From the pilot film for the show "EMERGENCY" Johnny Gage is assigned squad 10 which is strictly a rescue unit. He is only interested in rescue work and not the new paramedic program. Convinced by Roy DeSoto he becomes a paramedic and assigned to squad 51.

With resin casting donor cab from Charlie Rowley the project is started.

Making the 'platter' warning plate.

Changed the grille to newer Dodge. Used Aurora 1/32nd ALF pumper rims with AMT Ford star truck tires. Decals courtesy of Charlie

Comparison with Jack Webb in front of real truck.

Icing on the cake is having Randy Mantooth ( Johnny Gage ) autograph the model. He knew exactly that is was a replica of squad 10.

Just found this site, Avid and life long fire apparatus model builder, Sometimes venture off the red scale into other models try to keep in 24 25th scales, but if it interesting then it is acquired.
