Goofs:

Factual errors: The oxygen tanks in the back of the ambulance are labeled 'Flammable Gas'. Oxygen is not flammable. Oxygen will accelerate a fire, but doesn't burn in and of itself.

Quotes:

Jimmy Palmer: [during an autopsy of a badly burned body] I'm having a little problem with the smell today.
Ducky: Really? I think he smells like my mother's fried chicken.
Jimmy Palmer: Yeah, that would be the problem.
