Product Description:
This book captures the essence of an important chapter in television history: coverage of the origins of the Emergency!, a dramatic series significant beyond entertainment. Emergency! followed the daily lives of a pair of Los Angeles County Fire Department firefighters/paramedics, along with their colleagues at Station 51 and the emergency room staff of Rampart General Hospital. The book offers a behind the scenes look, packed with interviews from many of the medical and fire department technical advisors, cast members, writers, and other production crew members that worked on the series.

The content of the book is, perhaps due to this confusion, somewhat schitzophrenic. The authors try ... Read More

I bought this book as a suggestion from Amazon when I bought the 3rd and 4th seasons of "Emergency!". I spent a whole weekend reading this book. This is a MUST HAVE for anyone that likes the tv show. Personally, I wish I had been a firefighter, but I had terrible eyes and I couldn't qualify as a fireman, although I eventually became an Advanced EMT. I *so* much wanted to be able to work with John and Roy, and Doctors Brackett and Early. But enough about me. :-)
If you enjoy "trivial trivia" of the ... Read More
