Episode Summary

[x] Remove Ad
An out of control brushfire threatens a large area in the valley; Station 51 is one of many called to respond. They meet 79 year old Winifred Lenover and her 80 year old sister, who hate each other. Winifred needs medical help but won't leave the house in her sister's care. A boy named Andy, whose arm is broken in three places, finds his way to the hospital but wants to leave to go find his missing dog Grover. Five runs in six hours and the paramedics still aren't done: they treat a fireman named Conway whose leg is pinned under a tree, a pregnant woman who cannot be moved until she gives birth, and whose house will shortly be engulfed, the victim of a stampede, and a motorcyclist who ran off the road while looting evacuated homes.

Episode Goofs

Chet remarks that it takes five months of training to become a paramedic, yet the program is said to take three weeks many times during the series.

Andy (the boy who broke his arm in three places) races to his dog and throws both arms around him. While this joyful reunion is touching, it's also impossible. No one (and especially not a child) could operate a broken arm like that without experiencing excruciating pain, which Andy displays no sign of experiencing.
