Continuity mistake: While Ed is in the field with John and Roy, it's the three of them sitting in Squad 51 when they're en route to their destinations, but in some shots of the moving squad Ed is not seated between them, such as when they respond to the cliff rescue. Additionally, after the purse snatching incident, when they head to Rampart for John's hand injury, only one person's in the squad as it backs up to receiving, even though it should be three.

Continuity mistake: Gage and DeSoto arrive at the apartment complex, home to the guy trapped in the couch. They park the vehicle and walk on the gated balcony to the apartment. In the exterior shot, when they enter the doorway the inside wall to their left is bare and the corner of the balcony's iron gate is to the doorway's left. Next interior shot, now there is a large painting on that previously bare wall and the iron gate is directly in front of the door. When they leave, their vehicle is farther away, positioned differently.

Continuity mistake: When the paramedics and the rest of the firemen gather round the failed pacemaker patient, their positions change and in DeSoto's close-ups the Captain isn't seen (for the camera angle's sake), although in other shots he's right beside Gage. As an aside, note when Captain Stanley first first gets off the engine and trips in the background.
