I'm sorry to say there isn't anymore. I got the last of it.
Well, I figured.
Well, I thought you could grab some in the field anyway.
I've got you down for some fire prevention inspections.
But you're not going to be able to get a good shot of the fire.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I thought you might want to start at that hot dog stand at Wilmington and Freeman.
Oh, yeah. That's going to be thrilling.
Uh-huh.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Station 51, station 116.
Fire in the alley behind 3045 Western National.
Cross Street, Whitley Avenue.
Time out, 10-10.
Station 51, here you are.
Fire in the alley behind 3045 Western National.
Station 51, this is Rampart.
Can you send me some EKG?
10-4, transmitting EKG.
We're sending you a strip.
Vitals to follow.
Balsus 160, the victim is in extreme pain, Rampart.
Station is in vehicle fifth.
Station is in vehicle fifth.
Rampart, we have lost the victim's pulse.
Beginning CPR.
We're defibrillating victim, Rampart.
Rampart, we've defibrillated victim.
He's inside his rhythm.
Minister, two amps sodium bicarbonate.
Insert an airway.
Start an IV, 51.
Light-tainted ringers.
Squad 51, continue monitoring vitals and transport immediately.
Fire away, Rampart.
It's back there. The whole place is gonna go.
Okay, Mike, back up and pull straight on through.
It's a fire. It's back there.
Okay, all right.
Are we too late?
All clear, Captain. I think I got it.
Phil, I told you to leave it alone.
You might have been burned.
Looks like spontaneous combustion to me.
Probably one of my tenants dropped some paint cans in.
That's why I only use the number 10 dumpster.
Absolutely fireproof, right, Captain?
Right.
Of course, if your boys want to hose her down,
that's fine with me.
You better hurry up, Captain.
It may go out by itself.
Wash it down, Marko.
Hello, engine 51.
We have a rubbish fire.
It's squad 51 available.
I've seen engine 51 out, but...
Engine 51, 10-4.
All units responding with station 51, cancel.
Oh, you want some details for your log book.
I got my log book right here.
1,400 hours, reported smoke in garage area.
Instructed Roger to put building on orange alert.
Yes, that's very nice. Thank you very much.
Cap, you know, maybe Phyllis might be good
for the 51's women's auxiliary.
What do you mean?
She could probably pass the captain's exam.
My chance will make me feel insecure.
That wouldn't be hard.
That must have looked great.
I mean, five guys in full protective gear
just standing around watching women put out of fire
with a fire extinguisher.
Yeah, I guess it was kind of an overkill.
Can you imagine what would have happened
had we not canceled the truck company?
Yeah, we'd be hearing about it for years.
There it is. Davies dogs.
What a dump that place is.
Looks like it should have a health department
check out before a fire inspection.
I sure wanted a cup of coffee.
Oh, yeah, I know.
I'm sure they'll be able to get you a cup of coffee.
I'm sure they'll be able to get you a cup of coffee.
I'm sure they'll be able to get you a cup of coffee.
I'm sure they'll be able to get you a cup of coffee.
I'm sure they'll be able to get you a cup of coffee.
Well, maybe you can take your chances.
Huh.
Lovely.
I think I'll lie.
Wait, I'll make coffee.
Oh, no.
Yeah, looks like everybody's home.
Hello?
Yeah, yeah, be right with you.
Hey.
First day guiding yourself to take us to the fireman's ball or something?
Uh, no, sir, no, we're not.
We're just here for a routine fire inspection of the place.
Okay, help yourself. My name's Hobson.
Uh, listen, I'm just having a bite to eat.
You would like maybe a chow-y dog as a surprise?
No, no, thanks. We're fine.
Okay, whatever. I mean, uh, listen,
there ain't very much good a place just out here in the back end of the kitchen.
Yeah, well, we'll take a look.
Yeah, you do that. Whatever.
Okay.
Yeah, well, is everything okay back there?
Uh, no, sir, Mr. Hobson, I'm afraid it's not.
Yeah, how come?
Well, sir, you have some non-standard wiring back there,
and, uh, all your circuits are overloaded.
Oh, really? Well, I mean, uh, everything works okay.
Yes, sir, probably so,
but you have too much current going through there,
one spark from it, and the whole place could go up.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, you have to be careful.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, you got some frayed wiring there by your deep-fried cooker,
and you got some gas leaks over there on your stove,
and you got enough grease and that flue to run a railroad.
