Camping

**Camping** is the fifth episode of the first series of *Fireman Sam*.

## Plot

Fireman Sam is now home from work and is going camping with Sarah and James near Pandy Lane. Trevor Evans gives them a lift, but has to go back again as one of the sleeping bags is left behind on the bus. When Trevor returns, the engine of the bus suddenly starts smoking. Sam gets Trevor to phone the fire service, but he manages to sort out the problem before they arrive. Trevor had left his rag in the engine when he last checked his oil. However Elvis and Station Officer Steele's journey is not wasted; a log from the camp fire rolls away and sets the tent ablaze. Sam and Elvis spring into action and put the fire out, but the tent is no longer usable. Station Officer Steele decides that Sam, Sarah and James' camping is most probably cancelled now, but Sam has a better idea. That night, Sam, Sarah and James camp out in Sam's back garden, with their dinner cooked from in the kitchen and a hot water bottle each to keep them warm through the night.
