ANNOUNCER: Here are some scenes from part 1.

Both in acute pain.

What about Dixie?

Third patient, female, approximately 30.

Unconscious, probable concussion.

DOCTOR [ON RADIO]: Don't treat 'em.

These people are in pain and Dixie can't wait.

DOCTOR [ON RADIO]: Don't treat 'em.

A nurse is on the way.

That's an order.

To hell with the orders.

You could've sat with them-- on them,

if necessary-- until help came.

We couldn't be sure that there was time to wait.

[music playing]

Girdle.

I can't-- I can't breathe.

Girdle?

[yelling]

Chet, why don't you just give up on that doghouse?

No.

Harry, uh-uh.

[growling]

ANNOUNCER: And now part 2.

Looking back on my ill-spent youth,

I can't decide which was more important-- being a fireman,

or being a paramedic.

That's easy when you do them both,

which is most of the time.

Like that paint factory fire?

2 two and a halfs, boys.

Right.

Engine 51, I want a second alarm here.

I've got a two-story paint factory well involved.

Report to phone.

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: Station 51.

Battalion 14 to receive--

Truck 86, set up on the north side and protect the exposure.

Engine 2 to Truck 86.

[boom]

Set up your monitor to sweep the soft exposure.

Yes, sir.

[yelling]

And watch out for more exposure.

I better get over there.

Any casualties, Cap?

Not a one.

Everybody was clear when that truck blew.

Look, see if you can give Chet and Marco

a hand, all right, John?

All right.

Looks like the center line broke

and the whole place exploded.

Where's Mike?

Everybody got out.

Now just relax.

Ambulance will be here any minute.

JOHN: I never was too fond of chemical fires.

Gasoline fires are no thrill, either.

Or the plane crash?

Remember that one?

[emergency siren buzzing]

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: Station 51,

Station 49, Engine 23, Battalion 14, plane in trouble

at Morgan Field.

Morgan Field, time up, 1702.

CAPTAIN: Station 51, KMG365.

[sirens blaring]

Here he comes.

[yelling]

He's overshot the runway!

[yelling]

CAPTAIN: All units, Engine 51.

He's overshot the runway.

Let's go.

[sirens blaring]

[music playing]

Engines 23 and 49, Engine 51.

Come into our location and set up lines.

LA, Engine 51.

We have a fire in a downed aircraft

at Encino and El Dorado.

Send me a second alarm.

We're starting evacuation.

Squad 51, start evacuating that bus immediately.

Estimate casualties 10 to 12.

We can use three ambulances.

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: 10-4, Engine 51.

CAPTAIN: Kelly, take an inch and a half.

Work your way through the fuselage

and around the starboard wing, if you can.

Move to the front of the bus for me, all right?

Just relax in there.

We're gonna be right in there to get you out.

- Want the bar? - Yeah.

I got about 10 kids in there and the driver.

We're gonna have to bust our way through this window.

Make it fast.

There's a fire in the bus and the plane's leaking fuel.

Cap, check out those wrecked vehicles for occupants

up there, will you?

Let's try the ejacs, too, on this.

All right.

Johnny, I'll just hand them out to you.

- All right. - OK.

Does anybody here have-- any of you

kids have any serious injuries?

Can you all make it out the window here?

All right.

Let's go one at a time.

Listen, we're going to try to cut you guys out of here.

Can you-- can you get a hold of him

and pull him away from the window?

Hooked up?

Yeah.

All right.

Good going.

All right. Here.

Just walk them over there, all right?

Just lay across the shoulder.

Atta boy.

All right.

Just lay across the shoulder.

There we go.

There we go.

Atta girl.

There we go.

Run along over there.

Got her?

Now let's go help the driver up there.

Looks like they might need some help.

OK. All right.

She's alive.

Let me get this strap.

Yeah.

K. You're OK.

Help him on his--

Right.

Got him? Wait.

Wait.

He's caught.

Can we have a hand over here?

