Responding to a warehouse fire, Paramedics Gage and DeSoto discover the fire was set to cover the theft of cases of highly-radioactive radium chloride!
Unfortunately, the thieves damaged the casing of at least one of the containers, which is now leaking!
With one of the thieves captured and hospitalized, the police and paramedics have to find the thief still at large, secure the leaking containers, and treat the thief before radiation poisoning kills him and injures (or kills) any innocents he encounters!

Written by Joe Gill and illustrated (pencils and inks) by John Byrne as "Byrne Robotics", this never-reprinted, book-length story from Charlton's Emergency! #1 (1976) was part of a push by Charlton to do tv-tie-ins in both four-color comic book and b/w magazine formats!
(Besides Emergency!, they also did Six Million Dollar Man and Space: 1999 comics & magazines!)
Gill follows the TV series bible accurately in terms of characterization and Byrne is surprisingly-good at accurately-caricaturing the regular-cast!
Unlike the b/w magazine, the comic didn't adapt any aired episodes, but may have utilized plots and screenplays that weren't produced (reports vary).
