Squad 51 is a 1972 Dodge D-300 truck that served as the rescue squad on the American television series Emergency!, one of three identical body-style squad vehicles used during filming across the show's seasons. Universal Studios had the truck built from scratch to the specifications of the Los Angeles County Fire Department, and it carried a Chrysler 440 cubic inch gasoline engine with a Torqueflite automatic transmission. Later chassis were fitted with 1972 grilles so that stock footage of the squad on city streets could keep being used. After the series the truck went into reserve paramedic service with the fire department, and in 1999 it was donated to the Los Angeles County Fire Museum in Bellflower, California, where a complete frame-off restoration was carried out. It now stands beside Engine 51, the fire engine it worked with on screen.
