Story: Station 51 is called up to fight an
out-of-control brushfire. An elderly woman breaks her ankle, a man injured by a horse
stampede, a looter is injured in a motorcycle accident, a boy breaks his arm and loses his
dog, and a fireman is trapped and injured under a fallen tree. The fire also threatens the
house of a pregnant woman in labor who can’t be moved.
Goofs: (1) How does Roy
get a blood pressure of 75 over 45 when examining the woman
with dehydration? Does his gauge read odd numbers? (2) When
the squad and engine are responding, the squad gets switched. It is an older squad in
place of the newer one. (3) Chet cuts his hand on a broken glass and
Johnny tells him to run it under water. Chet comments, "Five months training as a
paramedic, and he tells me to run it under water." According to the show, doesn't
paramedic training take three months?
