Visible crew/equipment: When Station 51 is dispatched to the man who's ill on the ferris wheel, just as Engine 51 rolls out of the apparatus bay, in the closeup we see the reflection of the array lighting and the reflector screen on the side of the engine.
Audio problem: When the guys reach the top of the tower ride at Oceanland Park, we hear Captain Stanley say, "Kelly, you go up on top and throw the tag line over the side, we'll take the stokes up that way," but Cap's mouth is saying something entirely different.
Visible crew/equipment: When Charlie's at the station, complaining that every time one of the squads breaks down it's only crying out for mercy against the drivers, and that firemen are the worst thing to happen to the squads, we can see the reflection of the boom mic on the windshield of Squad 51.
Visible crew/equipment: When Charlie stops at the station to service Engine 51, while Roy and John are trying to service the squad, the multiple reflections of location array lighting are visible on Charlie's squad, and on Squad 51's spotlight.
Visible crew/equipment: At the house fire, when Chet finds the teenagers in the attic, just after Marco climbs in through the window, we can see the moving shadow of filming equipment (looks like the boom) by the stool.
Other mistake: Before the fire in the patient's room, which is caused by liquid shorting out the clock radio, we can see the tape covering the brand names of the baby powder and the clock radio.
Visible crew/equipment: When the guy walks into the ER with the white phosphorous burn, the outline of the lavalier mic transmitter is visible on the back of Dixie's uniform.
Revealing mistake: While the guys are eating chilli at the table, when Station 51 is dispatched to 'man down', notice that when they're at the scene, both paramedics are wearing their jackets and Johnny is wearing his helmet. We never see Johnny's face in any of the wide shots, because the entire time it's the double with Roy. We only see Johnny alone in a few closeups, pickup shots which were filmed later, and we can see the style of the houses in the closeups do not resemble the houses in the other shots. The real Johnny is back, once they reach the hospital.
Visible crew/equipment: When 51's guys are at their practice game, the gymnast is injured and the outline of the mic transmitter is visible on the back of Johnny's T-shirt.(00:16:40)
Continuity mistake: At start of episode, when Captain Stanley walks in announcing the upcoming game against 16, the paper he's holding changes hands between shots. Then after Cap sits down, the paper again changes hands between shots. Also notice that after Chet finds Henry's bone behind him in the couch, he gives it to Henry then puts it back behind him again, then gives it to Henry once again.
Revealing mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the gas explosion at the cafeteria, during the actual rescue the four firemen we see in closeup in the cafeteria are supposed to be Roy, Johnny, Chet, and Marco, but it's really odd that all are the doubles, very obvious in the closeups. There's little dialogue during this scene, which was dubbed later in ADR.
Continuity mistake: When Captain Stanley is writing on the board about the practice game at 9:00 am on Thursday, the board was clean before he started writing, then the board is dirty, and by the time he walks away the board is clean around what Cap just wrote, and his handwriting and its position on the board have changed as well.
Revealing mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to a man trapped at World Picture Corp, just as they reach the entrance to World Picture Corp, the Sheraton-Universal is seen on the corner, and the street sign for touring Universal Studios is visible as well.(00:19:45)
Revealing mistake: On the way to the basketball game against 16, when all the guys are pushing Chet's station wagon down the street, it's Kevin Tighe's double who is pushing the car, and he looks nothing like Kevin.
Visible crew/equipment: After winning the semi-finals basketball game against 16, when Captain Stanley, John and Roy walk into the kitchen, Roy and Cap stand near the stove, and two tape marks are visible on the floor.
Continuity mistake: After winning the semi-finals basketball game, when Chet walks into the kitchen Roy places a glass of milk on the table in front of Chet, which vanishes in Chet's closeups.
Visible crew/equipment: At World Picture Corp, after the rescue of the guy with the broken clavicle trapped up on the joists, Morton tells Roy to transport the patient as soon as possible. It cuts to a shot of Squad 51 following the ambulance to ER receiving, and as they drive through the underpass, it's from the POV of inside the squad. Some location lighting becomes visible on the right side, and the reflection of the cameraman's legs are visible on the windshield, as he's seated in the passenger seat. We know that one of the paramedics is in the ambulance, so there should only be a driver in the squad.
Continuity mistake: During the basketball game against 16, when Chet is finally in The Game at halftime, 51's side of the court is at the right of the screen, but in the closeups of Chet's shot going into the hoop - scoring, we can tell by the wall and backboard that a bunch of his baskets are actually going into the hoop on the other side of the court, behind him.
Continuity mistake: During the basketball game against 16, after the ref tell John that he can't call timeout unless they have the ball, Marco passes to Mike, who passes it to Johnny. When 16 gets the ball the blonde player with blue wristbands shoots, but in the closeup it's a brunette without wristbands who scores the basket. Plus the fact that in the closeup the basket he scores in is the one on the other side of the court, and the next few closeups of 16 scoring baskets are in the opposing team's basket, on the other side of the court.
Continuity mistake: After Roy injures his ankle, when Captain Stanley tells Chet that he's replacing Roy, John squirts Cap with the water bottle soaking the front of his shorts, but when they get up to resume The Game Captain Stanley's shorts are completely dry.