Got a bad laceration.

Come on.

We gotta get out of here.

I got his feet.

- You got him? - Yeah.

- You guys got him? - Slow now.

OK.

Ready?

- Yeah. - We're gonna go straight left.

Yeah, we're gonna need help in here getting her out.

Get his legs.

Watch it.

He's got a broken leg.

Oh, yeah.

A little bit more.

Just stay there.

OK.

We're gonna hand her out backwards.

Watch her arms now because I'm putting a lot of pressure

on 'em.

Hurry it up, Cap.

We can't knock down this engine fire.

And the wing tank is leaking gas.

Watch her back.

FIREMAN: Get back!

Everybody get back!

Get out of there.

Get out of there.

Watch out.

Watch out.

Yeah.

Plane crashes really are the worst.

Remember the one we responded to with the Pasadena Fire

Department?

Now that one was really going good.

LA Engine 51.

We have an aircraft into a three-story structure

with fire.

Request a second alarm assignment and six ambulances.

Captain, I got a task force coming in.

Where do you want us? - OK.

I got three lines in a second floor with my crew.

Why don't you stick one line up there

and assist them and take another line to the third floor?

The fuel tanks are leaking.

If they blow before we get it knocked down,

this whole building is gonna go.

Engine 28, lay duals to the truck.

Engine 19, two lines, third floor, south side.

[screaming]

Hold on, ma'am!

WOMAN: Help!

Please!

Oh, really, I'm here! Please!

All right. Hang on.

WOMAN: Please! - All right.

I'm coming. Come on.

Relax now.

Relax.

You're gonna be all right, OK?

Get her something.

[hyperventilating]

I want you to take that line.

All right.

And we're gonna put this over you.

Come on. FIREMAN: Get out of there!

It's gonna blow!

[screaming]

[yelling]

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Johnny, you all right?

All right.

Got a victim here.

Don't trip.

Hey, look, one of your men is still inside.

Cover me.

Hi.

Charlie McCowan. - Hi there.

Hey, Charlie.

I just came over to see if you were OK.

Yeah, I'm OK.

I'm all right. Listen, I want to thank you.

You probably saved my life.

Yeah, you know, I didn't realize

you were at the county till I, uh-- till I got you out.

Oh.

Well, sorry about that.

I'll try harder next time.

Sure thing.

Hey, thanks.

All right.

So long.

Hey, you know those-- uh, those Pasadena guys,

they-- they're OK.

I mean, they're all right.

They dress kind of funny, though, but they're OK.

[giggling]

JOHN: What are you laughing about?

I-- I was just remembering the time

you almost became a male model.

JOHN: Oh, yeah.

These are our paramedics.

John Gage, Roy DeSoto.

Fellas, say hello to Billy Zimmer from LCB&O.

Hiya.

Gage, how tall are you?

Oh, I'm about s-- I'm--

- How are your teeth? - Well, they're f--

- Smile. - Oh.

No, wider.

Let's see inside.

Uh-huh.

Perfect.

Now turn to the left.

Uh-uh.

Mhm.

He'll do, Dick.

Thanks very much.

We'll shoot this afternoon.

Much obliged, Captain.

And, oh, Gage?

Don't go getting yourself damaged or anything, hm?

Oh, no.

What the-- what was that all about?

Oh, don't play dumb, Gage.

You've just been selected male model of the year.

Everything all set.

Roy, go find him, will you?

DISPATCHER [ON INTERCOM]: 10-4, Copter 2.

Meet Division 4 in the parking lot.

They're waiting for you on the set, Mr. Gage.

Get me some tissue, please.

Thanks.

Ah.

Go stall them for me, please.

Oh.

All right, girls, your makeup looks just fine.

I think the dress will be perfect against this truck.

Oh, here you are, Gage.

Come over here.

I want you to try these on.

There we go.

There we go.

OK.

Somebody give him a hand.

There we go.

In the sleeve, Gage.

Find we go.

