EMERGENCY! (classic television show)?
What is the make/model and year of the fire engine used in the classic TV series “EMERGENCY!”? I don’t mean the rescue truck (though that’d be nice to know too), but the engine that was stationed with the rescue unit?
Engine 51 – What was it?
For Reference: http://www.nbc.com/Vintage_Shows/Emergency/video/episodes.shtml
The fire engine used for most of the series run has an interesting history. It was donated new by the manufacturer, Ward LaFrance, Engine 51 was originally a Crown Firecoach from the L.A. County
Fire Department. There was the condition that the engine be put in active service after the show. Universal turned it over to the LA Country Fire Department (which runs the fire station on Universal’s lot). The LA County Fire Department traded the engine to the Yosemite Fire Department for their 1930 vintage engine that went to the LA Country Fire Museum. Yosemite Fire Department still uses the engine to this day. The Yosemite Fire Department had to raise the ceiling of their firehouse by 3 inches to accommodate the new engine.

The ’60s: Original NBC Motion Picture Soundtrack $13.97 To many, this is what the ’60s are all about: classic tunes by the Angels, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, Lovin’ Spoonful, and others. But thankfully, not all the tunes found on The ’60s can be heard during our morning-commute radio scans. “Draft Morning” by the Byrds gives this collection a political edginess, and James Brown’s “Say It Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud (Part 1)” is a welcome, funky ad… |

Peter Pan [VHS] $12.95 An entire generation of baby boomers grew up with this stagy but magical production, which originated on Broadway but was broadcast several times on TV. They may not know Mary Martin or Cyril Ritchard–two staples of the commercial theater in their time–for any other reason, but they’ll always be able to name them as Peter Pan and Captain Hook. The story of the boy who wouldn’t grow up includes a… |

The ’60s [VHS] $9.98 Tackling an entire decade–and a turbulent one at that–within a three-hour movie is a challenge, and while The ’60s is frequently entertaining, it unfortunately is not completely up to the task. The movie follows the lives of four young people, three from a white suburban family with parents out of The Wonder Years and one African American from the South. The characters are forced into one-dimens… |

Pride & Prejudice $6.98 Literary adaptations just don’t get any better than director Joe Wright’s 2005 version of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. The key word here is adaptation, because Wright and gifted screenwriter Deborah Moggach have taken liberties with Austen’s classic novel that purists may find objectionable, but in this exquisite film their artistic decisions are entirely justified and exceptionally well execu… |