Well, gee, you guys is getting a little picky and shimmy after all.
It's the law. We're just here to protect you and your customers.
Okay, Mr. Hobson, you have 14 days
after we give you this 410 citation to clear everything up.
Then we'll be back to check it out, okay?
All right. I guess I have kind of let things get a little run down,
but, you know, it would cost so much to fix it, you know what I mean?
Yeah, good.
You know, I've been thinking, I might just sell this place, you know.
I mean, business ain't been all that good anyways.
Is that right?
Yeah. I got a brother up in Oregon.
He wants I should come up there and stay with him,
and I think I might do that as soon as I find a buyer.
Yeah, well, good luck.
Well, hey, listen, you don't know anybody like to buy the silicone mine, do you?
No, no, I don't think so.
Okay. Well, listen, any time you're in the neighborhood, drop by,
I'll make you some chili size, okay?
Right. Okay, yeah.
So long. See you later. Yeah, whatever.
What a dump.
Really, it's a wonder we didn't get a food poisoning run here.
I wonder who'd buy a place like that.
A total idiot.
Uh...
Squad 51, man injured.
2060 Martin Street.
Cross Street, Firestone.
2060 Martin.
Ambulance responding.
Time up. 1226.
Squad 51.
Fire.
Fire.
Fire.
Fire.
Oh, Mr. Jacobs.
He was fixing my lawnmower.
And then...
It doesn't have a karate.
No karate, Johnny. No karate.
No respiration.
Oh. Roy, look at here.
Looks like a puncture wound.
Yeah, probably something thrown up by that lawnmower over there.
Yeah, looks like it.
Rampart to Squad 51, how do you read?
Go ahead, 51.
Uh, Rampart, we have a male.
Approximately 30 years old.
He's comatose.
He has a puncture wound right to the left of the sternum.
Looks like a, uh, a projectile from a lawnmower.
51, it may be a heart wound.
Do not use cardiac compression.
I repeat, do not use cardiac compression.
Send me a strip as soon as you haven't patched in.
10-4, Rampart, coming your way.
V-Fib 51, defibrillate immediately.
It'll be all right.
Roy, wait a minute, I got to transfer.
Wait a minute.
Okay, ready?
Wait a minute.
One, two, three, hit him.
All right, he's back in sinus rhythm.
Rampart, victim is in sinus rhythm.
Strip coming your way.
I'll get his pulse.
Okay, I'll get BP on him.
Pulse is 120 and threading.
Respiration is 16.
What you got?
90 over 60.
Okay.
Already have an IV here.
Rampart, vital signs are BP 90 over 60.
Pulse is 120 and threading and respiration is 16.
51, start an IV with D5W.
Give him 2 amps sodium bicarb, then oxygen.
Continue monitoring EKG and transport as soon as possible.
10-4, Rampart.
Joe, can you give me a hand?
Sure, what's that?
A possible heart wound.
We may have to do a paracardiosynthesis or a thoracotomy.
I'll send a paracardial aspiration and treatment too.
Okay, good.
Dick's alert OR for a possible heart injury.
Let's get changed, huh?
Still 90 over 60.
All right.
Ambulance.
Okay.
Okay, we're patched up.
Okay.
He was helping me.
Such a nice man.
We've got a pretty severe puncture in the chest here, so...
Ready?
Okay, wait a minute.
Ma'am, where's he living?
Upstairs.
But his wife isn't home.
She works and the kids are at school.
Poor Mr. Jacobs.
He's been out of work and now this.
He's gonna be okay. I wouldn't worry about him.
I hope so.
All right, in with him.
All right.
Let's get him on the straighter here.
There we go.
Okay.
All set up, Dix?
The ORs are tied up in that vehicle collision.
All right, we'll use treatment too.
Set it up with a thoracotomy tray
and get me an anesthesiologist down here stat.
By the way.
Rampart, the victim regained consciousness,
became agitated and then collapsed.
He pulses 120 and thready.
BP is now 70 over 55.
His neck veins are distended.
There's a strip on the way.
10-4.
Sounds like he's tamping out.
Yeah.
His EKG is fairly normal with low voltage complexes.
51, it sounds like cardiac tamponade.
What's your ETA?
About two minutes.
