EMERGENCY! Fire Station 51(LA County Station 127) Tour

[@chalksta5370]

wow i watched the tv show here in Australia as a little kid in the 70's it dosent look much different now to what it did in the 70's thank you for sharing .....awesome

[@SummerlinRealtor]

Wow! Amazing how they pay tribute to the show 50 years later! The guys are super cool to allow people to tour the station! 10-4 51!

[@trynsurviven2440]

That was awesome. Emergency was my favorite show back then and I still watch today when I can. Who could ever forget KMG-365??

[@smorris281]

LA County still has that license, but its not used anymore because the fire dept switched to UHF.

[@Dan-uv5lw]

I use it as some passwords because it is encrypted.. Emergency is on COZI TV in New England.

[@daviddietrich9449]

That is an awesome tour. That station is over 50 years old, and it looks like they really keep the place up.

[@itsnotme07]

Somehow this came up on my feed. Wicked awesome! Big fan of the show back in the 70's. Hilarious that with buildings now around the station, makes it look much smaller. Thanks for sharing and thanks to the Firefighters at Station 127 for their service!

[@beloitgrom7850]

Enjoyed making it 😊

[@geraldwilson681]

I was a young man when this debuted on TV. Loved every episode of this. Later on I became a volunteer firefighter because this inspired me to protect and serve!! Respect to Station 51 and it's firefighters past and present!!

[@manhoot]

Did you ever administer an IV with d5w?

[@dougm6146]

Yeah me too, I was five in 1972 which I think the series debuted.

[@geraldwilson681]

@@dougm6146 The best aspect of this show was it showed the combining of firefighter/paramedic response out of the same station. This truly set the stage for the future fire service we currently have. In the old days if someone was in cardiac or respiratory distress waiting for the ambulance was mostly a tragic outcome.

[@davidu4758]

Glad to see the bunk room. In many older stories that area was off-limits to outsiders. Glad to see LACoFD members are glad to offer tours to John Q Public.

[@garydaniels5495]

Best kind of public relations there is.

[@Viperboeing757]

This was my favorite show when I was a kid , along with Adam 12 . I can still hear that series of tones going off when they would get a call , and the more tones there were , the bigger the Emergency . Very cool video . Brought back a lot of memories . 👍👍

[@truckerray7533]

Yeah, when the call went out to "Squad 51", it was just the paramedic truck by itself. If the call was "Engine 51"( which was rare), it was the big fire truck by itself. When the call was "Station 51", both big fire truck & paramedic truck went out together! Loved the show & still do. I grew up wathijg it & now i get to watch it at night now on Retro-TV😃👍🏼

[@johnriley8713]

My brother and I LOVED it, as little kids of the 70s. We never called the show "Emergency", we called it "Squat-51"

[@westwasbest]

This was just like going back in time! I watched almost every episode of this show as I grew up in the '70s and enjoyed every part of this video, thank you so much for visiting and sharing it with all of us, and also thanks to the gentleman that took the time to show you around the firehouse, sometimes it's nice when things don't change.

[@mineplow1000]

Dating myself a smidge, but recall the show fondly. And pull-tab sodas/beers will kill you as fast as quicksand will. Thanks for the tour!

[@Gpunk19]

I grew up watching Emergency and still watch the re-runs now because of this show I became a paramedic and always enjoyed my job until I couldn't do it anymore

[@bmasters1981]

I didn't grow up seeing it, but still have enjoyed it (the way I've seen it has been on DVD-- one of only a few select shows that, IMO, are truly worth your disc dollar).

[@louiscostanzo8772]

It is so cool that these firefighters actually let you just come in and take you on a tour of the building. I imagine after a while would get old doing the same tour for different people all the time but it looks like these guys are just gracious as ever. Thank you for this tour. As you went along I was looking for little things like the red strobe light that would come on when there was a call. It's almost like that station is Frozen in Time except for the updated equipment in the flat screen TVs.

[@dfirth224]

And on the show there were NO computers or cell phones.

[@HelloMoto1991]

One of my favorite shows growing up watching with my dad every week.

[@lindaszatkowski321]

[@madhatter5331]

These were positive shows for us kids, Chips was another favorite of mine and imagined I was Jon. Thanks for bringing me back.

[@evankeal]

Props to LA County for keeping it around for us relatively as is and letting people come by. Thanks for the upload too. I was a 6-9 year old Emergency! junkie. The Squad vehicle is my favorite vehicle of all time. There's something about its curves. I think I mainly caught early syndicated reruns at 4AM on Saturday or Sunday mornings in the mid and late 70s but not too sure. Anyone else catch it at odd hours back then?

[@christopher88719]

That fireman who took you on the tour was incredible. He seemed to appreciate the fire station's history and was welcoming to fans.

