SHOW INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
       "Emergency!" is a show that had it all. Drama,
action, realism and a sense of humor that always
knew how to break the tension. "Emergency!" was
another of the high-quality, reality-based dramas
created by law enforcement cognate and producer
Jack Webb. It focused on the day-to-day operations
of fictional Station 51, and the interwoven dramas
that ensued. The action was divided equally between
on-site response with Squad 51's intrepid rescue
team (usually headed up by paramedics John Gage
 and Roy DeSoto), and the follow-up drama back at
 Rampart hospital, where Dr. Bracket, Nurse McCall
 and their trained professionals performed their
 life-saving duties. Every imaginable crisis was
handled professionally and dutifully from a
 parachutist stuck in power wires to a kitty stuck in a
tree.
