Book Reviews of Emergency!: Behind the Scene

Book Review: This Book's For You!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've read this book and as a writer/filmmaker, it gives me a unique insight into what it took to make a series of this type. On another edge, as a person who follows and admires the work of our firefighters/EMS, this is also an insight into what the early days of the Paramedic program were like in Los Angeles County and probably anywhere else in the country that started one of these programs. Finally, if you're not in either one of the groups I previously mentioned and are probably just a self described "TV Junkie", you know this was probably one of your favorite series of the time, so I think it's a must that you read this book and you'll know why you loved this series so much.

Authors Richard Yokley and Rozanne Sutherland have put together a finely crafted book that satisfies everyone's point of view on this series and its impact on every series of this genre that came later. I have to give it a five star rating hands down.

I also recommend Mr. Yokley's other book, "TV Firefighters." It came out before this one and, hold on to your hats, it looks at the entire spectrum of fire and EMS shows from the early fifties till the present time.

All of it is excellent reading!

Summary of Emergency!: Behind the Scene

This book captures the essence of an important chapter in television history: coverage of the origins of the Emergency!, a dramatic series significant beyond entertainment. Emergency! followed the daily lives of a pair of Los Angeles County Fire Department firefighters/paramedics, along with their colleagues at Station 51 and the emergency room staff of Rampart General Hospital. The book offers a behind the scenes look, packed with interviews from many of the medical and fire department technical advisors, cast members, writers, and other production crew members that worked on the series.