Let's get the collar down.

There we go.

Now sit right over here.

Watch yourself.

Hold this ax.

Uh.

No, turn it around.

Down.

Up.

Now, try to look professional, Gage, huh?

All Hi.

My name is Johnny Gage.

Hi, I'm Kathy.

I'm Zanny.

Short for Suzanne.

Did you cut yourself shaving?

Uh, will it show?

Well, I don't know.

The camera sees everything.

A little pancake will cover that up.

There.

Perfect.

Thanks.

[wolf whistling]

All right, girls.

Let's shoot it.

[emergency siren buzzing]

DISPATCHER [ON INTERCOM]: Engine 17-- Engine 17--

That's not us.

Go ahead.

You can reload, Tully.

DISPATCHER [ON INTERCOM]: --and 52nd Street.

Who's the cute guy with the mustache?

Who?

Him.

Oh.

He's just another fireman.

What are you?

I'm a fireman paramedic.

Good thing you are, the way you shave.

OK, OK, let's get back to work, girls.

Phone 27, what is your location?

Well, you see, the truck carries

the ladders and the engine carries the hoses

and the water, basically.

Then there's a snorkel, which is a truck

with a kind of hinged platform on it that goes up 85 feet.

[girls giggling]

Uh, right, Gage?

Oh, excuse me.

Um, excuse me just for a sec.

Thank you.

Now, we have a rescue squad, which is a specialized unit--

[emergency siren buzzing]

DISPATCHER [ON INTERCOM]: Engine 51, Engine 6--

Aw!

DISPATCHER [ON INTERCOM]: --rubbish fire,

14833 Rachel Boulevard.

14833 Rachel Boulevard.

Cross-street, 15th.

Time, 1640.

Oh, that was a rubbish fire.

I don't do rubbish fires.

I save lives.

Oh.

Hey, Johnny, the guy from the ad agency

wants to see you in the office.

And you, too, Roy.

You better watch it, Gage.

They'll wanna put you in a centerfold next.

Quiet.

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: Squad 3, what is your status?

Anything wrong, Mr. Zimmer?

We're just gonna have to reshoot the whole thing.

The whole thing?

Why?

The client just won't buy you, Gage.

The client?

Says you don't look like a fireman.

He sent me back to do the whole thing all over.

I'm-- I'm going to need another man.

The client selected DeSoto here.

Spotted him in the background of some of these shots.

Says he, uh, really looks like a fireman.

You know, I never did understand

what those girls saw in Chet.

That's because you're prejudice.

He was always on your case, like that mad bomber

number he used to do on you.

[phone ringing]

LA County Fire Department, Captain Stanley.

Yes, just hold on, please.

John, it's for you.

It's a female.

Oh!

Ah.

I'll take it in the dorm.

The bird-dog is aroused.

I saw his nose twitching.

It's his aunt.

And now the phantom bomber prepares to strike.

The world's greatest water bomb.

You'd drop that on Gage?

You'd do that to a guy who just lost a girl again?

Sure.

It'll take his mind off it.

[whistling]

Johnny. - What?

- 12 O'clock! - Huh?

Ha!

I think you've started something

you're going to regret.

But nobody escapes the phantom.

Chet, open it up.

Well, it's your locker.

It's OK.

Open it up.

Stay right there and open it up.

Hold it.

OK.

Now open it.

Boy, you really don't trust me, do you?

Hey.

I just got off the phone with a lovely young lady.

She's got a sitter for tomorrow night.

And we got a date.

You're kidding.

No, I'm not kidding.

Hey, are we gonna eat off the table?

Huh?

Are we gonna eat off the table?

Oh, no, we're not gonna eat off the table.

[sigh]

Well, it do look like the phantom got caught.

You have to admit I got the last laugh.

That you did.

Chester B was one good man in a clutch.

Yeah, that he was.

He sure came in handy that one time we had

that car accident in the hills.

You took off with the victim in the ambulance

and I had to go back down and get the radio.

