05x12 - On Camera

[bunniefuu]

[RADIO CHATTER]

I'm Paula Hughes with
People Who Make the News.

The Mobile Intensive
Care Team of Squad 51,

Paramedics John Gage
and Roy DeSoto.

We'll be following them and
the firefighters of Station 51

as they respond to
typical emergency calls

and perform their valuable
services to our community.

Okay, George, save it.

When do we get them
playing checkers?

Not today's firefighters,
George. They're action guys.

Right, fellows?

Uh, yeah, right.

In fact, some of our rescues,
when they call for them,

we see quite a bit of action.

And from what I hear, you see
quite a bit of action off duty, too.

Like motorcycling, hang gliding,
skydiving, that sort of thing?

Yeah, well, me, personally,
I go rock climbing, hiking...

That's what I mean,
it's real macho.

Maybe we could get some
pictures of you lifting weights later.

Sure, why not? We got a good physical
fitness program here at the station.

Yeah, I know,
you have to take regular tests.

Right now, I'd like to get some
sh*ts of the equipment that you carry,

like the bio-com
and the Jaws of Life.

You've been doing
your homework, huh?

[CHUCKLING] Right.

I have to keep sharp for my job,

just like you guys have
to build muscles for yours.

Miss Hughes? Could I see you for a minute,
please?

Sure, Captain.
Excuse me, fellows.

She sure looks good.

Huh! She looks as good in
person as she does on TV.

She ought to.

She won three gold medals
in the Olympics for swimming.

You know,
she reminds me of a PE teacher I once had.

Yeah, I know. I got
a feeling she thinks

we're nothing but a bunch of he-men,
you know?

Yeah, well, so does my mother.

You know, she thinks that all
firefighters are mucho macho.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Well, you have to admit,
we are in good shape.

Yeah, I know,
but there's more to it than just brawn.

I mean, we got some brains, too.

What's wrong with him?
I don't know.

Okay, I got your
clearances for you.

If you could take one, and I'll keep
a couple copies for myself here.

Now, you can ride in the squad,

but you're gonna have
to follow in your own car,

so please obey all the traffic laws
and the speed regulations, okay?

You know the district?
I'll probably b*at you there.

Don't feel like you have to.

Now, there's to be no
filming on private property

or of any victims being treated.

We can't have their privacy violated
without their permission, okay?

Don't worry, Captain,
we've been thoroughly briefed downtown.

Good.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

DISPATCHER: Squad 51,
man unconscious, 874 Culver.

Cross street, Third Avenue.

874 Culver. Time out, 08:20.

STANLEY: Squad 51, KMG 365.

[SIRENS WAILING]

Oh, hurry, please.

Okay, just hold on.
Just a minute.

What do we got? It's
my son. I heard a crash,

and I found him on the
floor. He's unconscious.

A science student, huh?

Well, it started out as a hobby,
and the first thing we knew,

there wasn't room for the car.

Pulse.

Is he all right?

We don't know yet.

What's his name? Gary.

Looks like he just fainted.

Rampart, this is Squad 51.

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we got
a male victim here.

Nineteen. Age?

Age nineteen.

Uh, victim is diaphoretic
and his breathing is very rapid.

Stand by for vital signs.

His pulse is 110.

Respiration is 24 and rapid.

Pulse is 110.
Respiration is 24, rapid.

The patient is
responsive to pain

and he's starting to regain
a little consciousness.

Johnny.

Johnny!

There's a snake behind you.
Don't move.

KELLY ON RADIO.' Go ahead, 51.

Go ahead, 51.

[SIRENS WAILING]

DISPATCHER ON RADIO:


toxic chemicals are stored
in a tanker.

Use caution.

KELLY ON RADIO: Squad 51,
this is Rampart. Can you send me some EKG?

JOHNNY ON RADIO:


We're sending you a strip.
Vitals to follow.

Pulse is 160. The victim
is in extreme pain, Rampart.

[INTERCOM BEEPING]

This patient is in V-fib.

Rampart, we have lost the
victim's pulse. Beginning CPR.

[RAPID BEEPING]

We're defibrillating victim,
Rampart.

Rampart, we've defibrillated
victim. Decent sinus rhythm.

JOE ON RADIO: Administer 2 amps
sodium bicarb and insert an airway.

KELLY ON RADIO: Start an IV,


DIXIE: Squad 51, continue monitoring
Vitals and transport immediately.

JOHNNY ON RADIO:
We're on our way, Rampart.

ROY: Stand still.

Hey, Gary, hold still.
Gary, hold still.

Yeah, don't move, hold still.





[GARY GROANING]

Don't move.

