Great memories . I was born in 1957 and for Me and My older Brother this and all the other great Shows from this Era were real entertainment and role models. We played rescue and War games all the time. Made Fire stations and towns from cardboard boxes and building blocks for Our toy fire trucks and cars . Dug up the garden with toy dump trucks and bulldozer’s . Those were good days. The hobby stores always had a HO scale car track and train set to give kids something to dream about for Christmas and Birthdays . It might have taken a while to save up for those but We really appreciated them . Plastic Models were not cheap but more affordable for Kids. With a couple of dollars a week allowance for doing chores we could get a decent model.
Yea Jim Davis certainly a genuine person. " tough as nails"..good ol' boy. Just like James Arness, John Wayne, John Carrol, Joel McCrae and other. Certainly can refer to them as a "Man's Man" !
Jim Davis was an amazing actor I love watching him this series and Dallas and the westerns movies he was no b movie actor as he himself said he was I think his acting A all the way!
I watch this as a kid in the late 50s, I would go out to the garage and climb up into the rafters and pretend I was saving something, got stuck more than once. Now my sone is a real LA County fireman.
I bought this collection some years ago and most aren`t in as good conditions as this one. I only wish there was a good collection of the Whirley Birds available.
I USED TO PLAY THIS WHEN I WAS A KID WITH MY FRIEND ( WE WERE BOTH 9)) ONE of ''''' our episodes ''''' lol....was when I was trapped under our back yard wooden chair and my friend (( The Rescue 8 Man )) had to pull out all resources to rescue me......... If anyone is wondering what happened ????? I was rescued and am here today to tell the story........''''' THE GOOD OL'' DAYZ '''''.........Great Stuff...
Lol so did I. I'd even mimic the dramatic music. I would climb fences when I was about 7 or 8 years old fantasizing that I was rescuing somebody. No video fantasy games during the early sixties. We had to make up the games ourselves.
Has anyone noticed that the windshield had been removed from the rescue truck? Jim Davis`s best show was his "Matt Clark Railroad Detective" series, in "Stories of The Century".
9:12 - 1958 Chevrolet convertible drives away from the first railroad station to get to the next one. Cut to the Chevy pulling up in the exact same location with the same 1958 Buick parked in the same place. Oops.
I have only seen this once. This show is awesome. I wish it was still on TV. It is the precursor to Emergency. I wonder if they ever used any of the characters from this series in Emergency as a Captain or Chief. They would have been at retirement age from this series in Emergency. This is a great show to put on FETV in my opinion.

MEtv needs to air more syndicated gems like this!
I second that. THIS is how I always remember Jim Davis, later of 'Dallas'. (Don't figure out my age. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL).
Yes, it does 👍🏼👍🏼
That ladder was a 1948 LaFrance 85 footer. I worked on its twin up until the 1970’s
Thank you so much for uploading and sharing these. Loved this show remember watching it as a kid, it was a favorite. What great memories.
Me, too. Also Sky King! and Fury.
Remember this show from my much younger years,watched it all the time,just realized the narration is by the exceptional Paul Frees.
Thx for sharing that~

Best thing to watch on a beautiful warm off from work Sunday march 21 2021
When I grow up I want to be just like *Rescue 8* 👷
I caught these episodes, probably, in their first syndication run. Rescue 8 was a favorite show of my buddies (later my younger brothers) and mine.
Loved this
If anyone thinks back this was the tv program emergency in the late 50's early 60's
Somehow, I just can't imagine that relatively thin wire transmitting 20,000 volts.
This is some of the best Cheese (vintage) I've run across lately ! Writing to die for !!

"First Aid kit and O2" that's ALL the LACFD Rescue Units could do before the Paramedic Program started in 1970.
I love this show

Great posting
Best thing on you tube
I just love Jim Davis how could he ever be considered a b actor he’s
Wonderful face - unforgettable.
Jim Davis had no idea Dallas was on the horizon.
I barely remember this show !

15 yrs before EMERGENCY WITH JR DAD
Jock Ewing had to have a hobby when he wasn't raising cattle and
drilling for oil...
Davis had solid range! always believable in any role he did.
These two guys never wore helmets?
That's his problem, not mine. 🤣
I wonder if Stanley's still married ?
1958 , oh to return to those days when we still had a nation . DEAR LORD JESUS PLEASE FOR GIVE OUR SINS ?
I like your thought. Its very valid these days. Only He can save us now.
"When we still had a nation." Of course, this didn't apply if you were black especially living in the South.
That's his problem, not mine. 🤣
