So thanks to one of my work buddies, he, myself, and another friend from work went down to Cali and visited the Los Angeles County Fire Museum for their 50th anniversary celebration of the premier of the 1970's TV series Emergency!
This show has been credited by many as the catalyst for the expansion of emergency medical services (EMS) in the United States and throughout the world as well. It laid the seeds in me to eventually start my career in EMS after nearly 18 years in the IT field. Many other people, usually in my generation, also credited the show in inspiring them to work in EMS and/or go into medicine in general as nurses, doctors, and specialists.
Below are some of the photos I have taken at the museum, where the fire engine and rescue squad used in the series are on display, along with many other fire engines and historical pieces. We also took a trip to LA County Fire Station 127, which was the setting for the fictional 'Station 51' in the series.
Was a very good trip overall, and a nice change of pace.
Meanwhile, keep your powder dry, and watch your 6...
