Emergency! Was a groundbreaking series as the first to focus on paramedics in action. With hospital scenes, firehouse scenes, firefighting scenes, rescues, and emergency medical intervention, it offer a broad coverage of the life and profession of these brave and essential public servants.
This episode deals with the normal medical issues but has a major brush fire occurring mostly off stage, and in the off-stage portion of the story a member of the Engine 51 team is seriously injured by a falling beam in a burning structure.
At the hospital, the story deals with his wife's grief and anger and her determination that he should give up the job ... if he survives. It's a powerful scene and well acted.
