Fire station 51, T V show Emergency, C the kitchen,barracks,break room its the same!

[wnychevy09]

Very interesting video, fan of the show here in Buffalo, NY thanks for posting

[billyfrmhill]

Did they get rid of the foam unit and split up the light force into a quint and an engine?

[fvshkatie]

Nice to see this here. Funny how I could pick out everything and every room and know EXACTLY where everything was just from watching the show! Thanks for sharing it.

[Hot80s]

Is it around near Compton? I recall some ladder truck showing up with the the City of Compton on the ladder.

[AlisoViejoMan]

Was that flat screen tTV there thirty five years ago during the show

[trainglen22]

Thanks for the memories.

[Daisyno2]

still using the wooden laters wierd. Notice the payphone in the corner is gone at

2:23?

[atomx111]

I too am an Emergency! fan. I was at the station in May of 2011, and the firefighters were very friendly and showed us around, too. Their little 'gift shop' with shirts and patches was very cool. Many thanks to the people who work there, very courteous!

[nohchogums]

Thank you for the video and I 'd like to say your fire station is more best then our in Russia you have all you need and people in my station always craing

[ahnbra]

First of all thanks for the video and thanks to the fire fighter who showed you around. i would have liked to see then cpatains office and front public entrance. Oh whell thats how life is disipointing some times. I am wondering if any one here knows when this station got a tiller ladder. Last I say on the web they had a platform ladder truck. It's also to bad that MR. Cinadar was dead befor the station was deadicated to him. Agin hat is how life works sometimes. Thank you for this video! 

[kewrock]

Wow. These guys have luxury. A typical firehouse in NYC is basically an ancient building that hasn't fallen down yet.

[fvshkatie]

@kewrock I guess it's just the relative age of the "east coast" vs. "west coast'. The further west you go, the newer things seem to get. But it's not the firehouse, it's the courage and valor of the firefighters serving there. :)

[NobleActual11]

What kind of engine is engine 127 and what year

[LipstickWarrior1]

Hi all, it's so wonderful how much this show is still loved. FYI- this Saturday July 9th, 10:00am - 4:00pm Station 127 will be celebrating the Emergency 51 Show with firefighting demos, apparatus displays, BBQ, Live Band and appearances by Mantooth and Stoker

[xioxitozona19]

Wow, thanks for the tour, I really enjoy it, I still remember the first time I watched the first episode back in 1973, was 12 and fell in love with the series, now 38 years later I.m very fortunate to have the whole colection of Emergency! on dvd, Randolph and Kevin became huge Stars in my country Guatemala. EMERGENCY! ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER!!!

[MrAndrewhasty21]

Doctor Kelly Brackett & Doctor Joe Early are the best doctors in Rampart General Hospital.and Fire Fighter Roy Desoto & FF Johnny Gage are the best firefighters in the LA County Fire Station 51.

[IslandDigital]

Thank you for posting this. I really enjoyed it. That was my favorite show as a kid. The whole neighborhood use to play Emergency on our bikes. Saturday mornings were a bunch of kids on bikes making siren voices. Pretty funny. Thanks!

[Kabul81]

Pretty cool,just like going back in time!

Jman

[kc9mle]

god i'd loose control in there

[fcfdladder22]

It must suck workin at 127 and having all these ppl come and bother u during ur shift just so they can see station "51" don't get me wrong good show but ppl need to remember its not a Hollywood set its a real workin fire house we have stuff to do when we r there its not all fun a.d games

[twbnet]

That is a nice video. I became a volunteer firefighter partly because of watching Emergency!. When I received my department member card and looked down at it I almost needed a paramedic because the ID number on the card was 51.

[11784iceman]

I

That's cool I grew up on this show they were reel cool

[shinkotsu77]

i want to see Station 127 bc im a huge Emergency! fan

Station 51 10-4 KMG 365

[bk2158]

how totally gnarly, i may be a decrepid old man now, but i remember this show with fond memories. thanks for posting dude!

[gracebeliever]

I wonder how many people come by that station EVERY day making their pilgrimage to pay homage? it almost has to be, like, "guys here comes another one. put on the happy face." etc,. Don't get me wrong. This TV show completely shaped my life as it has countless others. I'm just saying... wonder how it is for those guys?

