This was a series profiling how the current paramedics got their start on the Los Angeles COUNTY Fire Department. Sort of an early-70's version of reality TV. It may or may not have been historically accurate, but it does do a good job at showing just how important paramedics are at saving lives.
The station used in the series is in Carson, CA, and is still in use as a county fire station. However, it does not house the mythical Squad 51.
It was kind of interesting to see how Adam-12 tied into this series, even though the officers were L.A. City, and the paramedics were L.A. County and the two generally don't interact since they are in different jurisdictions.
