Los Angeles County Fire Museum

As EMS Week comes to an end, we would like to recognize the most influential television show dedicated to firefighters and rescue personnel. The 1970s series known as “EMERGENCY!”, not only helped to promote the paramedic profession to the general public, but it was also single-handedly responsible for the recruitment of countless men and women into the fire service. An entire generation of firefighters grew up watching the adventures of “Johnny and Roy,” and many of them credit the television show with motivating them to choose their careers in public safety.
