Emergency!

Edit

Factual errors

In the overturned fuel truck, John was able to break the front windshield with a hand tool and it shattered into pieces. If it were a real windshield, it would not shatter like a house window due to front windshields being laminated with plastic to prevent shattering.
Airspeed is measured in knots not mph.
Roy says they can't treat the girl with an LSD overdose because she's a minor and they aren't able to contact her parents. While it is true that paramedics, doctors and other medical professionals normally require parental consent to treat a minor, there are exceptions in emergency situations. If contacting the child's parent isn't possible paramedics and doctors are allowed to provide emergency treatment to minors if they are suffering from a potentially life threatening condition or injury. However they are limited to life preserving treatment that stabilizes the minor, once the child's life is no longer in danger they must forego any further treatment until either the child's parents given consent. If the child has no legal guardian, or their guardian is declared negligent or incompetent, then a judge can appoint a guardian ad litem for the child, which is a type of temporary legal guardian who can make medical decisions that are in the child's best interest.

Revealing mistakes

During the overturned truck rescue, LACoFD Station 127 (the location used for Station 51) is visible in the background in some shots.
During the overturned truck rescue, Dr Brackett asks for an EKG. Johnny and Roy never hook up the leads to the patient and the EKG is instantly read by Dr Bracket.

Also, when same.patient is at the hospital, Dr Brackett is reviewing his vitals with Dr Early. Dr Brackett says his EKG is normal, yet there are no lead hooked to the patient.
When they are trying to get the tanker truck driver out of the cab of the overturned truck, there is no water spraying behind them from the ladder truck that's already been setup to spray down the leaking flammable fluid on the road.

Plot holes

When responding to the kid stuck in an airplane after his father had a heart attack Roy and Johnny realize it would help to have a pilot present to talk the kid through landing the plane; but there were no pilots at the airport at the moment and they act like they don't know where to find one on short notice. However the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office and California Highway Patrol all have pilots and there should always be at least a few on duty at any given time. Between those three organizations it should be easy enough to get a pilot down there quickly, or at least get one on the radio for the boy to talk to.
