Thanks, Terri, for the idea. . .it was mentioned to me that it would be nice to have a place for writers to access the basic facts mentioned in the show Emergency! for the purpose of reference if they wanted it. So my thanks to all those who helped compile what we have thus far. Look for further updates as we get them and for now these are pretty much in order, but The Boat, I wasn't sure of.
Thank you Jill H., Vanessa, Wanda H., Ziggy, Jane L., Linda2, Wanda C., Terribv, Lorraine, Peggy B. and Pam for your help. :o) Added thanks to Jen, Purry, Sharon and Heidi B.! And also Liz T. and Linda T.! (No, they aren't related <G>) Thanks to Cap for the added inputs! And to Debbie for some info. :o)
Just The Facts of E!
For reference purposes
(Last updated 01/06/08))
Many thanks again to Liz T. for all the information she pulled from the eps earlier. This page would not have been updated as often without her hard work. I'll do my best to add more still. :o)
Map of Carson with Rampart and station locations for Emergency!
This is a great reference for fan fiction use in determining locations. However, keep in mind that in the series, Station 36 was mentioned as being pretty far from Station 51. In the episode 'Not Available', Johnny and Roy complained about having to go so far to cover a run in 36's territory and it took them quite awhile to get there. Going by the map it looks close.

Current overhead view of Station 127 now (aka Station 51):
This will give you a good idea of the station's location in relation to the 405 Freeway and direct surroundings. Just remember all these buildings around it may not be exactly how they were then. For anyone who isn't familiar with the station's appearance, the larger view has a red mark in the center of the roof for easy recognition.

-Roy's paramedic training class was
out of Harbor General and had 6 guys in it. Johnny's class was the first at

Fun Fact:
Every time Roy calls Rampart, he says
"Rampart, this is Squad 51 (Rescue 51, County 51), how do you read?
Johnny just about always says "Rampart, this is Squad 51 (Rescue 51,County 51),
how do you read ME? He almost always says me.
This is what the name badges for Johnny and Roy say: (Thanks Vanessa and Jen B. for the information!)
J. GAGE, PARAMEDIC
Mobile Intensive Care Unit.
R. DE SOTO, PARAMEDIC
Mobile Intensive Care Unit
An MICU form is what is signed when victim refuses treatment at the scene.
An MICU conference was mentioned at least once in the series. (Thanks Jill H. for the info!)
Badge numbers for Johnny and Roy: (thanks, Heidi, for the info!)
#174 Firefighter/Paramedic Roy DeSoto ( I have been made aware that Roy's badge number may actually have been #141. I have a picture of the badges that was sent to me and in them Roy's is #174. And it's listed on a TV Show badge number site as that. However, apparently someone tied in with the show had an obsession with things adding up to the number 6 (ie: the squad plate, Johnny's badge number), and that the listing of #174 was in error. So I'd say although it's probably #141, use your own discretion if you are using the badge number in a story. (Thanks to farrahbo for this latest tidbit of info.)
#330 Firefighter/Paramedic John Gage
(thanks again to Heidi for the info)

-Johnny and Roy get invited to a Hollywood bash
-This isn't a fact, just too funny not to mention: Roy decides he would like to have Vic's autograph...for Joanne and the kids. Johnny doesn't approve because it isn't cool to ask. When they go into the treatment room to see Vic, he calls them the greatest, wants to know what he can do for them. Johnny begins to tell him it's just their job, when Roy jumps in and asks for Vic's autograph...for Johnny. He then tells Vic that Johnny was too shy to ask. Just an example of the interaction between these two friends. lol (Thank Liz for pointing this funny interaction out)

Transition:
-And here's something that could be apocyphal, but I always figured Johnny
attended at least some HS in the LA area or he couldn't have known that trainee
who ran track with him. ***It's been brought to my
attention that Gil Robinson and Johnny Gage could have attended high school
together on a reservation. In my opinion the odds of this are very unlikely. But
if you want to take a story in that direction, go for it. :o)

-Roberson eventually comes around to give the paramedics more credit for what they do
Interesting point made by Marty P.: vending machines appear in the lounge at Rampart only when they are part of the storyline. There's this ep and the one where Dixie gets her hand stuck in the coffee machine.

and sends him home, never asking the mother if he had his Polio vaccine. The boy
