Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny are searching the sheriff's trunk and find the slings, swami belts and carabiners, Johnny takes hold of the green sling, but next shot it's suddenly swung diagonally around his neck and arm.
Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny are climbing to get to the injured climbers, once Roy reaches the boys he goes off belay in the closeup, but in the long shots (with the stunt guys) Roy is still locked off on the rope, and then we hear Roy say, "Johnny, give me a little more slack," though in the closeup he's not even attached.
Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny are on the Coast Guard helicopter, responding to The Boat wreck with injuries off Catalina, there are a few interior shots of them that are flipped, while they're looking out the windows. The paramedic patches are on their left sleeves, but in the flipped shots the paramedic patches are on their right sleeves.
Continuity mistake: During the warehouse fire, Johnny removes his turnout when Captain Stanley calls for the ambulance, then when the ambulance arrives John's wearing the turnout and one burn victim has the sheet over him, but then the turnout and sheet vanish, and as the ambulance attendants bring the stretcher, Johnny places the sheet on the victim, and in the overhead shot as Cap is told about Willy, Johnny's wearing his turnout again. The Biophone also keeps jumping from being beside Squad 51 to being between the victims.
Continuity mistake: When Johnny is doing overtime with Engine 8, dispatch sends the two guys of Squad 8 on an unknown type rescue and they leave Station 8, but when Johnny and Captain Stone walk back into the kitchen, Squad 8 is still parked in the apparatus bay.
Continuity mistake: When Johnny is being examined by Dr. Early and Dr. Morton, Roy is in the treatment room with them, and he's not wearing a watch, but when Roy steps into the hallway and speaks to Chet he's suddenly wearing a watch.
Continuity mistake: During the fire at the chemical plant, the distinctively marked SCBA tanks that Captain Stanley, Johnny and Roy are wearing, when they're searching for the missing man, change when they're inside and then finally exit. Note the different stickers, or lack of stickers, on their tanks.
Continuity mistake: When Station 51 is at the scene of the oil well eruption, underneath a house which was built atop an abandoned oil field, just after Johnny tells Roy that he thinks the whole foundation is slipping, it cuts to a shot of the front porch as one of the porch columns (and part of another) breaks and falls. However, when the guys finally free the trapped man and carry him out, all the columns are upright once again.
Continuity mistake: When the deaf woman is lying on the sidewalk having contractions, Johnny and Roy carry the pregnant woman on a cot into the market, and in the closeup of her face she is still lying on the sidewalk outside.
Continuity mistake: When Squad 51 is dispatched to a "man locked in a safe", at 1817 South Maplemoor, after the escape artist lets himself out of the safe, when Roy and Johnny head back to the squad the house address reads 4017.
Continuity mistake: In "The Thing and I": After the kids have found Hugo in the attic, when Marge and Homer return home, both front door knobs (inside and outside) do not have backplates, but once Hugo escapes both door knobs have backplates. The two backplates vanish and reappear repeatedly in following shots. It's funny because when they leave to search for Hugo, Homer shuts the door with no backplates, but then Bart uses a key in the backplate to lock The Front door.
Continuity mistake: When Roy tells Johnny to call Barbara, who heard something that he didn't even say at the movies, in the view from the kitchen Engine 51 is not in the apparatus bay which means everyone else is on a run, but when dispatch drops tones we hear Captain Stanley respond KMG365, and then see the engine parked in the bay.
Continuity mistake: At the refinery fire, when Johnny and Roy are on the tower with the collapsed worker, Roy throws the line down to Truck 127's Snorkel for their gear, and as Roy pulls it up, the gear is tied up quite differently depending on the angle of the shot.
Continuity mistake: When Kent (Bobby Sherman) is ready to leave Station 51, the guys are about to sit down to dinner and the table is full of food, plates, cups, utensils, etc, but when the tones drop for the refinery fire and everyone rushes into the apparatus bay, the table is seen behind them and it's bare. Also, the order in which the guys run out of the kitchen is completely different, depending on the angle of the shot.
Continuity mistake: When Dixie has her hand caught in the coffee dispensing machine, Roy gets it free, and when she pulls her hand out all of her nails on that hand are very short in the closeup, but in following shots her nails are quite long, as usual.
Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy are on the "child locked in a bathroom" run, Johnny makes a hasty retreat leaving Roy to deal with the "child." The bar of soap Roy uses is on a curved pedestal soap dish, and that dish is either curved towards the wall, or turned the opposite way, depending on the camera angle.
Continuity mistake: When the victims are loaded onto the second ambulance with Roy, after the original ambulance was hit by the car, we can see the license plate, Z99977, as Johnny closes the back doors. Then while en route to Rampart, the ambulance's make/model changes with plate, Z99953, then the make/model changes yet again, but still has the same plate, Z99953.
Continuity mistake: When Station 51 is on site at the major chemical leak, Roy and Johnny are wearing SCBA tanks that have distinctive markings/stickers, and their tanks change while they search, locate and rescue the worker.
Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy are in the basket with the man who was electrocuted by a power line, they are atop three more power lines. Chet and Mike cut the two outer lines and only the center line remains, but in the closeup of the basket there are still three power lines under the basket.
Continuity mistake: After Dr. Early fixes the squad's engine problem, while Roy is driving we see a two-way radio mounted at the top of the dashboard, just past the steering wheel. When the dispatcher calls on Squad 51 to respond, there's a closeup of the Motorola two-way radio/Interceptor units which are mounted under the dash (near gas pedal), and Johnny lifts this mic, but then we see that he's speaking on the mic from the top of the dash. Additionally, in those two closeups of the two-way radio, we can see the gas pedal, but Roy's foot is nowhere to be seen, even though the squad has been moving all along.
