps in. At Rampart, Dixie, Roy and John talk but Roy already has all information which annoys Johnny to no end. Back at the station, Johnny finds out that the fight was about spaghetti, especially Mike Stoker's spaghetti's recipe, and well, you might guess what follows. Dr. Varner then assists Drs. Early and Brackett with a patient and finds out what's missing, yet when many patients come in a bit later, she's missing. The squad is then called to save a man who fell from the ladder while rescuing his dog. As it turns out, the dog chased the cat and landed on the roof. The wife gently ask the firemen to rescue their dog from the roof - twice. Meanwhile at Rampart, Dixie finds out why Dr. Varner is working so hard, because she fled over the Iron Curtain and has to help her friends. Well, Dixie then turns to Dr. Brackett and gently asks him for help - for Dr. Varner which he does. The last rescue involves two kids who are lost in a storm drain, yet with the rain increasing, it also makes it difficult for the rescuers. Still, they manage, yet Johnny has some trouble coming up. Well, Johnny has given Mike's recipe to Joanne and as it turns out, she likes it but Roy doesn't want his friend to intervene, again. Oh boy! Some pics: So, I stop here again before it becomes too much. lol See you tomorrow!

That's great then. S02E13 Drivers or Stopped (German) Summary: John gets bugged by other people's bad driving habits. A college quarterback experiences back pain. Roy and John's former paramedic instructor dies, while Roy and John themselves teach a CPR class. A boy gets stuck inside a tree. A structure fire at a hotel is complicated by a cardiac victim on the third floor. — Anonymous (on IMDB) Thoughts: We start with Johnny complaining about insane drivers who decide to come out of nowhere when the firemen are on duty. Roy just listens, and then they are called to a college where the quarterback has back pain. Yet on their way, they were nearly rammed. At the college, the quarterback doesn't want to go to the hospital but he has no other choice. At Rampart they listen to a tape where another squad responded to a heart attack of the paramedics' former instructor. Meanwhile Roy and Johnny teach a class of elderly women to do CPR and not far away from them, a young boy is stuck in a tree, heads on. He wanted to see mini owls, yet the paramedics can't work without the parents' permission, so the officer does that. The two units, squad 51 and engine 69, meanwhile cut the tree to free the boy easier, yet it takes some time. Back at Rampart, they are informed that their instructor died. At 51, Johnny types a letter to the chief about the drivers and well, an officer is placed at their station - and he even suggests (back then) a camera for their vehicles (=dashcam)! Wow! At night, the station gets called to garbage first but then a hotel fire. Checking the floors, they find a cardiac patient who's been already treated by some neighbors and they take then over, bringing him down and to the hospital. A shift later, at the station, Johnny comes in annoyed and everyone wants to know why. The police officer helps here, because Johnny was caught speeding and intercepting a rescue. Talk about irony here. lol Some pics: Oh, another odd thing is the naming here instead of the usual: Engine 51 is here 51-1 and Squad 51 respectively 51-2. FYI! That's about it, I think. See you tomorrow!

You'll see later with the pics, I think. S02E14 School Days or Practical Test (German) Summary: John and Roy are breaking in a new trainee who lacks self-confidence in tight situations, including assisting an elderly man who was injured by a falling bookcase, an ambulance broadsided by a car, a boy injured in a chemistry lab accident at his home, a sleeping man with a "snake" on his chest, and a man injured and trapped in a junkyard. A man says to Dixie that a baseball player's wife was separated from him, and Dix asks them to find her. Dixie talks to the wife, whose husband is suffering from brain hemorrhage that was caused when he was beaned in a game while not wearing a batting helmet. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) Thoughts: Roy and Johnny have a new trainee, Billy who comes from a hospital. Their first call is to a professor whose bookcase fell on him and his maid is really nervous, making everyone too, almost. Roy and Billy work together on the man while Johnny gets the datas to Rampart, yet Billy gets nervous when something is out of order for him. After a stop at Rampart, the next one goes to an ambulance which got hit by a car. Now Johnny and Billy work together while Roy helps his firemen colleagues outside. For some time, Billy works alone and manages some confidence back in there. At the station, Roy and Johnny talk about and with him but it hasn't clicked yet. A new call brings them to a young boy who experimented with his science lab and caused an explosion but his secret he only wants to share with the firemen. Then on the way back they are called to a man with a 'snake' on his belly which turns out to be plastic. At Rampart, a baseball player is hurt during the game but he and his wife are separated as it is there's a brain damage. Their last call is to a junkyard where a man is injured and trapped among cars. Now Billy works completely alone while the boys look on and Chet once again proves to be a crane driver. Back to the station, with Johnny on the wheel (!!!), Roy says that every day is a school day and Johnny answers promptly, "Yes, Mr. Teacher." lol Some pics: More than enough pics and even in the right order, I hope. See you tomorrow!

Ah, I see. Since you're a Star Trek 'addict', you'd know. S02E15 The Professor or In Difficulties (German) Summary: A professor working with the Secret Service is experiencing symptoms of schizophrenia and Dr. Brackett resents the interference of the government agents in the professor's care, where the professor's wife talks to Dixie, whose husband was brought over to the hospital, for a physical examination. Roy has an admirer calling him everywhere, despite Johnny saying to both Dixie and Dr. Early, his partner has no "charisma", and needles him relentlessly about it. Between the phone calls, the firemen assist a plane crash victim, deliver a premature baby, and help prevent a suicidal man from jumping off a building under construction. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) A man acting schizophrenic arrives at Rampart being escorted by the secret service who won't reveal any information about the patient to Dr. Brackett, while the professor's wife talks to Dixie, whose husband was brought over to the hospital, for a physical examination. The station is called out to rescue a despondent young man who is threatening to jump off a building under construction. The guys take a boat ride to a remote island to rescue a man who's light plane crashed there. Johnny accuses Roy of having no charisma after a woman shows him some attention, this also leads Johnny into saying the exact same thing to Dixie and Dr. Early. (taken from here again) Thoughts: The squad gets called out to a house where a professor seems to have gone nuts. He threatens anyone and soon Johnny and Roy have their hands full, quite literally. Yet with bringing the man to Rampart, the problem goes over to Drs. Brackett and Early - and men in plain clothes. Back at the station, Chet lets Roy know he has a phone call from an admirer which gets Johnny's attention quite naturally. He quite can't believe it since Roy is a married man and so both have a minor dispute. Their next call brings them to a maybe water rescue with 110 but then its directed to plane crash close by. At Rampart, Dr. Brackett has his hands full with the diagnosis and the government guys, and Johnny has found a new nurse but Roy beats him to her. Going to the nurse's station, Johnny brings this up with Dixie and Dr. Early, yet even there Roy gets a call from Susan St. John, his admirer who he only saved when John was sick. Before that, they got a call to a pregnant woman whose baby is a bit early, yet Johnny has a great idea while using a drawer with a blanket, two hot-water bottles and some oxygen to keep the baby breathing and alive what even Dr. Early approves. Meanwhile, Dixie has a talk with the professor's wife and find out what's causing the problem. And so the professor can go to Geneva. The last call brings the station to a suicidal rich man. At first Roy tries it, then Johnny and at least Chet who distracts the man, so Johnny and Roy can save the man from above. As for Roy and his admirer, they broke up. Some pics: A bit mixed up to the end but I kinda saw it too late. Oops! See you tomorrow!
