The dedicated members of Squad 51 of the Los Angeles County Fire Department's newly created Paramedical Rescue Service take on a series of life-or-death challenges in this drama filmed in semi-documentary style. Partners John Gage and Roy DeSoto put their lives on the line to save people from all sorts of mishaps.

Over the objections of the station repairman, Gage and DeSoto attempt to fix a rescue vehicle themselves, with embarrassing results.

Gage and DeSoto escort a visiting English firefighter; the Rampart staff treats an injured police officer and a singer with diabetes.

Early and Brackett compete for a working vacation in Hawaii; DeSoto frets about an impending visit from his critical mother-in-law.

Battling neighbors cause trouble for the paramedics; Brackett tries to convince a guilt-stricken mother to keep her deformed baby.