51, start an isopateronol drip
with one milligram isopateronol
and 500 cc's D5W.
10-4.
10-4.
This is gonna be close, Kel.
You know it.
Treatment two.
Okay, well, let's go.
The neck veins are distended and the pressure's real low.
All right, get him on the table as quickly as possible.
Okay.
One, two, three.
Hericardiosis needle.
Let's prep his chest.
Doc, you need anything else?
No, go ahead.
Carol, start all the other ringers.
His pulse is 150 and thready.
Blood pressure is 50 over 45.
Respiration's are 16.
I removed 400 cc's of blood,
but the pressure continues to drop.
He's still bleeding into the pericardium.
Let's get his chest open.
Carol, no time to scrub gloves.
Scalpel.
Sponges.
Rib retractors.
Sponge.
Sponges.
The pericardium is distended and tense.
Pickups.
Scissors.
All right, get the suction ready, Joe.
I'm gonna open the pericardium.
The pericardium is open.
There's at least another 800 cc's of blood suction.
Sponge.
All right, there it is.
Looks like a piece of nail.
Penetrated the pericardium and the myocardium.
Pickups.
That was close.
I think he's gonna be okay.
Let's get that chest closed.
Sponge.
Spooners.
Exciting day.
Two runs, ten fire inspections, and we blew the lunch.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
They're all starting to run together in my head.
Except for that hot dog stand.
That's in a class all by itself.
Yeah, I wonder who's gonna stick with that place.
I mean, it's not much of an investment.
What are you guys talking about?
Oh, we're talking about a big business opportunity.
Big, you know? Yeah, really big.
Yeah.
All right, whoever gets Davy's dogs is really gonna clean up.
Yeah, well, they're gonna have to clean up to clean up.
You guys got a chance to buy Davy's dogs?
Maybe. Why?
Well, I just think the guy has a gold mine.
A gold mine?
What do you mean, gold mine?
I stopped there a couple of times a week for breakfast.
Chili dogs, the best in town.
Breakfast.
Chili dogs? Yeah.
See, he's got a secret recipe or something.
I don't know what it is. It's good, though.
You're talking about the same place?
Yep.
There's four and one is five.
Five, what are you doing?
I gave you a ten.
Are you sure? Yep.
Whose picture was on it?
I almost got you that, didn't I?
Yeah, well...
Thanks.
Well, I don't know if this was such a good idea.
Oh, look, we had to eat anyway, for heaven's sakes.
Besides, Chet said this was the best chili dog in town.
Yeah, well, Chet isn't exactly a cordial blue gourmet.
There.
These are really good.
Fantastic.
Man, Chet was right for a change.
These are incredible.
Man, whoever buys this is gonna have a gold mine.
I think I just figured out what idiot we were talking about.
Oh, come on, I'm serious. Look, properly run, this place could be a gold mine.
Yeah, a very unsanitary gold mine.
But they do have good hot dogs.
They sure are.
I wonder who's on the tent.
Grant?
Carl? Yeah?
Where can I put him? He's here from the jail detention.
What's wrong? Gunshot wound.
I fell on some broken glass. There was this dude shooting...
Save it. This is a hospital, not a courtroom.
Come on, I'll show you.
Let's go.
Doctor and treatment, one, please.
Listen, lady, you're wasting your time. I want to go back to detention.
Don't give the lady any problems.
Because nobody's gonna open up my leg and nobody's gonna take anything out of it.
Tell him not to touch me. Nobody's gonna look at this.
What's the problem?
He was burglarizing an auto porch yard.
The owner surprised him and shot him when he ran.
We caught him after he climbed over the fence and...
Collapsed in the alley.
I wasn't in that yard.
I was headed down the alley when I heard the shooting on the other side of the fence.
And I cut myself when I hit the ground.
All right, uncuff him and wait outside.
No, Doctor. Look, he's not gonna go anyplace.
I'll show you where you can open.
All right, lie down.
I'm not lying down.
Look, I'm your doctor.
Everything you say to me is confidential.
Nobody can force me to testify against you.
Now, lie down and let me take a look at that so I can prove it.
Now, I'm not lying down.
I can prove it.
Now, I'm not lying down.
I can prove it.
All right, I'm gonna be right down.
Good afternoon, sir.
Good afternoon.
Hello.
I'm going to call the police.
