==Backstory==
Norris Steele was born and raised in Newtown. After completing high school, he started his career as an "Army Officer".
Later on, he began his firefighter training at the Newtown Fire Academy along with Chief Fire Officer Boyce. Upon completing his training, they both began work at the original Pontypandy Fire Station (which is now the Railway Station) and operated on Bessie.
==Personality==
As a former "Army Officer", Steele insists upon a high standard of both cleanliness and proficiency in the fire station. He intends to lead the firefighters into the path of success.
Station Officer Steele is generally portrayed to be strict and mature. He always seems to gasp when an emergency comes in. At the same time, Steele is not afraid to unleash the child within him, showing an interest in kite flying and paper planes and also maintains a gentle rivalry with Chief Fire Officer Boyce.
