[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) When he
hears that fire alarm,
Sam is always cool and calm.
[SIREN]
(SINGING) If you're
stuck, give him a shout.
He'll be there to help you out.
[BELL CLANGING]
(SINGING) So move
aside, make way--
[SPLASH]
(SINGING) --for Fireman Sam
'cause he's gonna save the day.
Fireman Sam, 'cause
he's brave to the core.
Sam is the hero next door.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
FIREMAN SAM: We're all ready,
Station Officer Steele.
STATION OFFICER
STEELE: Very good, Sam.
Now for some floppy
shovel practise.
FIREMAN SAM: OK, sir.
And off we go.
ELVIS CRIDLINGTON:
[GROANS] That's better.
STATION OFFICER
STEELE: Cridlington,
what on earth are you doing?
ELVIS CRIDLINGTON: Oh!
Sorry, sir.
I was just trying to keep cool.
This is the hottest day
I can ever remember.
FIREMAN SAM: All the more reason
why we need to be ready in case
there's a fire, Elvis.
STATION OFFICER
STEELE: Precisely, Sam.
In this weather, you never
knew what could cause a fire.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIZZLING]
JOE SPARKES: Oh!
That was close.
The grass is so dry, the
sunlight through that bottle
nearly set it alight.
All right, Hannah.
Time for our barbecue.
HANNAH SPARKES: Dad,
please tell me you're
not going to wear that hat?
JOE SPARKES: Oh, I think
I look rather stylish.
And this fan keeps me very cool.
I just need to get my barbecue
bits and we'll be on our way.
HANNAH SPARKES: (SIGHING)
Well, at least it can't be
as embarrassing as last year.
JOE SPARKES: Here we are.
Everything you need to make
a deluxe solar-powered,
and might I say, quite
ingenious barbecue.
HANNAH SPARKES: Or maybe it can.
FIREMAN SAM: That's
perfect, Penny.
Cover as much grass as you can
to stop the fire spreading.
PENNY MORRIS: Got it, Sam!
STATION OFFICER
STEELE: Cridlington,
now what are you doing?
ELVIS CRIDLINGTON: Oh!
I'm sorry, sir.
It's just that it's so hot
and the water feels so nice.
[WATER SPRAYING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
FIREMAN SAM: Well done, Elvis.
ELVIS CRIDLINGTON: Thanks, Sam.
JOE SPARKES: I
don't know why you
wanted to have our barbecue all
the way out here at the ruins.
HANNAH SPARKES: 'Cause it's nice
and quiet, with no one around.
And no one can see our
ridiculous barbecue.
JOE SPARKES: I heard that.
But I don't know what you mean.
This will be the best
barbecue in Pontypandy.
[HONK HONK]
HANNAH SPARKES: Oh, no.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
NORMAN PRICE: Hey,
look everybody.
It's Hannah.
Hello, Hannah!
MANDY FLOOD: Hi, Hannah!
HANNAH SPARKES: No!
Stay there.
I'll come over to you.
NORMAN PRICE: What's your
dad building now, Hannah?
HANNAH SPARKES: Nothing.
MANDY FLOOD: Let's
go and have a look.
HANNAH SPARKES: What?
No!
JOE SPARKES: Hi, kids.
Do you want to see my
solar-powered barbecue?
NORMAN PRICE: Yes, please, Joe.
JOE SPARKES: I call it
the "Sun-o-Matic GTC."
This big silver bowl
collects sunlight.
Then focuses it right here.
HANNAH SPARKES:
[SIGHS] Why can't we
just have a normal barbecue?
MANDY FLOOD: Does
it get hot, Joe?
JOE SPARKES: [CHUCKLES]
Yes, Mandy, it does.
Hot enough to cook stuff.
This sausage, for example.
We just pop it down here.
[CLICKING AND BEEPING]
And watch it sizzle.
NORMAN PRICE:
Nothing's happening.
JOE SPARKES: Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
One cloud in the sky
and it just happens
to come along right now.
HANNAH SPARKES:
I've got an idea.
Why don't we all go
over to your barbecue?
You know?
The one with the charcoal--
and the heat?
NORMAN PRICE: Good idea, Hannah.
HANNAH SPARKES: And, Dad?
JOE SPARKES: Yes, Hannah?
HANNAH SPARKES: (PLEADINGLY)
Please take off the hat?
JOE SPARKES: Come on.
You like it really.
HANNAH SPARKES: (SIGHING) Oh.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[BEEP-BEEP]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
FIREMAN SAM: Nothing like a
nice cold glass of orange juice
when you've been
working in the hot sun.
Eh, Penny?
PENNY MORRIS: Mm-hmm.
You're right there, Sam.
Have you lost something,
Station Officer Steele?
STATION OFFICER STEELE: Yes.
I thought I had one of my
delicious strawberry lollies
in the fridge.
But I can't find it.
[SLURPING]
Cridlington!
You're licking my
strawberry sensation.
ELVIS CRIDLINGTON:
I'm sorry, sir.
Would you like it back?
STATION OFFICER STEELE: No.
It's all right, Cridlington.
I'll just have a glass of water.
ELVIS CRIDLINGTON: Oh!
Thank you, sir.
[SLURPING]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
HANNAH SPARKES: [SIGHS] At last,
a normal barbecue with sausages
that are actually cooking.
JOE SPARKES: I'll have you
know, the Sun-o-matic GTC
is a perfectly good
cooking device.
[SIZZLING]
[WHOOSH]
And now that cloud is gone.
The sun will be cooking
that sausage in no time.
HANNAH SPARKES:
[GASPING] It's on fire!
[CRACKLING]
JOE SPARKES: That
doesn't look quite right.
DILYS PRICE: Oh my!
[STAMMERING] Oh!
The Sunny Mattress
Heebie-Jeebie is on fire.
JOE SPARKES: It's the
Sun-o-matic GTC actually.
NORMAN PRICE: We'd
better call Fireman Sam!
HANNAH SPARKES: (ANNOYED) No.
It's only a sausage.
Leave it to me.
[FIZZLING]
There!
[HEAVY SIGH]
JOE SPARKES: You
all right, Hannah?
HANNAH SPARKES: Yes, I'm fine.
But look what you did.
[SIGHS] Why can't you
ever do anything normal?
(SHOUTING) Why do you have
to be so embarrassing?
JOE SPARKES: Oh,
I'm sorry, love.
I don't mean to embarrass
you in front of your friends.
HANNAH SPARKES: But you do!
DILYS PRICE: Is
everything all right?
JOE SPARKES: Everything's fine.
HANNAH SPARKES: I would
just like a regular sausage.
Cooked on a regular barbecue.
With no silly hats involved.
JOE SPARKES: All right, Hannah.
NORMAN PRICE: Look!
[FIRE WHOOSHING LOUDLY]
NORMAN PRICE: The bottle!
[FIRE CRACKLING]
JOE SPARKES: (FEARFULLY)
Move back everyone.
It's spreading.
[SCREAMS]
DILYS PRICE: Look out!
[SCREAMS] Oh, no!
TREVOR EVANS: Stop!
We're moving towards the cliff.
DILYS PRICE: We are trapped.
NORMAN PRICE: Oh!
This time you've really do
need to call Fireman Sam!
HANNAH SPARKES: Oh, no.
My battery is flat.
Now what are we going to do?
JOE SPARKES: We can use my hat.
The solar panels have
got a power adapter.
There!
[CLICKING AND BEEPING]

[BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP]

STATION OFFICER STEELE: There's
a grass fire at the ruins.
And people are

I'm getting 'virtigation' again.
(GROANING) Oh, oh.
TREVOR EVANS: There, there.
What are we going to do?
[DISTANCE SIRENS]
(GASPING) It's Uncle Sam.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
FIREMAN SAM: Penny, you
hose down the grass.
We'll get the floppy shovels.
PENNY MORRIS: OK, Sam.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
(TEARFULLY) I hope
he gets here soon.
NORMAN PRICE: Here he is now.
FIREMAN SAM: Come on, everyone.
Let's get you to safety.
Elvis, make sure everyone's OK.
We need to get this
fire under control.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Go, Sam!
HANNAH SPARKES: I'm
sorry, Fireman Sam.
I caused the fire
when I put a glass
bottle down in the sunshine.
FIREMAN SAM: Well, you can't be
too careful in the countryside
when it's sunny and dry, Hannah.
I'm just glad that
everyone's OK.
TREVOR EVANS: We are--
thanks to Joe's hat.
JOE SPARKES: It's just a
simple photoelectric cell
with a telephone adapter.
HANNAH SPARKES: Whatever
you call it, Dad.
Trevor's right.
It was your ridiculous
hat that saved the day.
JOE SPARKES: I expect
I'm your hero now.
HANNAH SPARKES: (HESITANTLY)
I wouldn't go that far, Dad.
[LAUGHTER]
