Honorary Entry
Randolph Mantooth, 80
Died July 9th, 2026

The TV show Emergency inspired the careers of many first responders, myself included. Randy and his co-star Kevin Tighe sat in on actual Los Angeles County paramedic classes and shadowed firefighters, learning how to start IV's and read EKGs.

Randy remained a longtime advocate for EMS and promoted the health and safety of first responders. In an interview with PBS, Mantooth said, "I owe an incredible debt to firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics, so that's a debt that no one can really pay back, but you can try. That's why it's so important for me to do what I do."

Rest easy brother,
DanSun