Don't know what could have happened.
They were coming in loud and clear.

KELLY: 51, we'll stand by.

[GROANS]

Hey, Gary. Gary, hold still.

All right.

We got something to put him in?

Oh, here's a bag.

All right.

If he was bitten anywhere,
there'd be a mark.

I don't get it.

Nothing over here.

Nothing?

Nothing down on the pants.

Gary, can you hear me? Gary?

Gary, were you
bitten by a snake?

Roy, there it is.

Yeah. Don't look like too much.

It's enough.

Snake. Snake bit me.
Get some cold packs.

All right, just relax.

A snake.

Snake bit me.

All right, just calm down,
calm down.

Take it easy, okay?

I thought I had him,
but he bit me.

JOHNNY: Gary, take it easy,
calm down, okay?

Just settle down.
Gary, settle down.

Rampart.

This is Squad 51.

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we ran into a little
trouble here. Sorry for the delay.

Our victim's been bitten
by an unknown-type snake.



Uh... About 10
or 15 minutes ago.

Are there any signs of tissue
destruction or symptoms from the patient?

That's affirmative,
Rampart. Uh...

He was bitten on
the left forearm.

Uh, he has a slight
swelling there.

We've applied a
tourniquet and cold pack.


D5W in the opposite arm TKO.

Transport as soon as possible.


did anybody get a good look at that snake?

We have the snake, Rampart.



10-4, Rampart.

Dix, we're going to need a herpetologist
to make an identification on that snake.

Okay?

All righty, let's clear the way here.
We got a patient coming through.

Thank you.

GARY: What's gonna happen
to me? Am I gonna be all right?

JOHNNY: You're gonna
be fine. You'll be okay.

You don't happen to know what
kind of snake bit you, do you?

No, I've been trying
to figure it out.

It didn't have any
rattles or anything.

Yeah? Now, don't worry, darling.

I'll just get the car.
I'll be right there.

Oh, I thought you were gonna
get here before us, George.

I would have.

Would have, only I got
a ticket for speeding.

Well, we couldn't have filmed here anyway,
private property.

Take it easy next time,
okay, buddy?

Where are you going now?

I gotta see a man about a snake.

I'll meet you
at the station. Okay?

WOMAN ON PA: Emergency
in one. Emergency in one.

Wait here. I'll be right back.

Hey,
are you gonna leave me here holding the...

Okay.

Now keep your arm low.

All right.

All right, Gary,
you take it easy, okay?

They're gonna take
good care of you, okay?

I'll see you. Thank you.

Johnny.

Hi, I'm Dr. Brackett. Hi.

Had a tangle with a snake, huh?

He was pretty fast.

Yeah, well,
a lot of professionals have found that out.

The paramedics said you didn't
know what kind of a snake it was.

I picked it up
out on the desert.

Sort of looked like a rattler.

Dix, would you get
a lab man up here?

I want a CBC, and a pro time,
and a platelet count.

Also, get me a snake bite
kit with a suction device.

I wanna do a skin test
for horse serum sensitivity.

Tell the lab I want those
blood tests every four hours.

All right.

Puffing up a little.

Yeah, okay, sure.
Thank you. Bye.

Excuse me. I'm Paula Hughes.

Oh, yeah, I recognize you.

You're filming the paramedics today,
right?

Yeah. Well,
you must be Dixie McCall. Yeah.

Well, they told me that
you know everything. Yeah.

Paula, you about ready?

Yeah,
I'll be right with you. JOHNNY: Okay.

I thought maybe that you
would know what to do with this.

Okay. I'll see you later. Yeah.

MAN: Excuse me.

[EXCLAIMS]

When we finish showing
this equipment, uh,

I'd like to get into
the weight-lifting.

Sure.

Marco,
what do you do in your off-duty time?

Well, I like to ski
when my schedule permits it,

and I also belong to
a semi-pro soccer team.

It's catching on, you know?

I know, I love it.
I played some myself.

Oh, yeah? Huh! PAULA: Yeah.

Oh, you know,
you gotta check this guy out.

He's a great deep sea fisherman.

Yeah, me and my brother
go out shark fishing quite a bit.

Hmm. You know, the more I hear
about the fantastic things you guys do,

the more I think we ought to do
a whole show on your hobbies.

Could be pretty
exciting. JOHNNY: Yeah.

Yeah, right.
CHET: That's a good idea.

Yeah, well, there's a guy on B shift
that likes to hunt with his bow and arrows.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah,
and then there's a guy over on Station 15,

he's... a mountain climber?
Yeah. Phil.

Went up to Yosemite, climbed,
what was it? El Capitan?

