The Steel Inferno - S7-E1

Other mistake: When dispatch drops tones for the fire at Graymar Plaza, we see Engine 8 rolling out of the apparatus bay and heading down the street, but the problem here is that this footage of Engine 8 is from season 5, episode "Equipment", when Johnny was at Station 8 doing overtime, and we can actually see Johnny sitting there on Engine 8 as it rolls by.

Continuity mistake: When Charlie asks Dave how Sue is, Charlie has an oxygen mask on with the elastic around his head, but after Dave tells Charlie that Sue's fine and that Johnny's got her on O2, in the wideshot as Dave walks away the oxygen mask has vanished from around his head.

The Steel Inferno - S7-E1

Visible crew/equipment: When Evelyn and her husband pull up in front of Graymar Plaza, while they're talking in the car, in the shots facing Evelyn the reflection of crew members standing beside the car, on the driver's side, is visible on the building's glass doors.

The Promise - S3-E11

Trivia: During Richard's rescue from the ledge at Rampart, the snorkel that Roy and Brackett climb onto is Truck 127, from Station 127 aka Station 51. Truck 127 is used in many episodes requiring a snorkel, including 1x6, "Dealer's Wild" and 3x16, "Fools." There's a particularly nice shot at the end of this episode, when Engine 51 and Squad 51 are parked parallel to each other, and when Johnny responds to dispatch that Squad 51 is available, Truck 127 drives away between 51's vehicles. Nice touch.

Question: Why is the driveway in front of the station always wet? Day or night, whenever they pull in or out it looks like it was just hosed down.

Answer: It is standard practice to wet down driveways so that they stand out in a long shot.