Remember that one?

Hector, have you seen a handy talkie around here?

No.

Oh, man.

Oh, here it is.

[rattling]

God!

Oh, man, I've been bit by a rattler.

Listen, get me a tourniquet, a-- a branch, something limber

enough to use as a tourniquet.

Engine 51, this is John.

Uh, I've been bit by a rattlesnake.

Chet, Marco, move.

LA Engine 51.

We have a paramedic bitten by a rattlesnake.

Engine 51 is no longer available.

Time out one hour.

Repeat, paramedic bitten by a rattlesnake.

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: 10-4, 51.

Get me the county fire dispatcher.

John? Hang on, pal.

Help's on its way.

Damn it.

Johnny!

Over here!

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: Squad 51, we

have Rampart on the landline.

They're requesting vital signs.

All right, Rampart, as soon as we get out of here.

I don't like it.

If it's grade 4, Johnny could be dead within minutes.

I know.

OK.

OK.

Give me the drug box.

It's all right.

Marco, set up an IV.

Squad 51, vital signs are pulse, 95.

Respiration's 18.

BP is 120 over 65.

LA, advise patient commence IV with Ringer's Lactate.

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: 51, Rampart advises

IV with Ringer's Lactate.

10-4, Rampart.

OK.

Swab me down.

No, here.

OK.

Got it.

And pull.

Swab it again.

Well, here goes.

Agh.

Get it in there.

OK.

Got the IV?

OK, Cap.

Let's get me out of here. - Lopez, you bring in the squad.

Let's get going.

Let's go.

LA Engine 51.

We are transporting snakebite victim to Rampart emergency.

ETA is 30 minutes.

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: 10-4, 51.

Rampart requests update on patient's condition.

LA, this is Engine 51.

Patient is, uh, experiencing numbness around the mouth.

And he's somewhat drowsy.

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: 10-4, 51.

The venom's taking effect awfully fast.

Some of it must've gotten in a vein.

Time is the key factor now. - Well, three's all set up.

Good.

Carol, I'm ready for the skin test.

What's that for?

We've got to be sure he's not sensitive to the antivenom,

or it could kill him.

No reaction.

Carol, start the antivenom.

IV, 10 vials to start with.

That mean he's going to be all right?

I'd say he has an excellent chance right now.

I'm gonna go tell the other guys.

I didn't realize how fond he is of Johnny.

I don't think Chet did, either.

Well, it certainly isn't the world's safest line of work.

That it isn't.

I think the closest time you ever

came to it was when that girl trainee was assigned to us.

ROY: Yeah.

She really saved my life.

How does a nice girl like me make a go of it

in a place like this?

Well, it's like I told you before.

You just gotta be patient.

We're not going to have you do anything you can't handle,

and we're there to back you up.

When do I learn if I can do it on my own?

When you have to.

OK.

[emergency siren buzzing]

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: Station 51,

Engine 36, Engine 127, structure fire, 129 East Alhambra.

Cross-street, 9th.

Time out, 1340.

[sirens blaring]

[music playing]

We-- uh, we had some fire up-- upstairs in itself.

And now I'm not sure about downstairs.

Anybody still in the house?

Nobody's home downstairs, but my sister-in-law's upstairs.

She's an invalid. - Which room?

- Corner room in the back. - OK.

Go bring her out. Use your air masks.

MAN: Now, those are two separate residences.

There's no stairway inside.

OK.

Kelly, you I will go in there with an inch and a half.

Hey.

[hissing]

Watch out.

We could get a backdraft explosion.

Start right here.

Five seconds of fog, whip it around in there,

and shut it down.

OK.

Hand her down to me, all right?

Get the clear--

Right.

Hey!

Hey!

Over here!

Come on! On the double.

Foot the ladder for me.

The second floor is going.

OK.

Clear.

He's converting.

Engine 127, Engine 51.

Come in hit the attic fire.

Truck 127, come in and open up the roof.

