Trainee - S2-E8

Roy: [Looks sternly at Ed, the paramedic trainee.] Now you listen to me. You're not in 'Nam and you're not a doctor, and if you don't get your head squared away, you're not gonna be a paramedic either.
Ed: Is that a threat?
Roy: You bet it is.

Gossip - S4-E3

Ann: I didn't mean any harm.
Dixie: No, of course not... All you've been doing is telling people that Dr. Morton is deeply in debt.
Ann: I didn't say that was a certainty. I said there was a possibility of it.
Dixie: You've discussed it with patients, which is unforgivable. And after I specifically told you it was none of your business. How long have you been a nurse?
Ann: Six years.
Dixie: Then you ought to know that you hear things and see things about doctors, and patients, that are very personal and confidential, and you just don't go around repeating them, because you can do harm. And I'm telling you to cut it out right now.
Ann: I think I can talk about whatever I want.
Dixie: No you can't! Not here. Not while you're working for me. I won't tolerate it. Got it?

Show Biz - S2-E3

Other mistake: When Squad 51 is on scene at the drowning incident, the victim's wife is wearing very unusual rings. One ring has a jumbo orange ball, another has a large cluster of small gold balls, and the third has large black and white pearls. Later, when the models are at the station they are wearing identical rings as seen in the previous scene, Suzanne is wearing two of the prop rings and Kathy is wearing the pearl ring.

Decision - S2-E1

Other mistake: After rescuing the boy and his dog from the structure fire, when both of 51's rigs are backing up the driveway, the office door opens and we can see through the glass door that someone is standing there, even though they're all on the rigs. Next shot, that phantom individual has vanished.

Dilemma - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: After being dispatched to "industrial accident at railroad yard," once they rescue the man from the train car carrying trichlorethylene, when Roy and John are standing beside Engine 51 we can see the empty red disc on the side of the engine covering the real engine company number (127), as well as the American flag sticker on the windshield. Earlier, when they were dispatched, there's no disc or sticker in the closeup of Engine 51 (played by Engine 60).

Decision - S2-E1

Visible crew/equipment: During the structure fire, after Roy finds the boy and his dog under the bed, when Roy heads down the stairs and then rushes back up, as he gets to the top of the stairs when the camera pans to the left we can see the barndoor set lighting, at the top left side of the screen.

Dealer's Wild - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: At the scene of the traffic accident, after removing the injured driver from the overturned tanker, when Roy gets the Biophone from the squad and John runs over to the ambulance stretcher, notice the red rectangular material adhered to the front of Engine 51's cab. We know that Engine 51 does not have a license plate on the front of its cab, and during this scene Engine 51 is being played by the real Engine 127, whose license plate is at the front of its cab.

Dealer's Wild - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Roy brings the injured tanker driver into the ER, the attendants wheel the stretcher down the hallway passing treatment 3, and after Roy asks Brackett and Early a pointed question about the trucker's condition, the doctors also walk down the hallway passing treatment 3, in the direction of the nurses' station. But then we see that Early and Brackett are with the patient in treatment 3, which is right beside the ER's receiving entrance.

Brushfire - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Station 51 is being dispatched to the brush fire, there's black tape on the chrome trim of the squad's lightbar, but when Squad 51 arrives on scene the black tape has vanished. Then later at Rampart, after Brackett calls Roy a hose jockey, the black tape is back, but vanishes again when they rescue the injured looter.

Cook's Tour - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: While Early is trying to remove a young boy's hand from a vase, in the shot from inside the room he's in treatment 3 with a windowless door, but when he steps into the hallway and asks Sharon for ice cubes he's at treatment 5 with a window on the door.

Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Evans complains to Dixie that she's been waiting two hours to have her cigarette burn taken care of, in her closeups her handbag strap is over her shoulder, but in wide shots her handbag is hanging from her arm.

Botulism - S1-E3

Visible crew/equipment: On site at the construction accident with the back injury victim, when Roy climbs over the tower's railing we can see the yellow canvas strap attached through the leather loop of his lifebelt, but when he descends to the injured victim, the yellow canvas strap is now also attached to a carabiner protruding from under his turnout coat, by his pants, which presumably is attached to additional hidden support.

Dealer's Wild - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: After Station 51 is dispatched to "traffic accident with injuries," when they're on scene at the plant with the injured tanker driver, pay particular attention to the background behind Engine 51 while Roy is on the Biophone with Rampart. When Brackett says, "51, can you give me any more information," we can actually see Station 51 aka 127, directly behind Roy.

School Days - S2-E14

Revealing mistake: While 51's on scene at the traffic accident involving a car that broadsided an ambulance, when Chet opens the back door of the overturned ambulance the license plate reads "99923U" but the "U" is lopsided and pushed to the edge of the plate, which makes it obvious that it's a magnetized letter. It's positioned properly in following shots.

The Professor - S2-E15

Visible crew/equipment: When Roy and Johnny are driving in the squad, while discussing Roy's last phone call from Susan, Johnny's lack of tact, etc., and particularly as they're being dispatched to the "possible maternity case," in every shot facing Johnny pay attention to the window behind the guys, because we can see a crew member's right hand, wearing a ring, who's holding a rope while he's riding on the back of the squad.

Back-Up - S4-E21

Other mistake: After Roy and Johnny leave Wild Bill's apartment because he faked his injury, there's an overhead exterior shot of what is supposed to be Rampart, but it's not actually Rampart. Throughout the entire run of this series there are numerous exterior shots of Rampart from every angle.