[Rhino16161]

What a scene to see the barracks and kitchen! Thanks for posting. As a kid I not only watched the show religiously but I also tried to walk and talk like John Gage.

[desertdawgz4u]

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to share this video. Has always been a goal to see it in person one day. Nice to see it hasn't changed much from the original. Again, thank you.

[acesobrian]

Soooo Great!

[spirit030577]

Awesome...Thanks this s great. I love Emergency! Wonderful...

[mimeglen]

Wow, Thanks for the memories...

[snarlingrabiddog5150]

Thank you for making this! :) Wow, brings back memories!

[ladyjoanna64]

I know this may sound ridiculous to many... but I would really love to visit this fire station. I think the guys were fantastic to let people go in and make videos. To some of us, "Emergency!," is truly one of our dearest childhood memories!!!

[lom3ardo]

This is so AMAZING. I never knew there was a real station 51 fire house. I have to see it lol

[michaelbob80]

Now you need to visit rampart!

[efd996mk]

very nice:))

now a Tiller and an Engine.....funny.....

used to be an EMS show:)?

[JLJ061]

Sweet! The kitchen almost looks exactly the same from the show!

[GenoBudz420]

thumbs up.good video

[wgr88]

Thanks for the video of Squad 51 one of my favorite shows i still watch that at hulu.com its still a great show.

[lostindiancamp]

I feel like a kid again watching the show. Johnny Gage's locker is still there. If I was one of the firefighters, I would beg for that locker.

It would be such a thrill to take that tour. They would think I was some kind of a psycho because I would be hugging that locker and jumping in Johnny's bed.

[lostindiancamp]

This is so cool. Other than the new tv and appliances, the place hasn't changed much at all. It is so neat that the series was filmed in that building instead of some Hollywood studio.

I would be such a nerd if I had the opportunity to walk through there. I would just be in awe.

[4emsteph]

This was fun to watch...thanks for thinking of filming and posting.

[Sismiques]

TV in the same spot :D

[BLCory]

I have been enjoying the dvd's of Emergency thanks to a good friend of mine so to see this video of how things haven't changed much since the show was incredible. I wonder if the alarm in the firestation was still the same tone that they used for the show? Thank you for doing this video restordan. I appreciate it!

[jollieollie36]

Oh WOW!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! From the bottom of my heart, from Melbourne, Australia! I'm a HUGE Emergency! Fan. I even became an Emergency Nurse because of this show. Your video tour was almost as good as being there. THANKS again!

[ladyjoanna64]

I really love this video and must make it a point to visit here. I am so thankfull to the firefighters for letting this video be shot and their kindness. There will forever be Johnny and Roy fans. Great Job!!!!!

[bus114]

Great stuff. I also got a tour of the station, in May 2010, and it was a pretty big thrill for somebody who watched the show as a teenager back in the 70s (when it comes to fire stations and stuff, we guys never really grow up, do we? Fortunately the firefighters at Station 127 know that and are very gracious in giving tours).

[MrAndrewhasty21]

do they have old famous buzzer?

[MrAndrewhasty21]

do they have an old famous station buzzer?

[pentax02839]

great video but you tube sucks it keeps stopping every few seconds.

[4emsteph]

@pentax02839

You need a faster computer/high speed connection. Worked fine for me.

[pentax02839]

great video if only you tube would not stop every few seconds.you tubve sucks

[Allgaierfan12]

The hospital is "Harbor-UCLA Medical Center"...if you google map it you can see where the ambulances went in and where the squad parked.

[paulfromdonmills]

Google map and do the street view..the sunshine is too bright but U can see the hood..and the refinery is gone now by the looks of it.. 2049 East 223rd street Carson Ca.

[paulfromdonmills]

KMG-365 was the answer to the alarm..I`ll always remember that..Loved the show and what I learned in first aid I used in real life.

[tnhll]

The day this station was dedicated as the "Robert A. Cinader Memorial Fire Station," the audience was seated were you see the fire engines in this photo. Bob Cinader had died several years prior to the ceremony. His wife, Jean, was at the podium commenting on the tributes to her husband when the men in Station 127 were called to duty. Across the way a major fire had broken out in one of the refineries. Sirens were whaling. It was noisy. Jean Cinader didn't skip a beat. She said "that would be m

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

My Uncle took my brother and myself in the 1970's when it looked more like the TV intro, but years go by and things change, but as a kid it was totally a dream come true to see station 127(51) ,back then there was no Youtube so thanks for sharing.

