Emergency! season 6 episode 10 is titled "Welcome to Santa Rosa County." This episode follows the firefighters and paramedics of Station 51 as they respond to various emergencies in the small coastal town of Santa Rosa.
The episode begins with Station 51 receiving a call about a gas leak at a local restaurant. When they arrive, they discover that the leak has already been fixed, but the owner is complaining of chest pains. The paramedics quickly diagnose the owner with a heart attack and rush him to the hospital.
Next, the crew responds to a car accident on the highway. The driver, a young woman named Emily, is pinned inside the vehicle and in critical condition. The paramedics must work quickly to stabilize her before the Jaws of Life can be used to extract her from the car.
Later, the crew is called to a beach where a man has been stung by a stingray. The paramedics treat the injury and transport the man to the hospital, where he receives further treatment.
Meanwhile, firefighter Chet Kelly is having a rough day. He injures his hand while trying to fix the station's plumbing, and then he accidentally spills coffee on his uniform. To make matters worse, he is assigned to clean the station's bathrooms instead of going out on calls with the rest of the crew.
As the day goes on, the crew responds to several minor emergencies, including a cat stuck up a tree and a child with a minor injury. Finally, they receive a call about a boat on fire in the harbor. When they arrive, they discover that the boat belongs to Chet, who had been working on it in his spare time. Chet is devastated to see his boat destroyed, but the crew manages to put out the fire before it spreads to other boats in the harbor.
Overall, "Welcome to Santa Rosa County" is a typical episode of Emergency!, with several different emergencies and the crew working to save lives. The episode also explores the personal struggles of the crew members, particularly Chet Kelly. Despite his bad luck, Chet remains a beloved member of the team, and the crew always comes together to support each other.