[@beloitgrom7850]

Everyone at the station was very nice :)

[@tomd5010]

Great video touring the show's Firehouse. I suspect not many these days appreciate the true legacy of the show Emergency. Prior to it being on television, addressing medical emergencies was done by scooping patients up and getting them quickly to a hospital for treatment. It might be by a fire department, private ambulance or even a funeral hearse. The show proved that paramedics could be trained who could triage patients and provide initial stabilizing treatment on the way to the hospital. Now that's common just about everywhere.

[@dfirth224]

This is correct. Before this show there were only a handful of large cities that had paramedics. People watched this show and asked their local politicians, "Why can't we have paramedics?" The first paramedics in the 1970s were ex-Viet Nam War combat medics. They already had the training and had seen everything on the battle fields.

[@albertvieira6635]

I always loved watching TV series rampart 51 Outstanding nice tour If I ever make it to California I wanna go to that firehouse The person with the camera job well done Outstanding Double thumbs up

[@Mike-0201]

This has got to be the best video on KZbin for Station 127! Has any one ever noticed while watching the show the difference in size between the real station (when they filmed on location) and the set station (at universal sound stage)? The real station is so much larger, but at the time when I originally watched it I never noticed it (of course I was between 9-15). I when I re-watch it I pick it off so fast!! This is so cool!! These Firefighters are so welcoming. Can't imagine how they felt when they got their papers to report for duty at Station 127!!

[@beloitgrom7850]

Had a blast making it. Thank you 😊

[@kingofnothing1433]

Emergency is the TV show that created the idea of paramedics. Man oh man, just how cool is it to be a real firefighter working at the most famous fire station in the country.

[@smorris281]

Paramedic programs were already in existence by the time Emergency premiered on TV. 1 program in Miami, and the other in LA County. Both started in the late 60's. Emergency simply showcased paramedics and help spread interest in paramedics and EMS across the county.

[@federationmedia9117]

I toured some halls 20+ years ago. LA County, their fire and rescue, is a world class organization, with leadership in management, that impressed upon me how important "legacy" is to the profession. The weather in your video gave me a sense of nostalgia, too, as it was identical to mine. I played with firetruck toys because of that 70's t v show🚒, too. Great video!

[@Kotv6Vfg1]

Many thanks for a wonderful tour. I loved watching "Emergency" in the 70's, so many wonderful memories.

Thanks, nice video! And thanks to the crew of Station 127 for the tour. I grew up watching Emergency. Spent over 10 years in the fire service. Hugely inspired by that show.

Very cool you got to see that up close like that! I used to watch this show religiously when it aired on Sat Nite. I usually watched it with my Grandma. The Mary Tyler Moore show came on after it but I usually fell asleep on the couch by the time that show was half way done, so she would pick me up and put me to bed. I LOVED Sat Nites and spending time with my Grandma. Some of the best memories of my childhood. Thanks for making this vid. It brought back a lot of memories!

[@TheGuitarman1968]

Awesome video! As a young kid growing up in the 70's, "Emergency!" was (and still is) one of my favorite TV shows, along with "Adam-12," "The Six Million Dollar Man" and "Battlestar Galactica." We have all 7 Seasons (DVD) of "Emergency!" (along with the tele-movies) on a PLEX Server, and my wife and I still watch "Emergency!" regularly. "Emergency!" was/is a great realistic TV show without all of the fake drama or reality garbage of today's television shows. It is also great to see that they try to keep "Station 51" still looking somewhat like it originally did after all of these years. Although, those giant flat screen TVs are a lot better than that old CRT television that Johnny was always "repairing."....lol. It is also cool to see that the actual firemen take the time to show the station to die-hard fans. Someday, we will have to drive down to Carson and check out the station. Thanks for the video, it brought back some great memories. KMG-365! 🙂

Met Engineer Stoker in the mid 80's he was stationed at LA County 21 in Lawndale. We were in the unincorporated portion of Hawthorne which at that time did have their own fire department but only service the actual incorporated area. I had a bit of a mishap with a pair of scissors. Nothing serious, just had a bandaged finger for a week. At some point after we left in 1993 Hawthorne ended dropping their fire service and went with LA County Fire.

[@michaelbauers8800]

Very cool! Hasn't changed much ( exterior.) Interior was a TV set, and not sure how accurate it was. Interesting to see Cinadar's (sp?) name on the station, one of the show's creators I think? I am also from Wisconsin, well, I lived there quite awhile. La Crosse.

[@bmasters1981]

Indeed so-- Cinader (that's the spelling of his last name) had this station renamed for him in '85, three years after his passing (he passed on in '82 while doing Knight Rider), because he was the creator and executive producer (showrunner), IIRC; that's why his name is on that historical marker out front, and why the station is called the Robert A. Cinader Memorial Fire Station. Also, Universal, the studio behind it (the late Jack Webb's Mark VII label being IAW them) has an actual Station 51 on their premises, to honor Emergency!'s legacy.

[@biketech60]

Probably the most influential American TV show of all time . There were only 20 EMS units in North America in 1972 , 10 years later 90% of population within 10 minutes of an EMS unit
