boy, then Dixie also asks the girl if her best friend hurt himself falling down the hole. The girl says he did not,

a young boy who swallows ant poison and later dies–his mother thought he was just trying to "get attention"–

toward the paramedics; he refuses to allow an IV to a man injured when his chimney explodes after using
gasoline to clean it. When a man is nearly killed after the intern orders defib on a heart patient that was not
necessary, Dr. Brackett sends him into the field to ride along with Squad 51, where he assists the paramedics

undergoes a bypass, after fixing Station 51's truck. Dixie becomes more concerned about her colleague's
operation, after Roy and Johnny exchange words with her. A professional football player (NFL Hall of Fame
linebacker Dick Butkus) is hit hard by his son and suffers a broken ankle, much to his embarrassment. The
firefighters rescue a boy trapped in his homemade rocket, a woman whose toe is stuck in a bathtub faucet, and

transmissions between Rampart and the paramedics and no music. The transmissions, transcribed, read as
follows:
Station alarm, followed by sirens, fading into:

1. Dispatcher Sam Lanier: "Fifty-One, informant reports toxic chemicals are stored in tanker. Use
caution." An explosion follows.
2. Brackett: "Squad Fifty-One, this is Rampart; can you send me some EKG?"
3. Gage: "10-4; transmitting EKG, we're sending you a strip, vitals to follow. (Pause.) Pulse is one-sixty;
the victim is in extreme pain, Rampart." (Beeping, as though to alert a doctor.)
4. DeSoto: "Patient is in V-fib! Rampart, we have lost the victim's pulse! Beginning CPR! (A series of
beeps.) We're defibrillating victim, Rampart! (Pause.) Rampart, we've defibrillated victim; he's in sinus
rhythm."