Now lie down and let me take a look at that so we can see what you're facing.
Gunshot wound.
Looks like a.22 caliber.
What happened?
Well, I needed a new clutch and the old man wouldn't give me credit.
I gotta keep my truck running for my business.
You ever been in jail before?
But they can't get me on this one without the bullet.
Looks like they got a pretty good case against you even without the bullet.
It's the only evidence they have. Without it, it's just my word against the old man's.
Couple of days I'll be fine, out on detention.
You go back to detention with this bullet in your leg and the only way you'll come out is on a slab.
What are you talking about?
That bullet's in the vicinity of the femoral artery.
That's the one that carries most of the blood to that leg.
I'm surprised you didn't rupture it just walking in here.
You go back to detention, I'm willing to bet that bullet will sever the artery.
Fine, then you can treat me if that happens. I'll take my chances now.
If that artery severs, it'll be a gusher.
Chances are you'll bleed to death before anyone can get to you.
You're trying to scare me.
No, I'm trying to help you.
That's raw exposed tissue with a foreign substance in it.
Even if the artery doesn't sever, chances are it'll get infected.
And a few days later you'll lose consciousness.
And then we don't need your permission to treat you.
The only trouble is we'll probably be taking your leg off instead of taking the bullet out.
All right, Dicks. Let's send him up to observation.
Possible surgery. And tell him to immobilize that leg.
There's a foreign substance position to sever a main artery.
I'll send for security and take care of the paperwork with the police.
Thanks.
Hey, wait. I would have paid the old man for those parts. Honest.
Yeah, well, tell him that. Tell the court that.
It's about time you started becoming responsible for your own actions.
Will you wait?
Do you think they'd listen to me?
I mean, believe me.
Well, you could try. It'll be a start.
How soon... how soon can you take the bullet out?
I can take it out this afternoon.
Thanks, Doctor.
I mean that...
I got a plan here that will wipe that smug look right off your face.
No, that's not smug. That's mustard.
Look, I've got a plan.
I've got a plan.
I've got a plan.
I've got a plan.
I've got a plan.
I've got a plan.
I've got a plan.
I've got a plan.
Look, we have 18 guys at the station, right?
If they all pool their money together, we can have it and call it Station 51 Enterprises.
How much are they going to have to put into the Station 51 Enterprises?
Well, near as I can figure out, with your money and mine, $2,000 or $3,000.
You figure $2,000 or $3,000 is going to buy that place, huh?
Look, all we have to do is get a second mortgage on it.
Then that way we can come up with the initial down payment.
Pretty smart, huh?
You know what the interest is on the second mortgage?
Who's going to run the place if you could buy it?
I'm coming to that.
We have 18 guys at the station, right?
Right.
12 guys are always off.
Right.
What we do is we figure out a work schedule, we look at all the guys' days off,
and that way not everybody has to spend all their free time down there.
Gee, that's a great way to spend a day off.
Roy, I don't understand your attitude.
Do you want to be a fireman all your life?
Yes.
Huh.
Don't you want to be a risk fireman?
I just want to stop you from making me poorer.
Huh.
Huh.
Boy, that's a bad attitude.
Huh.
That's a real bad attitude.
Squad 51, baby, call breathing. 1220 Hayward Avenue, cross street, Lincoln. 1220 Hayward Avenue, timeout 2230.
Squad 51, KMG 365.
Fire department.
In here, hurry.
Oh, thank God you're here.
Okay, let me have her.
He's barely breathing.
All right.
There you are.
Okay.
Okay, sweetheart.
She was fine when I gave her a thumper, but when I learned just now to check her, she was weak.
Relax. How old is she?
She's 18 months, last week.
She had a checkup then.
Rampart, this is Squad 51. How do you rate?
Go ahead, 51.
She had a respiration of 65.
Rampart, we have a baby about 18 months old.
Okay, there you are.
Breathing difficulties, respiration 65.
Sorry.
51, check for foreign bodies aspirated and establish an adequate airway for ventilation.
Don't wait for ambulance. Transport immediately, Squad.
Do not wait for the ambulance. 10-4, Rampart.
Want to go to Peds?
Right, Peds Airway.
All right.
Good check, Captain.
Yeah, she's okay. She's clear.
All right, here.
Let's just slip this in.
Come on, sweetheart. She's gonna be okay.
