Some networks, such as Odyssey and Discovery Health, replaced the opening disclaimer with a 30-second preview of the episode (these previews were originally shown at the end to promote the next day's episode when Set 1 first aired). The first set of syndicated episodes was stylistically similar to the show's original format, featuring the original introduction with the opening disclaimer, and a full closing credit sequence at the end of each episode. Stories shown on syndicated episodes were often edited for running time, omitting short scenes that were shown in the original broadcasts. These episodes contained no new material they consisted entirely of stories taken from episodes that aired in the original format. Some syndicated episodes featured stories that began on one episode and concluded on the next, which was never done in the show's original format. In the syndicated format, each episode ran 30 minutes and typically included two stories, although a few episodes contained one long-running story. In the original format on CBS, Rescue 911 episodes typically ran 60 minutes and contained three to five stories of rescues.
