  • Near the end of Season 2 Episode 1, "Problem", Roy saves a boy AND his dog from a burning house, and resuscitates them both!
  • Chet Kelly worrying himself sick about a seriously injured Johnny in "Snakebite" and "The Nuisance". It drives home the "best buds" part of Vitriolic Best Buds.
  • In one episode, Chet, the firehouse prankster, stops Johnny from falling for one of his pranks after a small child in his care died.
    Chet: The Phantom doesn't strike at times like this. He knows how hard you tried to save that boy.
  • In "Pressure 165," a TV chef has a kitchen fire that Gage and DeSoto put out quickly. The chef pleads with them not to make a report about it, which they have to decline. However, since the chef is better known by his stage name, the firefighters are able to give him a break by putting his actual name on the report instead.
  • In "Saddled", the big rescue is a church bus full of kids that lost control and went over a hillside. The nun who was driving is critically injured, and it takes some time to extricate her. She has to be lifted out using a ladder truck and lowered to ground level. When she gets there, she opens her eyes and looks at Roy and Johnny, who were with her all the way:
    Sister Barbara: I know it isn't heaven... but the two of you sure look like angels to me.
  • In "Inferno", another firefighter is brought in to Rampart with serious injuries. His wife Susan happens to be the best friend of Roy's wife Joanne. She's determined that she's going to make her husband quit the fire department, because she wants a husband, not a corpse. Roy's first attempt to comfort her doesn't work, because she's too angry and scared. Later, after the man's condition improves and she's feeling better, he tries again, and this time manages to say just the right thing:
    Susan: What's worse than a moaning wife?
    Roy: A wife who doesn't care.
