The Old Engine

S03E02·8.0·September 29, 1973·1h·NBC

Station 51 gets their new fire engine, which gets put to use during a junkyard fire. While there, Roy and John buy an older engine they had found there. The paramedics try to help a woman strung out on LSD and have to chase her down to the top of a building when she flees. The base station at Rampart is upgraded with a new transmitter and radio for better management of Squad traffic. Dr. Brackett and Dixie both treat a gunshot victim, who later undergoes surgery, and wants to walk out immediately afterwards. Meanwhile, the paramedics treat a politician suffering from a heart attack, and the station responds to a warehouse fire.
