This episode is great for being one of the final episodes of the sixth season. It was great seeing how the community came together to meet the needs of people in trouble. No one acted as if they were put out or inconvenienced. That's how it used to be! It seemed that John and Roy bonded with the Sheriff during this time and enjoyed helping him in his plight to see his county have what it needed in the way of emergency assistance. The way he was willing to do whatever it took to get the job done, because the need outweighed the protocol, was great! The way James Jeter portrayed him was excellent! You could feel the Sheriff's love for the people he served. The Drs. At Rampart showed great concern as they assumed responsibility for treating the burn victim and worrying about the consequences later. I believe that was not just Hollywood taking artistic license, but how it truly was at that time; Drs. Who wanted to treat the patient, not just do a job. Sadly, we will never get back to that quality of care again! In the final scene, the guys are with the Sheriff, formulating a plan for him to cover his county by training a group of EMT-1 teams, instead of Paramedics. Because of the size and demographic of the county and what seemed to be a better fit for the time being, to more adequately meet the immediate need. All in all, it was a very uplifting and positive episode that I think did much to educate the public at that time, about the way emergency medical services in a community could be adapted to specific local situations, and were not always a "one size fits all" scenario. Being that this kind of medical service was new at the time Emergency was a new program, this episode took another step in showing communities what could be done. Today, these kind of services are common, and this series did a lot to help make that possible. There have been many shows like Emergency, but none have had the impact this series had! Truly a classic and one of a kind!
