The apartment building fire, which was filmed in Pasadena, featured members of the Pasadena Fire Department. It is also the first time a city fire company is featured on the show.
The apartment building on fire from the fighter jet crash, (at 775 Worcester Avenue in Pasadena), still stands.
After Johnny has been rescued by the Pasadena fire department fire fighter, he comments that the Pasadena fireman dress kind of funny. They were actually wearing Nomex turn out gear in a brighter yellow color. The county firefighters were wearing older, non-fire proof, canvas turn out gear. Nomex turn out gear is now the standard, and the brighter yellow color is one of several options that are standard and common place.
