45 Years Ago Emergency! Debuts On NBC

On January 15th, 1972 Emergency debuted. The series stars Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe as two specially trained firefighters, who formed Squad 51, part of the then innovative field of paramedics, who were authorized to provide initial emergency medical care to victims of accidents, fires, and other incidents in the field in order to stabilize them for transport to medical facilities. The plot of the initial pilot film described the passing of state legislation, eventually signed by then State Governor Ronald Reagan, and was called “The Wedsworth-Townsend Act.”[1] It authorized paramedic units to operate in the field without conventional medical personnel on site, albeit in radio contact with an assigned hospital. Squad 51 worked in concert with the fictional Rampart General Hospital medical staff (portrayed by Robert Fuller, Julie London, and Bobby Troup), which took over each patient's case from the paramedics who worked in the field.

While we may poke fun at the antics of “Gage and Desoto” this TV show set the foundation for a fire based approach to providing paramedic care and ultimately increase service to the taxpayer. Randy Mantooth (firefighter/paramedic John Gage) went on to become an advocate for firefighters and paramedics after the series ended. He continued, as of late October 2014, to give speeches and make appearances all over the country at special events. There are many other positive factors that have put the fire service where it is today when it comes to providing advanced life support as well as many additional specialties including Hazardous Materials response and recognition, Aircraft Crash Rescue Firefighting, Wildland Firefighting, Air Rescue and Urban Search and Rescue just to name a few. Today #Local935 honors “Gage and Desoto” for their contribution to the safety of the #Communties we now serve.
