This message is for Randy Mantooth. In 1976, you became my favorite actor, Johnny Gage became my favorite television "heart throb" and Emergency! became my favorite television show. Thirty years later you are still my favorite actor and I can't get enough of the Emergency! re_runs. Meryl

Happy 30th Anniversary Emergency! Congratulations Randy Mantooth, Kevin Tighe and the rest of the cast and crew. Hard to believe that it's been 30 years since the first broadcast of Emergency. Thanks for having the show on back then. It inspired men and women to become more involved in Firefighters and EMTs and Paramedics. A wonderful show that is was and still is today. I still watch the show on TVland. Happy Anniversary Emergency. A great fan from Michigan, Laura Davis

Anniversary to cast and crew of Station 51 (especially paramedic Johnny Gage). Grace Wilson (help1965)

To Randy and everyone involved with the show: Thanks for creating a TV show that is still enjoyable to watch 30 years later, just like "Emergency" was when I was 9 years old and watching it for the first time. It's hard to believe that I've been a fan of yours and the show for so many years. Happy Anniversary!! Jamie Simmons Saginaw, MI now Lisle, IL

Happy 30th Anniversary to all involved with bringing Emergency! to our living rooms. The quality and caring still shine today _ 30 years later! Kathy R, VA

Congratulations on 30 years! It seems like only yesterday when this first aired! It was a wholesome show then and in reruns it is still a wholesome show. I have a 5 year old niece that also likes to watch this show. When she comes over for a visit she always asks "Is the Fire Engine Show on"? It’s really cute. May you have another 30 years on television! A loyal Texas Fan!

Hi Randy!! Happy 30th anniversary!! I love emergency. All my friends think I’m weird. They think it is weird for a 14 year old girl to love Emergency!. I just want to let you know that I want to be a firefighter/paramedic. I am even doing a project in English on firefighters. Thanks for being my hero. Pam miller:)

To the Cast and Crew of Emergency!: Happy Anniversary :) There just aren't enough ways to say thank you for everything that Emergency! has added to my life. Besides learning how to defibrillate someone with my blocks and being able to read EKG rhythms before being able to read; I have been given the chance to make some pretty darn good friends and memories throughout the years. As I train towards a career in the Fire Service I have all of you to thank for putting kindling on the fire that was lit during my first firestation visit when I was younger. Thanks, Muchas Gracias, Merci Beaucoup, Vielen dank/Gratias Tu/ Molte grazie. Connie J. Ivins UT

Thank you to everyone involved in such a wonderful and informative show as Emergency was and still is...this show was a Godsend to me...two years after the show ended I walked into my mom's house to find her in cardiac arrest...if it hadn't been for Emergency!, I don't think I would of had a clue as to what to do for her or who to call....even though I was scared to death, I was able to help her and get her help in a matter of a few minutes...THANK YOU to all the actors and crew that made the show the lifesaver it was for me...HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY EMERGENCY!! Jennifer B.

Happy Aniversary! Emergency! Is a Great Show and it Salutes Our Heroes! GOD BLESS You All! Millisa G.

Randy, Wow, what can I say. 30 years is a long time. All my best wishes go out to you and the rest of the cast and crew on this 30th anniversary of Emergency! Randy you deserve the best. Your friend, Helene

On this anniversary, Randy, you and Kevin have every reason to be proud of incalculable world contributions through "Emergency!" alone, not to mention considerable other fine work. The show's terminology became part of our country's language - how do you like the "56k rage" ad? Not only have you served to inspire all the brave fire, police, and emergency personnel who lately came through so nobly, but also those in the general public who aspire to do their best. Also, you guys are just so adorable! You were the main reasons people watched and received the important messages of "Emergency!" Love ya! Cori Shields

Hi Randy, I just wanted to wish you and your Emergency! cast mates a wonderful 30th anniversary. You should be very proud that a show you helped make is not only as popular as it was when it first aired, but is still inspiring new generations to go into the public service fields. Congratulations! Chris Dietz

Dear Randy, I can't believe it's been 30 years. I was 9 years old 30 years ago and still one of your greatest fans after all these years. I'm now a wife and mother of 4 and I still have my Tiger Beat posters packed away. God Bless in all your future endeavors. Dawn Taylor Bell, Florida

Hi Randy! Happy 30th Anniversary on Emergency! May another 30 years of Emergency! live on:) (Throwing confetti, streamers, balloons, bubble gum, lemonade LOL!! and popped the top off a BUD EWWW! bubble gum, lemonade, BUD taste bad together! Call Rampart I'm going to ralph! LOL!! Have a great day! Love, Lorie McCaughey

