Capt. Stanley assigns Chet and Marco to fix numerous incident reports rejected by the computer. A man runs his car into a fire hydrant; when leaves his son alone to call for help (because the son wanted to "watch the water") the son nearly drowns by falling into a storm drain. In a complicated issue for Squad 51 to get the supplies, Dixie announces to Johnny, Rampart has a supply nurse, who puts Roy and Johnny, in an intolerable situation. The paramedics help a college janitor with stomach pains after drinking Mesoptamia-era wine and two people trapped in a warehouse fire.

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.
