An Ounce of Prevention
The firemen assist a man with chest pains (and a young man who gets trapped trying to help him) while stuck on a ferris wheel. Roy & John are scheduled to appear on TV to discuss fire prevention, then help a child who swallowed parathion, and Dr. Brackett speaks with both parents about how their son got into the illegal pesticide, while Dixie treats a woman. During their TV appearance Roy and John become stars of a real-life emergency when a stagehand gets a electric shock from a live wire.
