On September 30, 2019, WildBrain and Mattel Television announced that a twelfth series was greenlit for a Summer 2020 delivery. [21] Fireman Sam (Welsh: Sam Tân) is a British animated children's television series about a fireman named Sam, his fellow firefighters, and other residents in the fictional Welsh rural village of Pontypandy (a portmanteau of two real towns, Pontypridd and Tonypandy). The original idea for the show came from two ex-firemen Dave Gingell and David Jones from London, England, who took their idea to artist and writer Rob Lee who developed the concept, and the show was commissioned. The idea for the series was coined by two former ex-firemen from Kent, Dave Gingell and David Jones.For the Pontypandy Flower and Vegetable show, Mike is entering a marrow. But he did not heed Sam's advice about turning over the compost in which it is growing. Moose and Mrs. Chen take the children on a trip to the caves under Pontypandy Mountain and Mandy hopes to see bats inside. She wanders away from the group after spotting a bat, but forgets to watch where she is going and falls into a pit.

Fireman Sam is the main character and interacts with both colleagues at the fire station and fellow villagers. Despite being so small, and with so little activity, the village sees its fair share of fires, which Sam and his team can easily handle. The vehicles at the fire station include a four-wheeled Bedford TK fire engine called Jupiter, a six-wheeled 1982 Range Rover Rescue Tender named Venus, and Trevor's Bus, a 1985 Ford Transit Dormobile. Fireman Sam's colleagues are Elvis Cridlington, Station Officer Basil Steele (renamed Norris Steele in the new CGI series) and later Penny Morris (who hailed from Newtown with the fire tender). The villagers are bus driver/auxiliary firefighter Trevor Evans, Italian café owner Bella Lasagne, troublemaker Norman Price, Norman's single mother Dilys Price, and the twins Sarah and James Jones. The objects include M.O.P., Bentley the Robot, and Mechanical Master Chef. While Sam is enjoying his day off, Penny comes down with a cold. But she still tries to do her duty when the Jones family land themselves in trouble. Despite constant interruptions, Mandy tries to stay calm and earn her yoga badge until disaster strikes and she needs to be rescued from a cliff ledge. Station Officer Steele now uses a radio headset to communicate through to Jupiter, Venus and Mercury on emergencies, including a fixed radio in the Mountain Activity Centre.
