Emergency!

Paper Work - S6-E11

Continuity mistake: When John's in the storm drain with the boy, in the closeups the water rushing from the broken hydrant has a very strong current, and Roy's holding the boy's head up out of the water, but in the wide shots the current is nearly calm, nowhere as intense as the closeups, and Roy's not holding the boy's head.

Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy are with the boy who is stuck in the storm drain, note that the shoes both paramedics are wearing are flat bottom, dark grey, water-type shoes, and not their regular black uniform shoes. Then, when the boy is lying on the grass, Johnny's in his uniform shoes, though Roy is still in those water-type shoes.

Continuity mistake: When the car swerves to miss the dog and hits the fire hydrant, the area of ground around the front tire is bare, but in the closeup as the man and his son exit the car, that area is now covered in vegetation, enough to cover half the tire.

Continuity mistake: When the new supply nurse gives Roy the box of supplies, in his right hand Roy holds the receipt and supply box, and in his left hand is the handie-talkie, but in the closeup Roy holds the supply box with his left hand and a bag of saline in his right hand.

Breakdown - S6-E15

Charlie: I think you guys are playing games with me, and I don't like it.
Roy: Now, wait a minute. We're not playing games. We don't play games with the equipment...
Captain Stanley: Wait, hold on. C'mon everybody, look we're all on the same side here, aren't we?
Charlie: I wonder.
Captain Stanley: Charlie, why can't we put the squad in the shop and have us a reserve vehicle here?
Charlie: No, no, Hank. Not until I'm 100% sure that I can't fix it. If there's anything wrong with it. This coffee stinks. [Leaves the room.]
Captain Stanley: You guys playing some kind of joke on him?
John: We didn't make the coffee!
Captain Stanley: Not the coffee, you twit, the squad.
Roy: Cap, there's something wrong with that squad out there.
Captain Stanley: [sigh.] All right, if you say so... I made the coffee.

The Promise - S3-E11

Trivia: During Richard's rescue from the ledge at Rampart, the snorkel that Roy and Brackett climb onto is Truck 127, from Station 127 aka Station 51. Truck 127 is used in many episodes requiring a snorkel, including 1x6, "Dealer's Wild" and 3x16, "Fools." There's a particularly nice shot at the end of this episode, when Engine 51 and Squad 51 are parked parallel to each other, and when Johnny responds to dispatch that Squad 51 is available, Truck 127 drives away between 51's vehicles. Nice touch.

Question: Why is the driveway in front of the station always wet? Day or night, whenever they pull in or out it looks like it was just hosed down.

Answer: It is standard practice to wet down driveways so that they stand out in a long shot.