[ProjectorKinginc]

I was there in 98 or so. Didn't have video camera,but the kitchen cabinets are different they told me the whole kitchen was to be gutted within a few months,but I guess they only did the cabinets. Great video though. Miss being there.

[CAR000qld]

Restodan that's awesome filming around the station, that's one station I must visit if I ever come over to the States. Loved Emergency when I was a kid and still now, in the 70's it was prime time 19:00hrs every week night here. I've just retired after 20 years as a Paramedic here on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia and I'm pretty sure Emergency influenced not only me but many others to become Paramedics.

[MetalSanke]

It doesn't seem to of changed much.

[kevinsilverado]

Awesome video of hallowed ground! Thanks for sharing!

[isskios]

Great video.Always wondered how the current station would be today.Nice insight.

An Emergency Kid!

[fdnylover]

awesome man

[rockinbeth]

Thank you for posting this, what a cool tour of the station and trip down memory lane!!

[wwrigle2]

KMG is not the radio frequnecy, the the F. C. C. issued license!

[mark86442]

thats cool. I allways wonder where the station was.

[9020powrmax]

Unreal!! This is great! Of course take into consideration for upgrades over the years(Change of times) FANTASTIC!!!

[wwrigle2]

When was this video made?

[restodan]

@wwrigle2 I made this video in July 2009

[squad51engine51]

@restodan i would love to go one day that is my dream to sse the squad and engine and the station. i still use there numbers are almost everything from ,y cell phone name to internet names.

[deb90566]

KMG-365!

[jlg317]

does anyone know when the last season will be released on DVD?

[RAILTECHCHASER]

@jlg317 It was just realeased about a month ago.

[ForkliftJoe]

The station looked bigger on TV.

[grateful2beable]

What was SO cool to watch. Thanks for sharing!

[goldencorn]

it sill the same.

[MIKECNW]

This is all pretty interesting.

Now I'm wondering if anyone has any footage of station 10 or 110 from the Pilot movie or even the police staion were Adam-12 was filmed?

[perpetual61]

How Lucky are you ? I use to watch this show as a kid. I wish I could have the chance to see this in reality. I'm flooded with memories of what a great show it was.

[TruthSeeker1988]

I knew a friend who was taking an elective course at the "Rampart" hospital. It's called Harbor-UCLA and it actually still looks the same on the outside of the building. They repainted most of the walls white and did some expansions though, but overall it still has the same look. The dorms still have a 70s-80s look.

[atreyufan11091]

That guy is lucky

[MyFreedomChannel]

A few of the things different in this station compared to the one on TV is the stove, the ovens, the fridge and the location of the doorway which was right next to the phone to the left of the door as you walked in.

[MyFreedomChannel]

How cool ... The only two that are missing are Henry and Boot .. the mascots. Oh, and don't forget the couch that Henry lounged on all the time. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us.

[FSMLosst]

Before I die, I will visit L.A.

[paulfromdonmills]

@FSMLosst I`m going soon as well..I`m driving from Toronto to the west coast..

[hvn795]

I was in the LA area this week and also stopped by the station - the on duty crew could not have been any nicer. They noticed me taking a picture outside the station and came out and offered me a tour of the station and current apparatus. The station as you see in this video is much the same as it was over 30 years ago. In addition to the guys being great the station is immaculate - you would never guess it has not been renovated in over 30 years.

[chrisrockspeoria]

that was sooooooo cool

[shooster11]

Thanks for posting this. As a kid, every Saturday night, before taking a bath, I would watch "Emergency." At the time, I wanted to be a fire fighter so I was enthralled with it.

BTW, the episode of "Emergency" that was on in the break room during your visit, I believe is the one where singer Bobby Sherman played a cocky young doctor that instructed the paramedics to give a patient a very dangerous dose of drugs. If memory serves, the paramedics ended up calling a different hospital.

[bunkieb00]

@shooster11 yeah roy called into a hospital called st francis and advised upon receiving instructions that they were transporting patient to rampart

[MyFreedomChannel]

@shooster11 You're absolutely right! The name of the episode was "Fools." You have a great memory! :-)

[CTFD13]

@shooster11 Very close. He wanted them to counter shock the pt. he was reading a different rythm than the medics. so they called st. francis. He did do a ride along with them and helped them save another patiens life during a refinery fire.

