Visible crew/equipment: When Johnny and Roy help Cora crawl along the ladder from the cactus patch located in a secluded area, just as Johnny tells her to take it nice and slow, the camera moves a bit too far to the left and then shifts back to the right, but not before we are able to see a crew member, equipment and a large patio-style umbrella.

Visible crew/equipment: When deciding how to rescue Cora from the middle of the cactus patch, Mike parks Engine 51 at the side of the road, beside the hill with the cactus. During the rescue there are closeups of Cora's husband standing beside Engine 51, and we see other things reflected on the engine instead of just the side of the hill. Additionally, his position in the closeups differs from where he stands in the wideshots.

Visible crew/equipment: While Roy is hanging off the side of the building with the second victim, Johnny's trying to tie off the swaying sign, then after he asks for some slack the second time, there's an overhead shot from the roof, and we can see the shadow of the camera and a bit of a crew member, at the bottom of the screen. Then a few shots later, from the same POV, we still see the camera's shadow, and we also see the leg of a crew member (white sneaker and dark pants) walk into the shot and back out, at the left of the screen.

Visible crew/equipment: At the scene of the swaying sign accident, when Roy and Johnny get the gear out of the squad the outlines of the mic transmitters are visible on the left side of Johnny's shirt and right side of Roy's. Once they're on the roof both of the mic transmitters' outlines are on the right sides of their shirts, and later when Roy and Gil are pulled up onto the roof, the bulging outline is visible again at Roy's right side.

Revealing mistake: At the apartment complex fire, after Johnny is knocked unconscious by the explosion, when the Pasadena fireman finds him and has to lift him up, it's funny how even though Johnny's unconscious we can see that he actually helps to stand himself up, so the fireman can lift him up and carry him out.

Trivia: A plaque that honors Bob Cinader is mounted on Station 127's wall, outside beside the apparatus bay door. The plaque reads: "Robert A. Cinader's Involvement with the Los Angeles County Fire Department began in 1971 when he filmed a pilot television movie about the county's fledgling paramedic program."Emergency!" aired in 1972 and ran as a prime time show for five years with a weekly audience of 13 million people. The show brought attention and acclaim to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. More importantly, it showed public officials across the nation that lives could be saved by local paramedic programs. As a result, Bob Cinader can be credited for making significant contributions to improving Emergency Medical Services. His Involvement and commitment was so intense, and his study of emergency services so thorough, he became an expert in the field. In 1975, he was appointed to the county's Emergency Medical Services Commission, where he served until his death in 1982. In recognition of his extraordinary public service, on May 28,1985, the board of supervisors voted unanimously to pay special tribute to Bob Cinader by naming Fire Station 127 in Carson, which was used in the filming of "Emergency!", in his honor." Fire Station 127 is named the Robert A. Cinader Memorial Fire Station.
