Fireman Sam: The Great Fire of Pontypandy
Fireman Sam: The Great Fire of Pontypandy is a 2009 animated film, based on the CGI series Fireman Sam. Directed by Jerry Hibbert, produced by Margo Merchant and written by Dave Ingham, it stars the voice cast of Steve Kynman, David Carling, Su Douglas and Tegwen Tucker. The film introduced a new character Chief Fire Officer Boyce, a Chief Officer who hails from Newtown, and a new location the Lighthouse. In the film, Norman, Derek, Sarah, James and Dilys go pioneering with Trevor Evans in the forest. Norman and Derek attempt to light a campfire to cook sausages by rubbing sticks together. They are called away, not realising that the fire has caught, and this leads to the "Great Fire of Pontypandy" that the townspeople evacuated Pontypandy. It was released on 9 November 2009 by HIT Entertainment.
Plot
In a stormy night, Charlie Jones is working in the lighthouse. But the wind causes him and the lighthouse door to blow over, leaving Charlie clinging onto the railings of the Lighthouse. Eventually, Fireman Sam and Elvis Cridlington save him and manage to replace the broken lighthouse light as well. One month later, Sam is given an award by Chief Fire Officer Boyce, who offers him a promotion to head the rapid response service in Newtown. Sam promises to think about it until the end of the day, which is soon interrupted by a call informing them that Mike Flood has fallen off the boathouse roof and into the sea. As Sam is passing by Trevor Evans in his bus, he tells Sam that Trevor is going to take the Pontypandy Pioneers camping in the forest, who warns that the campfires are not allowed due to the very hot temperatures and the forest being too dry. Meanwhile, Dilys Price has invited Derek on a camping trip with the other Pontypandy Pioneers. As they leave, Norman sneaks some sausages into his bag, who refused to eat bugs and berries.
