* ArtisticLicense: Like its parent series, Series/GreysAnatomy, this is a drama first and foremost, so the number of times the need for dramatic effect overrides the need for realism is, well... almost always!
** ArtisticLicenseLaw: Rules are often treated as bureaucratic nuisances that prevent lives from being saved in order to avoid lawsuits in the event of a tragedy. Station 19 personnel often perform acts that might be considered heroic, but in real life, and only in the lucky event that they are able to save lives without anyone dying or being injured, would still result in disciplinary board reviews and, at best, dismissal. In one of the first episodes, this trope is averted when the SFD Chief Lucas Ripley [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech reprimands]] [[WhatTheHellHero one of the main characters]], Lt. Andy Herrera, and [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre urges]] her to accept that the rules are guidelines designed to protect the lives of both firefighters and civilians, and that if she wants to work for the SFD, especially with a command position, she needs to put aside her ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight ways and learn to follow rules that may sometimes require doing ethically gray things, but must still be followed in the name of safety. [[spoiler: Too bad Andy never really shows that she learned anything from Lucas' words in the next few seasons]].

* HateSink: Lane Bishop is Maya's overbearing father who took immense pride in her track victories, but became extremely despondent and verbally abusive every time she finished second (particularly in one race when her girlfriend is injured). He does offhand things such as withholding love and attention, indirectly saying she’s “a loser” and ultimately being the catalyst that instills both Maya’s rigid refusal to give up as well as her cold willingness to do what she had to to advance above all others. Lane is proven to be just as emotionally abusive towards his wife and son too and in the Season 3 finale, he berates and criticizes Maya while she’s trying to deal with a bomb threat on scene and even gets physical when he pulls her ponytail too, finally waking her up to the truth about how he’s always victimized her with the ending of Season 4 showing that he doesn't come to her wedding, but her mother—who's broken away from him—does.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Maya's blackmail attempt to get her job back was to simply tell people that she saw Ross and Sullivan at dinner and thus in a relationship. The problem is that everyone knows the two are old friends, so them having one dinner is no proof of an affair. That means Ross can just tell Beckett so he can give Maya a harder time. He then tells Carina, who's majorly pissed her wife did this and lied to her about it, leaving Maya worse off than before. She openly admits, "I didn't say it was a good plan."

[[UngratefulBastard Accusing Travis of acting like a hero]] just to play up to voters and the cameras and "we're more alike than you think."

The second complete spin-off of ''Series/GreysAnatomy'', this time focusing on Seattle's best and unluckiest firefighters instead of doctors. It features a diverse cast of characters perhaps more than ''Grey's'' and ''Series/PrivatePractice'' because it was made over ten years later. The showrunners have said that their main cast will comprise people of many backgrounds and sexualities.
Ben Warren, in his latest change of career, has decided to become a firefighter after experiencing the adrenaline rush of a fire breaking out at Grey Sloan Memorial hospital, where he was a surgical resident. He quit his job without telling his wife, the no-nonsense Chief of Surgery. During his rookie experience being on watch at Station 19, he and mentor Andrea "Andy" Herrera attend to a pair of brothers in a house fire and rush them to Grey Sloan, their friends 3 blocks down midtown Seattle. Herrera strikes up a quick friendship with Meredith Grey while charming the staff and [[EstablishingCharacterMoment taking no nonsense, either]]. The danger of Seattle medicine mixes with literal fire, and the already danger-prone Ben Warren is up for some challenges. Herrera's father is the OldRetainer of the station, and it's filled with close companions who soon challenge the new guy. All the firefighters have to be medically trained to at least EMT status, so there is potential for crossover into the world of doctors.

* CrossOver: So, so many Between several character's connections to the parent show, the shared setting, and the fact that all the firefighters have to be medically trained to at least EMT status means the show fully embraces the crossover capability between the two worlds, with every season having multiple crossovers with ''Series/GreysAnatomy'' ''Grey's''. For comparison, ''Private Practice'' only crossed over with the parents show three times in it's six seasons. ''Station 19'' has had seven crossovers, one of them a three-episode event between the shows, and this isn't counting the characters popping in for a cameo or brief arc on each other's shows - it got to the point in Season Three three that nearly episode has included at least one character from GA.''Grey's''.
