Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The creme of Jack Webb action series ran 6 seasons from 1972-1979, inspired by CA legislation signed by Gov. Ronald Reagan on July 14, 1970. The new law paved the way for creation of firefighter paramedic programs all over California. This series showcases the Los Angeles model and the emerging specialty of Emergency Hospital Medicine. In Los Angeles, firefighters train to certify as FF-PM, employed through the L.A. County Fire Department. The new Station 51 has one full-size Engine and a smaller Squad which carries state of the art equipment used by the FF-PMs. This includes a mobile radio and portable EKG machine which allows them contact and transmit information to and from the field to ER specialists at hospitals like Rampart General. There are spectacular rescues and more mundane runs; prompt treatment in the field by FF-PMs keeps a large number of patients alive long enough to reach a hospital. At Rampart, teams of skilled professionals provide appropriate medical care to the patients transported by Squad 51 and other FF-PMs. A close friendship evolves between the Squad 51 FF-PMs and the Rampart emergency team. The FF-PM mantra: "take it easy" is born. Written by LA-Lawyer |

| Trivia | After the series, Jim Page, considered as the father of modern EMS and served as a series consultant, offered Randolph Mantooth the opportunity to train and become a Firefighter with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. He turned it down, but only after much reflection. See more » |
| Goofs | Because the exterior shots of the station were from an active working LACoFD station(127), Truck 127 was parked off to the side of the station during filming, and during several of the response clips you can see parts of the actual truck to the right of the building. See more » |

| Quotes |
Paramedic John Gage:
I remember... I was working B-Shift over at Station 10. That was a great, old station. Know why? Paramedic Roy DeSoto: It had a pole? Paramedic John Gage: It had a pole. A fire station just isn't a fire station without a pole. See more » |
