This is the first of the "Made for television" Emergency! movies, after the series ended due to cost over-runs.
We see all of the regulars, except for Engine 51, and Dr. Mike Morton.
The fire takes place in an office building during work hours.
Actually, the fire is realistic, as are the fire-fighting sequences.
Overall, the acting is a little on the corny side, but then again, who watches for good acting?
The effects are terrific. I consider this to be the best of made for television specials, although some viewers might like the follow-up (involving the crash of a charter plane) to be more intense once the crash happens.
This is actually a more realistic version of "The Towering Inferno" (on a smaller scale, minus the over-the-top action).
