These guys sure don't look like paramedics...
And, for the record, they aren't paramedics...yet!
Confused?
Just read on...
The story, written by Joe Gill, was adapted from an early draft of the pilot episode, "Wedworth-Townsend Act", of the 1970s TV series Emergency!
The script dealt with the then-new law allowing specially-trained firemen to administer more than basic first aid to accident victims.

The series, from producer/actor Jack (Dragnet) Webb was a companion show with his other ongoing series Adam-12.
There were several crossovers between the two series during their runs, including this pilot episode!
However, since two different comic companies had the rights to Emergency! and Adam-12, the comics themselved didn't do a crossover!

Though the series began in 1972, this b/w magazine and the companion color comic (which presented different stories) weren't introduced until the show's fifth season, in 1977.
BTW, this story adapts only the first 1/2 hour of the two-hour pilot.
The rest of the tale will be presented soon...