I'm totally hooked on Emergency! Thank you for inspiring me to become a paramedic! Your fan for life, Rene' Shaw

HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY, To Everyone involved with the making of Emergency! You have touched our lives with what you did every week. Thank you so very much, Sandy

Randy, I was 8 when the show first aired. I watched it every Saturday night while at my grandparents house. During the first few months, my mother was sick in the hospital. She was dying of cancer. I spent all my weekends with my grandparents and they let me watch Emergency at 7 on Saturday. I would sit on my Grandpa's lap and we would watch the show together…. the show brought me some good memories of time I spent with my Grandpa, whom I miss so much….I loved the show, and Johnny Gage was my favorite character. Thank you so much for bringing him to life and into my Grandparents house all those years ago when I needed something to take my mind off all the misery in my life… Thank you to all who were involved with making one of my FAVORITE shows to air on Television. Sincerely, Krys Witt

My very best wishes to Randy and the cast of Emergency! on this monumental milestone in the life of the show. This show is like the "Energizer Bunny"__it just keep going and going and....God bless all of you and we love you all! Sincerely, Lois Troutman

Happy 30th Anniversary to the cast and crew of Emergency! Thank you for years of enjoyment and for the positive role models that were created from the production. Your friends at The Paper Mill ( The State Theatre of New Jersey ) Denise Biel and Angelo Del Rossi

Dear Randy, 30 years? How can that be? What's amazing is the show is still as fresh and vibrant as it was when it was new. Compare it to other shows of its time and there's no doubt: Emergency! was a groundbreaking program that has stood the test of time…. The success of the program is largely due to the talent, charisma and chemistry of the cast. You guys made it look real, from the skillful way you handled the medical and rescue details, to the easy camaraderie you displayed that so accurately mirrors life in a real fire station. Thanks to you and the show and its influence on me, I'm working in EMS now…Congrats again on being a part of something that has touched so many lives. Long live E! Carol

Congratulations on such a wonderful accomplishment. 30 years later and the show is still an icon in the industry. Others have followed, but none have come close to the impact Emergency! made. What a tremendous tribute to the cast and crew who made it happen. And Randy, next on the hit parade of great television shows is USAR_1...and soon enough, it will be celebrating its anniversary, too. Keep the faith...'cause it's gonna happen! :) Cheryl Clements

I am so happy to have this opportunity to wish each and every member of the "Emergency!" cast and crew, "Happy Anniversary!"…. I just wanted you to know what an impact the show made on a whole generation of folks! We as kids watched the show and learned so much. I commend you for your involvement with such a fine television show. The characters still seem just as heroic and loveable as ever. I also have realized that everything you folks did in the show was credible, ethical, respectable and honest!! …..Mr. Mantooth, best of luck with "USAR_1"....We in TV land would love nothing more than to see you in another series…. Firefighting and rescue work is such a commendable profession! Again, Happy Anniversary!!! Amy Huffman

To the cast & crew of "Emergency"... you changed the face of trauma care and, Mr. Mantooth, you & "Johnny" changed my life forever! Thanks for everything! Sandie

Dear Randy, Kev, Cap, Chet, Marco and Mike, Thanks for all the good times. E! was a complete blast and it made a valuable contribution to all of us. May you all have many more good days and good times in your lives. Mirth

Happy 30th Anniversary to the cast & crew of "Emergency!" Long may it (re)run! Elizabeth Dunn, Idaho

Happy 30th Anniversary Randy, Kevin and the rest of the crew!!!!! You have brought much joy to my life in the past 30 years. There have been many times that I was very down and I would watch an "Emergency" episode (it didn't matter which one, as long as I saw Randy and Kevin in action - along with the rest of the crew, of course). After watching the show my spirits were greatly risen. Here's to another 30 years and to the future of "USAR_1" which will carry on the legend of "Emergency" Robin from Ohio

Thank you for a fantastic show. Emergency! has touched so many people in so many ways over the years, with career moves or even had saved some lives. All of you should be very proud of yourselves. You are all an inspiration to us all. God Bless You. HAPPY 30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!! Sincerely Suzanne Marie Toby, New Jersey.