Yeah, right, El Cap.

Yeah. Got hung up there for three
nights. He had to sleep in a sling.

Yeah, well,
he got stuck up there for three nights.

PAULA: That sounds
better all the time.

Do you guys dig football?

Oh, yeah. Are you kidding?

Well, I was thinking,
if you help me out on the job,

I could maybe
promote some tickets

for the USC-UCLA game Saturday.

Oh, wow, that'd be great.
Are you kidding?

Great. We have a lot of
clout down at the stadium.

Yeah, well, look,
anything we can do, just ask us.

JOHNNY: Yeah, right.
PAULA: Super.

Yeah, you know,
there's some other things we do, too.

Yeah. Um, George,
how does this layout look?

I'll start it, and then I'll bring
you two in for questions.

Right, okay. What are you doing?

We're in the station...

She said us two.

You can answer her
questions. We're all here.

GEORGE: Hold it.

Sorry.

That hand bar's flashing,
I gotta dull it down some.

Wait a minute,
I just polished that.

That's showbiz.

Sorry, guys.
Think about the tickets.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Tickets.

Think about the tickets.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

DISPATCHER: Station 51,
man trapped at the steam plant.

8463 Jamison.
Cross street Adams.

8463 Jamison. Time out, 10:14.

Station 51, KMG 365.

[SIRENS WAILING]

What's the problem?

That is.

[RADIO CHATTER]

I didn't know he was up
there till I saw this woman

taking pictures of him
from across the fence there.

You know anything
about this, Miss?

I told him it was a stupid idea,

but he wants to be a stuntman.

That man up there?

Yeah. He read about
a movie they're making.

And so, he's practicing
high work, he calls it.

I'm supposed to
take pictures of him.

Uh, ma'am,
you think maybe I could look through there?

Sure.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Looks like he's tied himself onto
that I-beam right up above him.

He's not tied up there.
He's handcuffed.

He's what?

Handcuffed.

He wants to climb down
that way as part of the stunt.

Well, he's still got his arms...

He's still got his arms
around that I-beam.

[CHUCKLING] That's right.

Errol Flynn forgot that
when he put the cuffs on.

You got a key?

He wouldn't know what
to do with it if he did.

He's the kind of a guy who would
stumble over the white line of a crosswalk.

Life belts,
and a spare one for him.

Block and tackle and lifelines.

Here you go. Oh, ma'am,
that outfit he's got on,

what kind of a movie
is he making?

What else? The Cat
Burglar Strikes Again.

Oh.

Let's get a sh*t from down here.

I'll narrate over it later.

JOHNNY: Hey, you're okay,
okay? Are you all right?

MAN: Yeah, yeah.
Okay, you're not hurt?

No. Okay.

JOHNNY: Here comes the line.

MAN: Which line?
JOHNNY: The reel.

More slack.

ROY: How's he doing?

JOHNNY: He's doing okay.
He's not hurt.

How he got himself in this mess,
I'll never know.

Watch the block here.

That's it. Got it?

I got the block.

Okay. Here it goes.

[GRUNTING]

Need any help?

No, I got it.

All right,
you can undo it. All right.

Just hang on now. Get it off.

There we go. All right.
All right, take him down.

All right, take him on down.

I sure hope we got that.

Gage and DeSoto were
taking quite a risk.

That's their job.

Don't you worry. I got it.

That's my job.

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Baker,
outside call, please.

Dr. Baker, outside call, please.

How you doing?

I guess I'm all right.

What's the story, Doctor?

Well, the herpetologist identified
the snake as a baby Mojave Rattler.

Too young to have rattles,
but still plenty dangerous.

You gonna give me
something for it pretty soon?

Right now.

We just had to be certain you
weren't allergic to the antivenin.

I've heard about people
selling venom to labs.

Thought I could make
some extra money.

Did you know venom had to be taken
under sterile conditions to be of any use?

Now he tells me.

Yeah. Just be glad
you're still around to hear it.

I'll drop in later.

Thank you.

Now remember, we just wanna show
an average meal here at the station.

It's average, but Kelly's been
combing his moustache for half an hour.

Since when do
we have place mats?

We never had place mats before.

Well, you do now.

Now, just go ahead and eat
and don't pay any attention to us,

and just your regular
shop talk, okay?

Okay. Pass the lasagne.

Oh, come on, Marco, what's with
the parsley? You can't hide this stuff.

A typical meal here at
Station 51 finds the firefighters

enjoying a kind of rough
and ready camaraderie,

talking about their work,
sports and action-filled hobbies.

Did you see that outdoor sculpture
exhibit at the county museum?

