Syndicated Episodes
[edit]In 1993, a re-formatted version of Rescue 911 began airing in syndication. In this format, each episode ran 30 minutes and contained two stories (or sometimes one long-running story) taken from episodes that originally aired in the hour format on CBS.
The syndicated version of the series consisted of three "seasons" (hereafter referred to as "sets") of 100 episodes that initially aired in first-run syndication from 1993 to 1996. The syndicated version subsequently aired on several national networks including The Hallmark Channel (formerly Odyssey), Discovery Health Channel, Justice Network, and GetTV.
The syndicated episodes are generally shown in production order when the series airs on national networks. When the show aired in first-run syndication, local affiliates across the U.S. aired the same block of five episodes within a given week, typically showing one episode per day Monday through Friday; the original air dates listed follow this convention. However, some stations deviated from this schedule (e.g., WCCB in Charlotte, NC aired two episodes Monday, two episodes Tuesday, and one episode Saturday for most of the first set). Although episodes aired somewhat out of production order in first-run syndication, especially in Set 1, blocks of five episodes aired in production order within a given week. The Justice Network air dates are included to establish the production order, as Justice has aired the most syndicated episodes to date (285 out of 300) of any U.S. network since the show aired in first-run syndication.
Set 1
[edit]The first set of syndicated episodes originally aired from 1993 to 1994 and consisted of segments from Seasons 1–3 (including Episode 4.8, which was postponed from Season 3). The television listings did not provide episode descriptions for the weeks of August 23, August 30, and November 1, 1993, so the original air dates for 15 of the episodes in Set 1 may be earlier than the date given.

Unaired Stories
[edit]Several segments were filmed for Rescue 911 that never aired on the show. The following segments were reported in various local newspapers.
- A boy and his great-grandfather lost in the wilderness: In August 1989, ahead of the first-season premiere, Rescue 911 film crews traveled to Centralia, Washington to film a segment about a ten-year-old boy and his great grandfather who were lost for five days in the hills of the Coast Range near Pe Ell, Washington.[61] The would-be segment was to run nine minutes and was tentatively planned to air in the fall but never materialized. A similar segment about two girls lost near Colorado's Devil's Head Lookout aired that November, and another about a young boy lost in New Mexico's Pecos Wilderness aired the following spring.
- A snorkeling accident leaves a man with air embolisms: In August 1992, Rescue 911 crews filmed a segment about an incident that occurred earlier that year in Florida's Vortex Spring. A snorkeler swam 30 feet down to investigate an overturned cattle trough with an air pocket inside (called the "talk box") that scuba divers use to talk to one another underwater. The man inhaled the pressurized air inside the talk box and resurfaced too quickly without exhaling, which caused the air in his lungs to expand rapidly and rupture multiple airways, releasing deadly air bubbles into his bloodstream. He was treated in a hyperbaric chamber and subsequently made a full recovery, despite the expectations of hospital staff. The segment was expected to air in fall of 1992, during the show's fourth season.[62]
- A deaf couple uses a TDD to call for help: In August 1993, a segment was filmed in Midland, Texas about a deaf man who used a TDD to communicate with a 911 operator when his wife, who was also deaf, suffered heart failure. She was rushed to the hospital where she underwent a life-saving quadruple bypass operation. The couple opted to play themselves in the re-enactment. The segment was filmed by Katy Productions, a Los Angeles-based production company. It would have likely aired in the fifth season.[63]
- A newly installed smoke detector saves a family: In May 1995, Rescue 911 crews filmed a segment in Windsor, Ontario about a mother and her two-year-old son who escaped a fire thanks to a newly installed smoke detector. Earlier on the day of the incident, she had called the local fire department when he got his head stuck in a rocking chair. While responding to the call, the firefighters noticed they had no smoke detector in their apartment and installed one for them. Just hours later, a fire broke out in the kitchen while they slept. The smoke alarm awakened the mother and allowed her to safely escape with her son. The segment was expected to air sometime in the seventh season.[64][65]
