Description:  Emergency +4 is a 1970s animated TV series based on the live-action show Emergency! that features firefighter-paramedics Johnny Gage and Roy DeSoto, voiced by their original actors. In the cartoon, the "+4" refers to four children and their animal companions (a dog, a hawk, and a monkey) who join the two paramedics on rescue missions. The show was designed for a Saturday morning audience, featuring action-adventure plots involving various emergency scenarios.

Characters: The main characters are the firefighter-paramedics Johnny Gage and Roy DeSoto, voiced by Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe, respectively. They are assisted by four children—Carol, Matt, Jason, and Randy—and three animal sidekicks: a dog named Flash, a hawk named Charlemagne, and a monkey named Bananas.

Plot: Each episode follows the Paramedical Rescue Service as they respond to emergencies. The "+4" children assist in the rescue operations, using their own training and sometimes their customized rescue buggy to help the paramedics.

Animation and tone: The series was a Saturday morning cartoon, so the plots and action sequences were simplified for a younger audience. The animation style was simple, with a look that resembled storyboards.
