I doubt it, Maybe something on the Welby program, but not very likely- a related angle- in contrast with dozens of Police dramas- only Two programs dealt directly with Fire Fighting and one only indirectly ( Emergency!)_ as various non-fire emergen cies were handled routinely. Fire fighting, especially if handled (Dragnet (or Drag hose lines!) fashion is a tedious and unpleasant job and well, is too close to home for entertainment. the other show Firehouse- with Western regular James Drury as a fire officer- barely lasted one season.

Does a contractor need to be on the subcontractors policy as additional insured?
This is not as simple a question as it may seem.
Subcontractors generally carry their own liability insurance. The General Contractor should verify that the sub contractors insurance either matches or exceeds their own policy limits as this is part of the contract terms for almost every general liability policy.
In effect if you let an uninsured subcontractor work on your job, unless you endorse your own policy to cover the subcontractor and pay the additional premium, their would be no coverage under the General Contractors insurance policy for liabilities of the Subcontractor. Basically if you get this wrong, the General contractor will be on the hook and out of pocket for all the subs damages with no coverage for it.
If you want the subcontractors covered under the General Contractors insurance policy it can certainly be done but will be significantly more expensive as you would be asking to insure a third party''s work.

TECHNICALLY THIS IS NOT TRUE!!
The Definition of "Employer" for the purpose of workers Compensation found at 3300 of the Labor code is strictly limited to State agencies, and public corporations:
As used in this division, "employer" means:
(a) The State and every State agency.
(b) Each county, city, district, and all public and quasi public
corporations and public agencies therein.
(c) Every person including any public service corporation, which
has any natural person in service.
(d) The legal representative of any deceased employer.
(C) is the tricky one. The fact that there is no comma before "including" makes
this a restrictive clause.
Look at the other sections of the CA labor code and you will ALWAYS see a comma
before "including":
Cal Labor Code 1404
A person, including a local government or an employee representative, seeking to establish liability against an employer may bring a civil action on behalf of the person, other persons similarly situated, or both, in any court of competent jurisdiction. The court may award reasonable attorney's fees as part of costs to any plaintiff who prevails in a civil action brought under this chapter.
Cal Labor Code 350(b)
(b) "Employee" means every person, including aliens and minors, rendering actual service in any business for an employer, whether gratuitously or for wages or pay, whether the wages or pay are measured by the standard of time, piece, task, commission, or other method of calculation, and whether the service is rendered on a commission, concessionaire, or other basis.
Cal Labor Code 1160.6
…Upon the filing of any such petition, the board shall cause notice thereof to be served upon any person involved in the charge and such person, including the charging party, shall be given an opportunity to appear by counsel and present any relevant testimony.
Cal Labor Code 4907
The privilege of any person, including attorneys admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the state to appear in any proceeding as a representative of any party before the appeals board, or any of its referees, may, after a hearing, be removed, denied, or suspended by the appeals board for a violation of this chapter or for other good cause.
Cal Labor Code 1701
(b) "Audition" means any activity for the purpose of obtaining employment, compensated or not, as an artist whereby an artist meets with, interviews or performs before, or displays his or her talent before, any person, including a producer, a director, or a casting director, or an associate, representative, or designee of a producer, director, or casting director, who has, or is represented to have, input into the decision to select an artist for an employment opportunity. An "audition" may be in-person or through electronic means, live or recorded, and may include a performance or other display of the artist's promotional materials.
Cal Labor Code 1704
A person, including, an owner, officer, director, agent, or employee of a talent service, who willfully violates any provision of this chapter is guilty of a misdemeanor. Each violation is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year, by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment. However, payment of restitution to an artist shall take precedence over the payment of a fine. The purpose of this trick is that The State Cannot force a private employer into
obtaining an insurance program.
See what the State Style manual, A dictionary of Modern Legal Usage, and
many college style manuals have to say about commas:
Dict of Modern Legal Usage 766
"Restrictive clauses are essential to the grammatical and logical completeness of a sentence.
Nonrestrictive clauses, by contrast, are so loosely connected with the essential meaning of the sentence that they
might be omitted without changing the essential meaning.
King County Style Manual
"Including, such as. Use these terms when the items that follow are only part of the total; don't list everything or end the list with words like and more, and others, etc.
If the words that follow these terms are essential to the meaning of a sentence,
do not put commas before the phrase. But if the words that follow these terms are not essential, commas are appropriate. (Words are nonessential if they can be removed without changing the meaning of the sentence.)"
First, if you cannot omit the clause without changing the basic meaning, the clause is restrictive; use that without a comma. Second, if you can omit the clause without changing the basic meaning, the clause is non restrictive; use which after a comma."
Lastly:
Michigan State University Editorial Style Guide" states:
"Whether to use a comma before "including" depends on the intended meaning of the sentence. The presence of a comma makes the sentence nonrestrictive:
[example given] He managed a variety of projects, including joint, combined, and contingency exercises. (Projects may include joint, combined, or contingency exercises or some combination of the three.)
The absence of a comma makes the sentence restrictive:
[example given] He managed a variety of projects including joint, combined, and contingency exercises. (Every project must include joint, combined, and contingency exercises.)
What is OSHA's definition of a disabling injury?
OSHA does not have, nor does it need, a definition of a disabling injury. That sort of definition would be found in state Workers Compensation laws and regulations, and in Social Security Administration regulations.
