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.

A dog-bite case sheds a new light on Gage's current love interest; an aging stripper collapses in a nightclub; guest Erik Estrada.

Gage and DeSoto unexpectedly encounter a real blaze while en route to a firefighters' parade with their restored antique fire engine.

An assembly bill to create a paramedic program meets opposition from doctors and firefighters; pilot for the series.

De Soto and Gage save a movie star (Adam West) from a vicious trained bear and in return are invited to a party at the actor's house.
