So,me and my freind are messing around at this current moment but I found a image of fireman Sam lying dead on the floor with blood all over the floor.Truly,a masterpiece.I also found a couple images on youtube were the characters were burning alive.
Mind-boggling money consumption, life-threatening inhabitants and a fire department out of control: Welcome to Pontypandy.
1: The huge number of events
Given that Pontypandy is a small village with about 25 inhabitants (of which seven are full-time employees in the fire department), there’s a sensational amount of events that require efforts from the emergency response unit.
In each episode, which apparently rarely takes place more than a couple of days apart, there is at least one emergency that requires the use of sirens and emergency lights (one may also question the purpose of the eager siren use considering Pontypandy hardly can be said to be bothered by particularly busy traffic).
It is also strange that the inhabitants of Pontypandy have no relation to the emergency number, but always have to "call Sam" when the accident(s) occur.
Nevertheless, the inquiries always end up in paper form from the fax machine at the fire station, although in recent years there has been an investment in a modern operation center with computers.
2: Life-threatening emergencies never have consequences
Of the very many events that lead to emergencies in Pontypandy, it is difficult to avoid noticing that young Dennis Norman is strongly overrepresented when the causes are mapped.
Nevertheless, there are no consequences beyond a request from Fireman Sam to be more careful. This though is not enough to prevent young Norman from continuing to light up things, play with fireworks, or carry out other life-threatening actions that lead to the need for sirens and rescue efforts.
Given the strong presence of the fire service in general, there is reason to call for other municipal services. Where is the school? DPI office? Child welfare? Security service?
3: Equipment Quantity
When the series started in 1987, Pontypandy had one fire truck (Jupiter). Since then, the city's fire and rescue department has experienced a massive growth.
The Pontypandy main fire station has been remodeled four times since the late 80's, and today it appears as a state-of-the-art emergency institution.
To cover a city with just over over 20 inhabitants, Pontypanda's fire and rescue service today has an impressive array of resources and equipment: a six-wheeled fire truck with a lift, a state-of-the-art lifeguard, an A

Fireman Sam has been dropped as a fire service mascot, following claims he is not inclusive enough.
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service said it made the decision after receiving negative feedback about the mascot, which is based on the popular children’s TV show.
Earlier this year, the service criticised children’s TV show Fireman Sam and Peppa Pig of being sexist for using the term “fireman” instead of “firefighter” during an episode.
Think about it for a second. They live in a small village which appears to be in a very rural area where there is basically bugger all to do on an evening. Sam and Norman are the only two gingers in the village. You've never seen anyone claiming to be Norman's father, Norman lives with his mum and no one else. Sam knobbed Mrs Price back in the day, she was a bored spinster and the local fireman was showing her a bit of attention so one thing led to another and he knocked her up.
I'd always thought lack of a father figure was why Norman is such a little shit but now I believe that Norman either knows or strongly suspects that Sam is his biological father. It's why he starts a hundred fires a year in Pontypandy, it's the only way he knows how to get the attention of his old man.
I hate this little whiney CGI fucktard more than most things.
Surely I can’t be the only parent who clearly sees that Sam and the town would be better off without him.
I just managed to set a fucking huge pan of olive oil on fire. I don't know about you, guys, but fucking huge fires aren't part of my daily life.
I'm on holiday in Crete with some of The Lads (cue Chelsea Dagger), and we were having a barbecue, so I decided to take charge of the potatoes to accompany. I parboiled them, chopped the garlic and rosemary, and set about heating the oil in a large pan. When I came to take the lid off the bastard, whoosh. Fire everywhere.
I haven't a flipping clue about fire in any form, but the second I saw it, after a brief period of internal screaming, my mind flashed back to an episode of Fireman Sam dealing with exactly this problem. As such, I set about soaking a teatowel under the tap, and had enough sense to tell one of the other lads approaching the pan with a bottle of water to stop (and call him a silly bastard into the bargain). Third go with the teatowel sorted everything out. But yeah; a program about Welshmen (of all things) I watched for a brief period of time as a child probably saved us from serious injury, and the property itself from serious damage. Mental.
The only thing I've got to wonder now is when is Postman Pat going to save my life?
He's a national hero! Leave him alone!
We've gotten to a point that soke people genuinely believe that male role models actually make girls think they can't do something. One of the main characters on the show is Penny - one of the other firefighters. It's completely ridiculous that this shit is being shoved down kids throats.
Edit: Don't get me wrong, I'm for equality - quite a few of our local fire brigade team are women, aswell as our paramedics and coastguard where I live. But this isn't equality - they're practically saying that it's bad because it's a man.