[boppinbob05]

@shooster11 yes you are correct .when paramedic roy desoto used the bia phone to call rampart he had dr brackett for only a few moment when he was called to another patient room he let that new intern dr take 51,s call he was reading one thing and roy and johnny saw something else so when sherman messed up his advice roy switched to the other hospital for there diagnois treatment but they still took there patient to rampart general . brackett &early listened to call and agreed with roy& john

[jhamlin726]

@shooster11 There was a problem with the EKG telemetry system. The doctor was seeing one rhythm while Johnny and Roy saw another, thus the confusion on treatment. 51 contacted another hospital and their interpretation was confirmed. Great episode!

[RailsandRoads]

do they still use the old Famous Station Buzzer?

[restodan]

@RailsandRoads I don't know, I should have asked. They didn't get a call while I was there.

[rtlstkr]

@restodan

If the person asking means at the door for visitors, I think they do...we went in November of 2008 and I had to ring the buzzer at the door. :o) They are really great about visitors, I'm glad you got to go!

[MIKECNW]

@restodan Didn't the guy say the tones are different?

BTW, the guy who played DR. Brackett was Robert Fuller.

[nubbie1944]

@restodan LACoFD quit using those tones in the mid-90s.

[4emsteph]

@restodan

Listen carefully at 03:22 when the firefighter says that the tones have changed due to an upgrade in the system.

[mortonfiredept]

@RailsandRoads are you talking about the tones? he says at 3:23 that they dont anymore

[RailsandRoads]

@mortonfiredept after the tones, after u har the 2 quickcall tones, then u heard a loud klaxon/buzzer go off

[mortonfiredept]

@RailsandRoads o, I understand what you are saying now

[RailsandRoads]

@mortonfiredept k

[mooo483]

@RailsandRoads and @restodan

I just noticed the firefighter talking at around 3:20 when you mention the more modern phone, he says the tones different now.

Thanks for posting this, great video. On my next Cali trip I'm going to have to check this out.

[RailsandRoads]

@mooo483 ok

[AnnoyingTypoSyndrome]

Masonry is murder !

At elast it was in Jersey, where they found the childrens bodies built into THE MASONRY !

They ve only got to ifnd which building firm did it, but they cant, cus they are aLL maosns in jersey - but HUSH HUSH, nudge nudge, wink wink, and all the evidence has VANISHED form the SECURE POLICE HOLDING ROOMS.

Now ask yourself WHY, people ! WHY ?

Because police and masons bugger children to death, in satanic rituals, all over the uk !

CHECK THEIR BASEMENTS !!!

[BassmanII]

That's interesting that Truck 127 now has a tractor-drawn aerial. Before this, they had either the infamous Crown Snorkel or a ladder tower.

[wwrigle2]

They were A Shift, not C!!! Iheard in an episode, but forgot which one.

[TitaniumByFire]

Amazing, usually a show just uses the exterior shots, but use a studio or backlot to film interior stuff. Would have never guessed that it was all real. Thanks for posting this.

[restodan]

@TitaniumByFire ...yeah, thats what got me as they let me look around. I had to grab my camera and show others it was real!

[mjm4222]

Yes and no. There was some location shots done here at Station 127. Most were done at a sound stage at Universal. A 2/3 scale set of this station was built for most interior shoting. If you watch the show you will notice the bays are smaller on the stage set vs location shots.

[restodan]

@mjm4222 wow, are you there at station 127? I hope yall don't mind this video, it makes people's day.

[mjm4222]

No, i knew someone who had ties to the show and told me the history. Real cool stuff. Love you video!!!

[Thenews72]

@mjm4222 also, some seens are shot in impossible angles in the engine bay, so they were done on the sound stages.

[barmtrail]

Great video!! The bushes along the back wall have grown. in the series you could see the freeway in the back. I think it is the 405. I watched this show every saturday night on channel 4 at 8 oclock. I never missed it. I have a t.v. guide with the cast on front. And i have the toy helmet from 1975. The fuel tank out front was not their as well during the show. I am glad that they have not changed the station. Too bad we dont have shows like this anymore for kids. Ditto for adam 12.

