Subject: Great site

I found your site through a websearch.I love it. Finally i found other fans of Emergency! out there.
As achild, I grew up around the fire house. My dad was chief in 1971.I have seen every episode at least fivetimes each.When the show would go off, I would immediately go to the basement and play Emergency.I had a plastic fire helmet that i wrote 51 on in marker.I also had an old raincoat that I wrote L.A. County 51 on the back in marker.I even pretended to write the directions on paper.
One year my dad made me a biophone out of wood and painted it red.That along with a play first aid kit completed the getup.
I lost interest as I grew older.When a local fireman got killed in 1980,I never wanted t be a fireman after that.I never had the stomach to be a squad member.
Now I smile every time I hear that buzzer go off on t.v. and the trucks pull out of the station.It takes me back to when Roy, John,and the rest of station 51 were my heroes.In a way theystill are. I hope to get to D.C. someday and see Squad 51 in person.
