Thank you for making this. "Emergency!" was a noteworthy TV show from the 1970s because it introduced the idea of firefighters acting as paramedics to the general public. I'm glad you honored the life of one of its stars.

And yes, your childhood heroes should be real heroes.

i started st johns ambulance when i was 8 because i wanted to be johnny gage , after the army i joined the newly formed nsw rural fire service out at blacktown west of sydney, we were the busiest rfs district in the state averaging about 800 calls a year , and there were 5 of us st johns members in the district there was me and another bloke ryan minor at our station and the 5 of us trialled the firefighter / medic or medic on the truck thing and now in nsw if you call for a heart attack , a fire truck is probably gunna show up first , so i got to really be him at one point
i was subbed to him on facebook and im glad i got to tell him how he was a big deal in my life a couple of years ago

Thank you for your service as a soldier, as a paramedic, and as a firefighter. I'm glad you got to get in touch with Randolph Mantooth.