[restodan]

@barmtrail Yeah, I have long given up on todays TV, especially for my young girls. You can't even watch kid shows on TV now without having seeing gory violent commercials for like CSI or some other depressing grose show. I have complete collections of Adam-12 Leaveit to Beaver, The Fugitive and other 50's-60's shows on DVD's, to offset all the junk that is on now. Also Bullwinkle, LOL

[Thenews72]

@restodan I'm 13 years old, and i watch Emergency! on hulu everyday after school. I've grown out of spongebob, hate MTV, vh1, CSI, and all that crap

[2Bibleppl]

Great vid. Thanks for making and posting this.

[PARAMEDICSUM]

Awesome... good tour for this fire station... great moments in tv show. I am Paramedic (EMT) in México, City. i see tv serie in 70´s when iam a kid. Congratulations and good look!!!

[restodan]

@fdnyemt5330 Do you know when they moved out of it, like a long time ago or just recently? I build fighter jets and my desk is just behind the plant EMS building so I hear all the calls and its amazing how quickly they get rolling. A friend of mine lives next to "Dr. Bracket" here in TX. I havent met him yet. Another show I'm a big fan of is The Fugitive with David Jansen. Thats a good picture of simpler times and well writen.

[MyFreedomChannel]

@restodan Just out of curiosity .. in what general area of Texas does Robert Fuller ("Dr. Brackett") live? I wonder if it's near Chuck Norris and his family.

[restodan]

@fdnyemt5330 ....I hope they aren't planning on tearing down the LAPD HQ? Have you herd of such? Sounds like we have the same tastes here. I have the whole series of Adam 12 and Dragnet and 2 seasons of emergency on DVD. Adam 12 is my favorite, I like to view all the60's early70's LA scenes and all the cool old cars cruising the streets. I used to watch these shows when they were new, fav then and now.

[loescheimer]

Awesome !!!!

[iloveretro77]

This video was so cool. I have the 1st 5 seasons on dvd and my kids have watched the show

[mjm4222]

Thanks for the post. Loved the show as a kid. Just a FYI, I had the pleasure of meeting one of the FD Dep. Chief's who worked with Jack Webb on the show. He told me they filmed some here at Station 127 and had a set bulit on a sound stage at Univeral (it was a smaler scale) that they used for interior shots of Station 51 and Rampart Hospital. If you watch the show you can tell the difference. The storage doors on the right are less and the County map is smaller.

[legoguy918]

That is so cool you were able to get that all on video. That was one of my favorite shows as a kid, and I have the first 4 seasons on dvd. I wasn't sure if the interior scenes were shot there, but now I know. It's cool to see it still looks the same after more than 30 years.

[restodan]

Yeah, I couldn't believe it still looked the same and was the actual place they filmed the inside shots too, thats why I had to grab my camera and load it on here, I'm glad others are enjoying it too, thanks!

[scottdd2]

the guys here were really nice. i made a special trip to la just to see this station. didn't know how to get there or anything just knew the address. landed at the airport and asked general directions. while i was on a bus heading there i passed another station (stn 10) and so i jumped off the bus and went in, they too were real nice, went for lunch with them and chatted then they got me to station 127. best day ever. out of a 3 month round the world trip from australia this was a huge highlite.

[5minmajor22]

KMG365 is the radio station call sign for the LA County FD.... they did the same in DRAGNET KMA367 for City of Los Angeles PD.... the same principle as WABC or KABC for you westerners

[restodan]

Hey, thanks for the info, it had been awhile since I had herd what the KMG365 meant, so I must have forgotten some of the details.

[wonderglory]

Oh my goodness, oh my gracious!

[paramedic51]

Wonderful video! Thanks for posting it!

[grandprismatic]

"Rampart" I remember watching that show sweet!

[restodan]

or how about "KMG365" I believe this was said in every episode, atleast once....trivia here, when was it said? and what does it mean? and also said in every epsode..."hey look out !!!! its gona BLOW!!!!" ....LOL

[homelovefire]

Please Tell Me Wat KMG365 Means Please

[restodan]

As I've been told by a friend of mine who is a fireman, when they pull out of the station to a call, they announce what radio frequency they are on...??? I had asked because I noticed that they always say that on the radio as they are pulling out of station 51.
