Wow -- what a rare clip! In the pilot Johnny and Roy lobby to have California legislators initiate a paramedic system -- "The Wedsworth-Townsend Act" . Dr. Fuller was against it but Cage and DeSoto prove themselves several times in the episode and along with it gain a strong supporter. Director Jack Webb incorporated Adam-12 -- one of top programs in the country -- in order to help sell the pilot. Thanks for uploading this great find.

I read on Wikipedia that a new feature-length movie based on the EMERGENCY! TV series is slated for release later this year. Is this rumor true?

[ChristianFirefighter]

@geemoe2007 Nope, haven't heard that?

@cuznvinnie818 Gage was talked into becoming a Paramedic by DeSoto, passed his test, and transfered from Station 10 to Station 51.

@cuznvinnie818 Station 51 was a "new" station after Johnny gets out of paramedic school. Today, there is an actual LA Station 51, located at Universal Studios.

The first squad truck Roy and John ever drove as paramedics was a 1950s Dodge squad truck running as Squad 10, house with Engine 10, Engine 210, Truck 10 and other station 10 units.