Happy 30th. Randy. Without Emergency, fans from across American and overseas would have never had the experience of making new friendships. Without Emergency! some of us would have never been inspired to be FF/EMT's when we grew up. Thanks! Deborah Robinson FF/EMT Mantooth Minutes President

Wow 30 years already. Where does the time go??? Well thanks to reruns I am able to catch the shows (since I "debut" March of 1970) Since I have to make this short. I would just like to say Congratulations again. Pony

Thanks for 30 years worth of wonderful memories! ___Sheri Files

Congratulations Randy on the 30th Anniversary of Emergency! Thank you for being part of influencing many cities to begin EMS units. Even today, Emergency! still has a positive influence on young children and adults, encouraging them to become paramedics and/or firefighters. This itself, is something to be proud of! Thank you again and congratulations! Lisa Thomas, San Antonio, TX

Happy 30th anniversary! it's hard to believe it's been 30 years since the show started and unfortunately for me I missed by a few years when it was first on, but I’m happy to see it in reruns. The show has inspired me to become a paramedic. Congrats on 30 years! TM

To the cast and crew of Emergency, Happy 30th Anniversary and congratulations for being apart of a show which gave us insight to the heroes of 9_11. It is a show that has and will continue to make an impact on all of our lives_always feel proud for being associated with it. Antoinette, Piscataway, NJ

Happy Anniversary to the cast and crew of what is still one of the best shows ever made. What a legacy!! For 30 years, Emergency! (and your roles in particular), has entertained and more importantly, has inspired people to dedicate their lives to their fellow man, risking and sometimes even sacrificing their lives in service to others. My best wishes to all of you. And Randy, we all wait anxiously for USAR1 to make its appearance. I know that it will provide the same inspiration and entertainment to so many as did Emergency! Donna M. Sweet, Eureka, MO

Happy 30th anniversary to the cast and crew of Emergency! Emergency! was one of those rare programs that made a positive impact on people's lives. Thanks a million! And a special thanks to Kevin & Randy. Laura Arnett, Holland, MI

Randy, Happy 30th Anniversary! Congratulations on the achievement of this wonderful show that had inspired a lot of us to pursue a career in Fire Fighting / Paramedics and continues to do so through the reruns that have been shown on TVLand. Thank you for all your hard work in being an active advocate for all these brave men and women who put their lives in danger to help others. Sincerely, Robin Williams P.S. GOOD LUCK with USAR_1!!!!

I'm of a new generation of Emergency! fans. I wasn't born until 1979, and I only discovered this wonderful show a year ago. Like many a generation before me, E! has inspired my career path. A year ago I felt lost and had no real goals. Watching Emergency! ignited my passion and interest for helping people which made me realize that being a Nurse is what I want to do with my life. Next year I'll be applying to graduate school in the the field of nursing. Thank you for your part in creating such an important, educational, and thoroughly entertaining show that has touched (and continues to touch) so many people. Allison Phillips

Happy Anniversary to all the cast and crew of Emergency!. You made Saturday nights exciting. Deb M.

Time passes far too quickly. It seems like only yesterday I watched the 2_hour premiere of Emergency! You know, some things never grow old __ at least not in our memories __ they only get better with time. An incredible show and an incredible cast and crew. Did you ever imagine then that 30 years later, so many would remember? Congratulations and happy anniversary to all of you. Nan M.

To Randy and all those who became a part of Emergency! _Thirty years may have come and gone, but the impact Emergency! had will linger forever. To all those who contributed long ago and made a difference _ congratulations! Your efforts back then continue to make a positive impact every day, and it's not just because of luck that Emergency! is still popular today. Things well made tend to last longer. So, enjoy these Anniversary wishes 30 years later, as they are well deserved. Congratulations! Rebecca

Happy 30th Anniversary to the cast and crew of Emergency! for creating such an incredible show, which, thanks to a little thing called reruns, is still going strong and is as popular today as it was when it first premiered. Cindy Dauer

To the cast and crew of Emergency, Thank you for providing a wonderful television show during my childhood. On a weekly basis my siblings and I would look forward to the newest rescue to be performed by Station 51! Now, as an adult watching re_runs, I'm happy to see the show is still one of quality and stands the test of time. It also provides me with some wonderful childhood memories. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely, Sharon in Canada

What an influence you and Emergency! has had on the world! Kids today know what a Paramedic is, but not when I was growing up. A Para what? You and your fellow actors must be so proud of how "just a paycheck" has changed the world. Have you ever thought how many peoples' lives were saved because of Emergency! How many people are in the medical/fire profession because of Emergency? Although 30 years has passed, Emergency! is still relevant, although the fashions look funny, lol. Although you've all moved on, you should be proud of what you did 30 years ago. Emergency! will live on! Janet

Emergency! was and still is a great show _ I watched it faithfully then and now. Thanks to the cast and crew for all the wonderful episodes. Happy Anniversary! Deb K.

To each and everyone of Emergency!, You all are the best.I have loved the show from the first time it aired. It still is my favorite show and I watch it everyday that I can. No other show gives me more TV enjoyment than Emergency!. Randy you are my hero. Will you marry me. Love you all, Tina Anderson Malibu, CA.
