There's some really exciting stuff in this very last episode of Emergency! The sniper in the run-down motel,,,and especially the massive fires and explosions in the lab complex in Marin County. We get to see the S.F.F.D. help the police handle the sniper with their deck gun. And the first-in fire units (Novato F.D.) at the lab complex incident have a snorkel unit that has TWO nozzles on the basket. That's a real rarity. As is usual of Emergency!, lots of humor. The "lab" fire looks like old Army barracks. They must have been ready to demolish them, because they were blown sky-high. Fantastic pyrotechnic effects...the best ever for Emergency! They may really have saved the very best for last!

Was this some sort of contractual obligation?

Warning: Spoilers
Always good to see Johnnie & Roy together, but the rest of the cast does nothing for the show, the situations are hokey and contrived, and the show easily could have been over and done with within half an hour (at most). My biggest peeve is in the final rescue, when a so-called top secret lab (a collection of ramshackle wooden buildings with stern signs demanding ID be shown) blows up. The rescuers do NOTHING to try to save the poor lab animals, focusing instead on rescuing the a-hole scientists who torture and kill the animals. If Roy had gone in a trotted out happily with all the animals in their cages, announcing his decision to foster them until he can find loving homes for them, that would have saved this whole viewing experience for me. One hopes the careless smoker who caused that inferno died of his injuries!
