Visible crew/equipment: When the boy who ingested ant poison is being wheeled into treatment 3, in the shot from the hallway we can see the electrical cord and plug lying across the floor, but in the next shot from inside treatment 3, that cord has vanished.

Visible crew/equipment: After Station 51 responds to the unknown type rescue, Engine 51 leaves on another run, but when Johnny and Roy go into the house with the wife of the man who lost his voice temporarily due to the dieffenbachia plant, the bulging outline of the lavalier mic transmitter and wire are visible on the back of her white robe.

Messin' Around - S3-E15

Visible crew/equipment: After Station 51 is dispatched to the bulldozer accident, just before Engine 51 comes to a stop at the junkyard there's a shot from the perspective of Engine 51's roof, with the Beacon Ray dome light in front, and on the light's red and chrome surface we can see the reflection of the camera mounted on the roof behind the dome light.

Trainee - S2-E8

Roy: I think you're on some sort of an ego trip, Ed. And in my book that makes you a very dangerous character.
Ed: [Laughs.] Ego trip, huh? Well, I didn't realize that psychiatry was part of the paramedic's training.
Roy: Oh that's good, Ed, you be funny. But that isn't gonna change anything. You wanna know what I figure? Well, I figure when you were working in Vietnam, it was rough. So rough you started playing over your head. And you were making it, you were doing real good. Considering it was a combat situation. And pretty soon you started getting all blown up about how Ed Marlowe is just as good as the real doctors. And you've been living on that ever since. And the trouble is, Ed, you are good. Except for two little problems. You can't quit competing with real doctors. And you can't face being wrong. You see, those people we treat out there, I mean the people we work for, the people who pay for this whole operation, they're real people, Ed, with real problems. And they have a right to expect more than just being used by you for some sort of trip. [Completely exasperated.] I guess what I'm trying to say to you, Ed, is that in my book you're just plain unprofessional.
[Ed walks out.]
John: Do you think it did any good?
Roy: Do you?

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.
