On Saturday they had a reunion of the original fire truck and rescue squad 51 at the Fire Station where they filmed the tv show "Emergency" that first aired on NBC in 1972. The Fire Station is located on 223rd St in Carson and is Fire House 127. As a little kid when we would drive down the 405 Fwy South you could always see the backside of it. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to check out the inside of the fire house so it was cool to finally be able to see it.
When I heard about this I thought I'd go down and check it out expecting only a few people there. The place was packed. People were waiting in line for hours to buy merchandise and get autographs from 2 of the actors from the show.
Mike Stoker. He was in the t.v. show as the driver of the Fire Truck. He answered the casting call of being a actual fire fighter and having a Actors Guild Card.
Randolph Mantooth starred as Johhny Gage in the series. It's been 32 years since the series went off the air. Damn I'm feeling old.
