Views: 1857

Here's a promo for Emergency One (original syndicated title for the 1972-77 series Emergency!) on WFLD Channel 32. This promo, with no voiceover, starts off with the station's then-current "Look At Us!" slogan (with Kaiser-era logo) and shows short segments from various Emergency! episodes.

This segment features firefighter Jerry Overstreet (from what looks like San Francisco) taking you through a day in his job, and telling you why he likes it.
