    wrong box cover

    The box cover on this page has a picture of Fred Williamson who is NOT in the movie. It's Richard Roundtree in the movie!! Where did this picture come from?? These two guys don't look alike!!

    Not too bad of a 70's movie. I know the fire department scenes were fairly accurate portrayals of life in the station since I come from a family of firefighters. Tension between the guys, racial and otherwise, was and still is typical for any group of people living and working in a tight space such as a firehouse. I especially liked the stunts pulled on the rookie.

    Richard Jaeckel (Hank Myers) went on to star in the TV series that was spawned off of this movie.
