The Show

This time around, DM plays tribute to the TV classic Emergency!, with two of the cast members, Randolph Mantooth (Paramedic Johnny Gage) and Robert Fuller (Dr. Kelly Brackett) in the cast. Both men are among the crew trying to put out the fire, which was something Mantooth's character did many times on the series, but Fuller, who played a doctor, never had to do that on the show.