The O2.

Yeah, I know it.

He's got a pulse, and he's breathing on his own.

LA, this is Squad 51.

Respond an ambulance to this address.

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: Squad 51.

Well, like you always say.

It goes with the territory.

Yeah, we had some close ones-- like

the time you and I and Marco all wound

up in the hospital together. - Oh!

Yeah.

Boy, just being there was worse than getting there.

JOHN: Gentlemen, gentlemen gentlemen.

Well, welcome to Rampart.

Ah, gentlemen, I am in charge of recreation,

also in charge of morale.

I'm also in charge of laundry.

Gage, you're AWOL.

Tsk, tsk.

Ugly, ugly.

Now get back to your room.

OK.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

It's-- it's OK. We were just talking--

And no insubordination from you, Bright Eyes.

Well, are you going to roll that thing,

or do I have to carry you? - I'm going.

I'm going.

Whup!

I don't understand.

We were just--

He knows I have a schedule to keep.

It's 1100 hours.

It's time for his bath.

Bath?

That's right.

Bath.

In exactly 15 minutes, I'll be back.

Back?

That's right, Steve Stunning.

You're next.

Well, I guess when it comes down to saves,

I still owe you a few-- like the time I got-- I got trapped

in that burning building.

I think my partner's still in there.

Roy, John! You stay right here.

I want you to tell those two men exactly where

you think your partner is. - OK.

Kelly, you and Lopez grab a 2 and 1/2.

Hit that front door.

LA, Engine 51. I want a second alarm response.

DISPATCHER [ON RADIO]: Engine 51.

OK, boys.

We got somebody in there, I think.

The last time I saw my partner,

he was down at the far end there.

Right.

K. Stay here.

Uh, doesn't look too bad.

[coughing]

[crashing]

Johnny!

Johnny!

Hey!

Johnny!

Johnny!

Johnny?

Johnny, you all right? - Yeah.

Yeah.

I-- I'm all right.

Get him.

The ceiling gave way.

[coughing]

Can you manage OK?

Yeah. Yeah.

I can take care of myself. Go on.

Take care of him.

We can't make it this way.

Let's go upstairs.

[coughing]

Sit on here.

Hey, come on.

Get that line out of here.

Give me a hand.

OK. I'm going to give yuo this mask.

Breathe in now.

Breathe in on that-- hold that to your face.

Breathe in.

I want Lopez and Kelly here.

I want a ladder and an inch and a half.

Hold this in your lap.

Keep breathing.

OK, Johnny, we just need to get out of here.

Let's go.

I'm all right.

I can manage.

We're gonna flash any second.

Keep breathing.

Watch out.

OK, up here!

[crashing]

Well, I guess you expect me to tell you

how grateful I am and whatnot.

Well, whatever seems natural.

Well, I am.

Grateful, I mean.

Gave me a chance to get my shoes dried out.

By the way, I decided, uh, to pass up that promotion.

What for?

Well, I can always take another shot at it next year.

Maybe by then, the rules will be changed

and you can still get a promotion and be a paramedic.

Hm.

Well, it's worth another year, I guess.

Besides, you're gonna need somebody to look after you.

Hey.

Next year for sure, though, huh?

Well, it wasn't the next year-- or the year after that,

for that matter.

But you finally made it, Captain.

We both did.

Yeah.

That we did.

Well, guess I'd better get going home.

Joanne and the kids, you know.

Yeah.

Well, I gotta go, too, so.

Listen now.

Um, we are going to be staying in touch with one another,

right?

Right.

I mean, just because we're not working together--

Yeah. Yeah.

That's exactly what I mean.

It's just that, uh-- you know what I mean.

Yeah.

I mean, it's not like we're moving out of town or anything.

We're still here.

We're still in the same department.

We're still friends.

Yeah.

Still.

Yeah.

Roy, uh--

Yeah?

Come on.

I'll tell you what.

I'll walk you out to your car.

All right.

[music playing]
