The paramedics are concerned about their dog, Boot, who isn't eating, who discusses the staff at Rampart, about their mascot. Part of that problem is Kelly has been yelling at their dog, who observes the temperature from Drs. Brackett and Morton, from Dixie. A woman who got her hair caught up in a mixer, is being helped by John and Roy, where her hand got stuck in a bowl, and catches her stove on fire while making dinner; a woman trapped in her car under a gas truck; and an explosion at a Rampart Hospital lab endangers the workers and important records stored there.
