Overview

Sam, Arnold and Penny are on their way to rescue Lizzie Sparkes from the Veterinary Clinics roof only to find that it's Woolly that needs rescuing. Meanwhile, James, Sarah, Norman and Mandy are having a race to the hills and Norman is not happy that James and Sarah are ahead of them. Back at the Veterinary clinic, Elvis arrives in Venus with the rescue pad, Arnold is attempting to get Woolly to come to him and Sam and Lizzie advises him to talk to Woolly calmly, but in the end it's Arnold who manages to fall onto the safety pad below and Sam ends up rescuing Woolly. Norman, angry that Sarah and James are winning, suggests riding a horse to win, but Mandy does not like the idea. Suddenly, the horse speeds off and ends up getting stuck in some mud and the twins call for help. Sam, Arnold and Ellie respond to the rescue call along with their new multi purpose 4x4 Phoenix. Once they arrive Sam and Arnold change into their animal rescue gear and rescue Norman and the Horse from the mud, with Arnold keeping the horse calm. After the rescue Trevor awards the twins with their badges for using their map properly and Norman rants about not winning the race, Sam advises Arnold that there is someone else who needs calming down as well.

About the show

Fireman Sam is an animated comedy children's television series about a fireman called Sam, his fellow firefighters, and other townspeople in the fictional Welsh rural town of Pontypandy (a portmanteau of two real towns, Pontypridd and Tonypandy, which are situated approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) apart in the South Wales valleys). The original idea for the show came from two ex-firemen from Kent, who took their idea to artist and writer Rob Lee who developed the concept, and the show was later commissioned by S4C. Fireman Sam first appeared in Welsh on S4C as Sam Tân in 1987, and later that year in English on BBC1. The original series finished in 1994, and a new series that expanded the character cast commenced in 2005. The series was also shown in Gaelic in Scotland, where it was known as Sam Smalaidh . The series was sold to over 40 countries and has been used across the United Kingdom to promote fire safety.
