Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe episode's title refers to a firefighting technique which involves attacking a fire within compartmentalized areas, while conserving water at the same time. The opening scene shows Captain Stanley instructing his men on the procedure, and it is put to use in the structure fire call at the end. The indirect method is used whenever there is fire inside a small room, like an office or a bedroom. The door is opened, a wide stream of water is put on the fire for just a few seconds, then the door is closed. The theory behind this method states that the fire will convert the water into steam, reducing the volume of air within the room. Soon, the steam cools into water vapor, covering a wide area and squelching the fire.

- Quotes
Paramedic Roy DeSoto: [to Mrs. Hurley, who is cautiously holding a shotgun] Look, ma'am, he hasn't had a heart attack, but he is very sick. Now, he's got to get to a hospital. You should come along with him.
Mrs. Hurley: Oh, no, you're not taking him anywhere and he's gonna stay right here with me.
Paramedic Roy DeSoto: Ma'am, he has a blood clot in the lung. It's very serious.
Paramedic John Gage: Ma'am, I don't think you understand. If this man doesn't...
Mrs. Hurley: I understand, all right. The police put you up to this. It's a trick to get us out of this house. Now--now, you get out of here, right now, and leave us alone! I mean it! You get out of here, right now, or so help me... I'll use this gun.
Karen Overstreet: [stands up completely annoyed] That is the stupidest thing I ever heard. Is this house more important to you than your husband's life?
Mrs. Hurley: Ma'am, we've lived here for over 40 years. We've worked to pay it off. Our children grew up here. They're not gonna take this away from us!
Karen Overstreet: Oh, they will. But they'll pay you for it. Then, you and your husband can go anywhere you want. That is if you still have a husband an hour from now. Now, put the gun down and stop acting like a fool!
Mrs. Hurley: You just don't understand.
Karen Overstreet: Oh, I understand. You're the one that's confused.