She's gonna be okay.
We're gonna have to take her to the hospital.
Is she gonna be all right?
Poor baby.
Watch her. She may spit that back out.
Don't let her spit it out.
Where are you taking her?
Rampart General. Do you know where it is?
Yes, I do. I'll meet you there.
All right. All right. You want to open this door for me?
Okay.
I'll be there in a minute.
All right.
You got her?
There, buddy. This way.
Okay.
She stopped breathing.
We're almost there.
Room one.
Okay.
Laryngeal edema.
Lungsertive pediatric and atrachial tube inventilate.
Rachel, I'd ventilate this.
Dix, let's give her two milligrams of dexamethasone.
How's she doing?
Collar's better.
Respiration seems to be improving.
Let's hope this helps.
My baby, how is she?
Ma'am, this is Dr. Early. He took care of your child.
She's dead?
Your daughter's not entirely well, but she's out of danger.
We've got her on our respirator.
She's not dead?
Of course not.
I'll take you upstairs.
We can see her through the window.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you both.
But what went wrong? I don't understand.
We don't either.
It happens to infants from time to time.
Despite all the research, why, we just can't explain it.
You're very fortunate.
Oh, I'm so grateful.
Now, if you'd excuse me, I really...
I'll take the clothes.
This way.
Thank you.
I still think it's a stupid idea.
Stupid idea? Are you kidding me?
Seventeen guys down here, seventeen names.
They don't think that it's stupid.
How does it feel to be the last big holdout, huh?
You read the names over, and then either you're in or you're out.
I'm out.
Boy, I can't believe my ears.
I mean, you've got to be crazy.
Roy.
Cap, will you talk to Roy?
Right. Roy?
Yeah?
What am I talking to him about?
About the hot dog stand.
Oh, right, right. Roy, it's a terrific idea.
It really is. It can't miss.
Even my wife thinks it's a great idea.
It's a great idea.
Station 51, Station 8, Engine 15,
structure fire at the chemical plant,
6300 watts per watt,
cross street, victory, time out, 815.
Station 51, AMG 365.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
We've got a normal pentane leak up on the roof.
It's burning pretty good.
Okay, evacuate everybody.
Get them off the other side of the building.
We've got a normal pentane fire up on top.
We'll go with the pack and a two and a half above ground.
Stalky will have to mule the line back.
LA, engine 51, that's seen.
We have a normal pentane fire on the roof.
Have Truck 8 set up a ladder pipe operation on the west side.
Engine 51.
Okay.
We're going to have to shut off that main valve.
Engine 8, H-T-51, shut off the power to the pump.
Engine 15, send my truck in.
Bring two and a half to the roof on the east.
Okay,
pressure.
Engine 51, H-T-51, charge the line.
Okay, crank it open, boy.

Pull it up.
Okay.
Pull it up.
Okay.
Pull it up.
Okay, pull it up, man.
Pull it up.
Okay, right in the area, man.
Okay, right in the area.
You stay with us, Roy.
All right.
We can interrupt you any place and if the pump doesn't get shut down,
we'll have to shut it down.
Okay, we're going to have to shut it down.
Okay, come on, man.
Okay, stay here.
Okay, we're going to shut it down.
Okay, we're going to shut it down.
Okay, we're going to shut it down.
Okay, we're going to shut it down.
Okay, we're going to shut it down.
Okay, we're going to shut it down.
Good morning, man.
Good morning.
Morning.
Morning.
What's the matter with you?
Huh?
I said, what's wrong with you?
Nothing's wrong with me.
I feel just great.
Anyone know something else?
I want in on a deal.
You want in on...
Yeah.
Do?
Yeah.
Joanne and I talked about it last night and I was wrong.
I think it's a good idea.
You do?
Fantastic.
Right here.
Put your janitor right there.
What do you think, Cap?
About what?
About the hot dog stand.
He wants in.
About the hot dog stand.
Yeah.
It burned down last shift.
Oh, quit kidding around, Cap.
I wish I was in the hot dog stand.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Cap.
I wish I was.
Look, right there.
Read it and weep.
A grease fire.
Places a heap of charcoal.
A total loss.
Well, I guess this is the end of Station 51 Enterprises.
Yeah.
Huh!
Oh!
I think I'll see you in a bit.
Hey, enjoy it.
Huh.
Huh.
