Right at the top of the show, Malloy and Reed are told to assist the fire department and "handle Code 2" but when they arrive at the scene, they are "Code 3."
When the escaped mental patient, George, is holding his wife at knifepoint, It is unlikely any policeman would allow two nurses to come in, takeover and then take him back to the hospital.
When Reed goes up to the burning car he tells the man with the garden hose to step back because if the fire hits the gas tank it will explode. In reality, there are so many venting holes in the fuel tank that it would not explode. A "BLEVE" is a Boiling Liquid, Expanding Vapor Explosion and that only happens on a sealed non-venting tank.
Mr. Richards says he went out on the ledge to look at the nest of a White-throated Warbler.
The Audubon Society website does not list such a bird. It does list a White-Throated Sparrow, but that bird nests in shrubs, not on building ledges.
When Mallloy encounters the burning metal building he kicks it over.
This is not a smart move.
A fire in a metal barrel is contained and does not pose a risk. By kicking the barrel over Malloy could have caused the fire to spread.

When the two nurses arrive for George, the escaped mental patient is holding a knife to his wife's throat, the one nurse says "we're from George's hospital..." but nobody's mouth is moving.
In the scene where the man is stuck on the 3rd story building ledge, the gold Mustang with white top crew car can be seen not only passing by from the street level camera shot, but it is also seen passing by a 2nd time later in the scene from the 3rd floor looking down. A green Porsche 911 can be seen parked in the street. It is also seen in many episodes.
