Production notes

Children's stop-motion animation about a cheery, friendly Welsh fireman.

Nee Naa Nee Naa- never far from the sound of a fire engine is brave, resourceful Fireman Sam. He is calm in a crisis, a pillar of the community, and the hero of every rescue. Let Fireman Sam take you on a fiery adventure.

Brave and determined Fireman Sam and his team come to the rescue in a little town in Wales called Pontypandy. With Fire Officer Steele and Fireman "Elvis" Cridlington, he's always on the ready, to speed into action at the first sign of an emergency- saving friends and neighbors and local mischief-maker Naughty Norman from unpredictable and perilous situations.

Fireman Sam is used by fire brigades across the United Kingdom to deliver a safety message to children.

Broadcast simultaneously in English (on the BBC) and Welsh (on S4C).

Welsh title of series: "Sam Smalaidh."
