Then he lifts his left hand when the attendant removes the blanket.

Trivia: After Brackett asks Dix if she'd like to go to lunch, it cuts to a shot of Johnny balancing himself above Roy, between the engine and squad, while snapping Roy's picture, and when Johnny jumps down right beside Roy's head, Roy quickly flinches back and Johnny giggles an apology. Later, after Johnny snaps Captain Stanley's picture, Cap tells John, "You blinded me you twit," and when Johnny removes the camera from around his neck he smacks the camera right into Roy's face, and Johnny gently pats Roy's head. Good unscripted moments between Roy and John. (00:21:45 - 00:41:10)

Revealing mistake: After rescuing the burn victim from The Boat's explosion, Johnny and Roy are at the back of the camper with the victim, while the victim's wife drives the camper to the clinic, but when they arrive at the clinic the camper hasn't even stopped yet, and we can see the woman's legs at the side of the camper, waiting for her cue to come rushing to the camper's rear door when her husband is brought out.

Paper Work - S6-E11
Revealing mistake: At the start of the episode, when the camera zooms in on the words 'Los Angeles County Fire Station 51' which are attached to the side of the building, we can see that this shot is actually played in reverse - notice the cars/trucks behind the station are driving backwards. Additionally, note that the real 127's rig is seen in the driveway to the right. Also interesting to notice are the upper/lower metal bars which are attached to the bricks, where we can see the bars are much longer after 'Station 51', with a space for something missing, due to the fact that is was made to hold '127' on it.

Emergency! (1972)
Continuity mistake: When John and Roy walk into the house with the pregnant gunshot victim, only John's wearing a helmet and he places it on the floor near the victim's husband, but in all of John's closeups (from the unusual POV looking up at him) his helmet is on the counter. Additionally, there are blue glasses upside-down on the side of the dish drainer, but in those closeups of John the glasses have vanished, and the glasses vanish again when Roy helps the husband get on his feet. Also notice that there's now a blue glass in the sink.

Emergency! (1972)
Continuity mistake: There are only two ambulance attendants who take the pregnant gunshot victim to the vehicle, but en route we see two attendants in the front seat - driver and passenger, and a third attendant is in the back with John and the victim. Then when they reach Rampart, the attendant that was in the back with John has vanished and he's the one who opens the back door from the outside. As an aside, in the ambulance, when John talks to Rampart about fetal heart tones, we see the attendant is actually mucking around with the IV drip.