Uh... Yeah, I did. I did.
That was real good. I liked it.

It was, wasn't it?
Cut it, George.

Fellows...

Okay.

L.A., Engine 51. We have a
barbeque fire. Cancel other units.

DISPATCHER: All units
responding with Station 51, cancel.

See if anybody's in that van.

Hello? Fire Department.

Hey, anybody in here?

Your barbeque pit's on...
Your...

It's... fire.

You get many calls like that,
that don't amount to much?

Not enough, unfortunately.

We'd rather get calls than not,

especially when it
might be a brush fire.

[nos BARKING]

Uh, Engine 51, this is Squad 51.

Cap, we'd like
to check that out.

STANLEY ON RADIO: Engine


[DOG CONTINUES BARKING]

Yeah. Cap.

Looks like he's unconscious.

Sure don't see any way to
get the rigs down there, do you?

I don't.

Hmm? Guess we'll have to.

Clear this fence, Kelly.

Okay.

L.A., Engine 51. We have a
boy over a cliff on Ridge Road,

south of the upper picnic area,
Hillside Park. Request an ambulance.

That's Ridge Road, south of the
upper picnic area, Hillside Park.

Johnny, has he moved'?
DISPATCHER: Engine 51.

Has he moved? I
don't know if he did.

Mike, why don't you back the rig up
here so we can use the eyes in the front.

Okay, I'm gonna throw.

Watch it.

It's pretty soft.

Maybe we should just go off to the
side down here and then traverse across.

Okay?

ROY: Okay, I'm knotted in here.

Okay.

ROY: Okay, bring it down.

All right, lower the Stokes.

Easy.

Bring it down easy.

JOHNNY: That's a big rock there.

All right, yeah, Now I got it.

Okay.

[GRUNTING]

We're sure not gonna get the Stokes
up here with them guiding it from below.

Why don't we bring
them all up together?

We're gonna have to,

unless you want to knock the
mountain down on top of them.

Hey, guys,
we're gonna bring all three up at once.

Stand by, Stoker.

Easy.

Easy.

Chet, we're gonna
need some oxygen.

We can't film this, George.

Equal and responsive.

[BUZZING]

ROY: Rampart, this is Squad 51.

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we've got a male victim here,
about 14 years of age.

He has a hematoma
on the left occipital area.

He's unconscious,
responsive to some pain.

The pupils are equal and responsive,
stand by for vital signs.

DIXIE: 10-4, 51.
Pulse is 96, regular.

Respiration is 20 and labored.

Pulse is 96 and regular.
Respiration is 20 and labored.

Stand by for BP.



BP is 110 over 70, Rampart.

Will you check his tendon reflexes for me,


ROY: Stand by.

Get these shoes
and socks off here.

Yeah.

Positive on the right. Positive.

Rampart, he's
responding briskly.

He's got a positive
Babinski on the right foot.

Sounds like a possible
cerebral concussion

with increased
intracranial pressure.

Are there any other
signs of bodily injury?

That's negative, Rampart.

Okay, 51, start an IV
with normal saline TKO.

We don't want to give
him any extra volume.

Normal saline TKO.

Dixie,
see who's on call for neurosurgery.

Transport as quickly
as possible, 51.

We'll have a neurosurgeon
standing by.

ROY: 10-4, Rampart.

He's gonna need parental permission
if they're gonna treat him at the hospital.

That's right. Cap,
he doesn't have a wallet or anything.

Hey, what about his dog,
on his tags?

It's worth a try. Chet, come on,
let's go look at the dog.

Let's get this, George,
it's good human interest.

Come here, come on.

PAULA: Come here, boy.

STANLEY: Come on.
Give us a hand here.

Come here, come here.

[nos BARKING]

PAULA: Come here, boy. Come on.

PAULA: Here, boy.
STANLEY: Come on, pooch.

STANLEY: Come on.

Come on, boy. Come here, boy.

Come on, boy.

STANLEY: You got him?

Come here, boy.
Come on. Come on.

Okay. Come on. Come here, boy.

Come here. Come on, buddy.

Okay, don't run up on him.
Here, boy. Here, boy.

Here, boy.

Come on, come on, come on.

Captain, he's got a license.

You certainly have the touch.

[LAUGHING]

Room 3.

JOE: All right,
let's get him in here.

Dix, is that portable
x-ray unit on its way?

Right behind me, Joe.

Dr. Landimer is standing by.

The boy's parents been notified?

Well, when I left they were
still trying to find out who he is.

Ready? On three.
One, two, three.

[GRUNTS]

You know, every kid should
have some form of ID on him.

You can bring up that
point on your TV show.

