synopsis
John (Randolph Mantooth) takes it personally when a shortage of equipment results in the death of a heart attack victim. Elsewhere, Roy (Kevin Tighe) is injured in a fire at a fireworks factory, and Chet (Tim Donnelly) likewise sustains injuries in an explosion. Also, the team is pestered by an amateur firefighter; a young patient shows symptoms of polio; and a tree surgeon requires a quick rescue.
