Paper Work - S6-E11
Other mistake: After 51 rescues the boy who was stuck in the storm drain and is brought to the ER, Brackett uses the laryngoscope for endotracheal intubation, but the problem is we can see when Brackett cups his left hand, he merely places the distal end of the laryngoscope over the top of his hand, not actually down into the boy's mouth.

Paper Work - S6-E11
Other mistake: When the foreman and secretary are rescued at the warehouse fire, two shots after we see the foreman climbing down the ladder, there's a shot of the grey steel drums marked 'acetone' with two lying on their sides on a wood pallet, while the guys hose down the fire. What's funny is that in the next shot there's a disposable plastic cup that has suddenly appeared on that pallet. Obviously while shooting the different takes one of the actors or crew members left their cup on the pallet before they resumed filming.
9th Jul 2014
Other mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the "freeway accident," as the engine and squad roll out of the apparatus bay, we can see the real 127's vehicle still parked in the bay, near the rear door.
9th Jul 2014
Fair Fight - S6-E5
Other mistake: Squad 51 is dispatched to the fighting couple three different times, and we hear the dispatcher give the address cross street as "Valleyheart," but all three times the subtitles read, "Valley Park." Subtitles from Universal Studios 2010 DVD.
9th Jul 2014
Other mistake: When the self defense instructor tries to use Mrs. Pestone to demonstrate the flip, he puts his arm around her and covers her mouth, then it cuts to a shot of Squad 51 rushing down a street. This particular shot is from 5x8, "The Lighter-Than-Air Man," when Roy drives past the school kids and crossing guard.
9th Jul 2014
Other mistake: During the singles club fire, after Johnny and Roy check the men's room upstairs, there's a shot of firemen in full turnout gear with hoses, and this footage is from the first season's pilot episode, "The Wedsworth-Townsend Act."
9th Jul 2014
Other mistake: During the actual cliff rescue of the hang gliding accident victims, Roy and John are wearing hiking-type shoes with ridges on the soles, not their uniform shoes.

It's How You Play the Game - S4-E19
Other mistake: After Chet says that he doesn't like when people expect too much of him, Squad 51 is dispatched to "man bit by an animal," and when Roy gets into the squad the highly reflective chrome spotlight has been sprayed with a dulling spray, to temporarily dull the surface.
1st Jul 2014
Other mistake: When Squad 51 is dispatched to an 'unknown type rescue', as the squad rolls out we can see the Crown engine from the show's first two seasons parked in the apparatus bay, instead of 51's current Ward LaFrance.
1st Jul 2014
Other mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the landslide, the engine company get into their turnouts and roll out, but in the next exterior shot as the engine drives past the camera, not only are the guys not in their turnouts, it's too obvious that none are 51's guys, and the one in Chet's jumpseat even leans forward. Presumably they're 127's guys. Also the light bar on the squad and the rotating light on the truck are not on.
1st Jul 2014
Other mistake: When Station 51 is on scene at the landslide, there's a dresser on the grass in front of the house, and when the explosion occurs due to the broken gas main, in the closeups as Johnny dives to the ground there's what looks like a can of gasoline (used for the stunt perhaps) atop that dresser that wasn't there before, and it's also not in the wide shots as Johnny dives down.
1st Jul 2014
Other mistake: After Brackett tries unsuccessfully to get O'Brien on the line to ask about the fish tank, it cuts to an exterior shot of Station 51, and we hear the dispatcher say, "All units responding with Engine 3 cancel," but subtitles read, "Four units with Engine 3 cancelled." Subtitles from Universal Studios 2010 DVD.
1st Jul 2014
Other mistake: When the man injured in the manhole is brought to treatment 6, Early tells Roy to patch him up for an EKG, but the subtitles read, "Patch one from the EKG," and then Early tells the x-ray technician to do a skull and chest series, but the subtitles read, "Skull and chest searches." Subtitles from Universal Studios 2010 DVD.
1st Jul 2014
Other mistake: On scene at the traffic accident, when the woman and the boy with non-serious injuries are seated at the back of the ambulance, neither Roy or Johnny are going along with them to Rampart, yet Johnny puts the drug box inside the back of the ambulance with them, and the ambulance drives off. With their drug box! Captain Stanley even says that he'll advise dispatch that they're available for a run at the scene, while the guys will be looking for the dog.
28th Jun 2014
Other mistake: During the fire at Hammond Chemical, when Engine 7 rolls up and lays duals, we can see the vinyl material adhered to the top of the cab covering the engine company's real number.
28th Jun 2014
Paper Work - S6-E11
Other mistake: When Marco is taking inventory of what's in the refrigerator, the containers on the door have their brand names covered.
28th Jun 2014
Captain Hook - S6-E8
Other mistake: When John, Roy, and Chet are standing near the stove talking about how much they enjoyed Hookrader's party, there's a can of cleaning powder which has tape swirled around the can to hide the recognizable design and its brand name, which is Ajax.
24th Jun 2014
Other mistake: After Station 51 is dispatched to the structure fire, just as Roy and Johnny start heading upstairs we see footage from 4x3, "Gossip," when Johnny brings the hose to the stairs at the chemical fire, but the line doesn't reach so he leaves the hose at the bottom step, and they continue up.
24th Jun 2014
Other mistake: During the structure fire, when Engine 98 rolls up we can see the large red vinyl adhered to the top of the engine's cab. Then, when Truck 106 rolls up we see its company number 106 on the door, but in the overhead shot we can see the number 8 on the roof of the cab, not 106. This presumably means that the door has one of the prop dept's magnetic decals imprinted with 106, and the roof still shows the Truck company's real number.

Camera Bug - S4-E10
Other mistake: While Roy and John are at 68's, Roy goes to the stove to see what Bob was cooking when he started having pain, and the closeup footage we see of the pot of bubbling chilli is the same as some of the footage of Chet's chilli in 4x1, "The Screenwriter," when 'Miss October' stops by the station.