Hey, that's not a bad idea,
I'll take it on and see what happens.

I want a full skull and cervical
spine series, and an EMI scan.

I want to see those pictures
as soon as possible, okay?

Doctor, they found the boy's mother,
the police just telephoned.

Do you want them
to bring her over?

I think we can save some time if we
get permission to treat first by phone.

Dix, you get on an extension.
I'll need a second person listening

to verify the conversation.

[INTERCOM BEEPS]

Hello, this is Dr. Early.

Yes, put her on.

Well, it's really too early to
make a definite prognosis.

He's had a severe blow
to his head,

but his vital signs are strong.

All we need is your oral
permission to start treatment.

Yeah, that's fine.
We can go ahead then.

So, you just have the
officer bring you over

and we'll get word to you
as soon as possible.

You're welcome.

Look, and don't be worried,
he's going to be okay.

Dixie, did you get that?

Confirmed.

That was the boy's mother.

They have an okay to
go ahead and treat him.

Good. Where's Paula?

Oh, she and George went
and took the dog to the vet.

Oh, good.

How's the filming coming?

Not bad, not bad at all.

You know what she wants to do?

She wants to do a special show

on just what firefighters
do on their off time.

Me, included.

Can they show that on TV?

You know what I'm talking about,
you know, like...

Action stuff, stuff like that.

I don't think
that's such a good idea.

Well, why not?

Because people get the wrong
idea about firefighters sometimes.

I mean, we do a lot of
physical stuff, that's fine,

but there's more to it
than just that.

Like what?

Well, like the time you wrote the
poetry for the girl that broke her leg.

Yeah, that's right,
I forgot about that.

Of course, she was 21.

I mean, we've got firemen that are
musicians, firemen that are artists.

That paramedic that directs
a little theater in his off time.

That's right.

You're right.

I forgot about that.

Yeah, I suppose if we do,
do it Paula's way, it will be one-sided.

There's no doubt
about that. Yeah.

The athletic side,
because that's what Paula's interested in.

I mean, what bothers me
is that a few million people

are going to get a distorted
impression of what firemen are all about.

[EXCLAIMS] You're right.

Well, do something about it.

You guys better hurry up,
they're coming.

MARCO: Slow 'em down.
We're not quite ready yet.

Slow 'em down, right.
Slow 'em down.

[BOTH EXCLAIMING]

Hi, how you doing? I'm okay.

Excuse me.
That's quite all right.

You know, what did your
producer think about the film?

Couldn't be better. They liked
the film that George took in earlier,

they might even use it tonight.

Okay, good deal. Sounds good.

Oh, and they even liked
the idea of the feature story

on the crazy things you
guys do on your time off.

Great, great. Well,
that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

You know, about
the crazy things we do.

You know, we thought we'd show
you things that told the whole story.

You know, not just
one side of the story.

Oh, right, I was hoping to get some
more footage on the weightlifting.

Oh, yeah, we were
gonna do that, too,

but why don't you just go on in
there and see what I'm talking about.

Hi. Hi.

Uh,
we wanted to show you some of our hobbies.

This is a helicopter
made by a guy on C shift.

He's won a lot of awards. Hmm.

It's nice, isn't it?
Yeah, very nice.

And these are some
things I threw together...

Pots and things. I even
built my own kiln and wheel.

This usually hangs
in the reception room.

It was done by
a fireman in Station 18.

He's even got some hanging
in the Museum of Industry.

I can see why. It's very good.

But, fellows, you know...

Listen, you know,
when I have the time,

I like to do
decorative tin work.

Just like my grandfather used
to do in Mexico. Here, look.

It's very pretty. Yeah.

I've got sort of
an odd situation here.

I collect antique barbed wire.

Nice, huh?
It's very interesting.

Hmm.

Oh, I like these. Who did these?

Well...

I kind of... You did?

How about this,
George? You like that?

Did you do that? Yeah.

PAULA: Well, where did
all these things come from?

Made some calls around.

From some of the other stations,
got them out of the lockers.

Some from home.

Yeah, you see, when things get
kind of rough around the station,

you know, we like to
blow off a little steam,

so we go home, we do
kind of crazy things.

Just like other folks. Yeah.

Yeah. We've got a lot
of other things, too,

we could have brought in,
we could have showed you.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

DISPATCHER: Station
51... I'll tell you about it later.

PAULA: Okay.

b*rned trying to drag him out.

Thank you.

Two inch and a halfs. I want a

hurt too bad, but

the other guy's got some bad burns.
They've got a good burn ward at Rampart.

He should be okay.

You guys were really great.

Thank you, we're
