**Fireman Sam** (full name **Fireman Samuel "Sam" Peyton Jones**, or simply known as **Sam**) is the protagonist and one of the main characters in the children's animated series of the same name.

After completing his firefighter training at the Cardiff Fire Academy, Sam returned to Pontypandy and moved into a house at 3 Vale Road and joined the Pontypandy Fire Service, where he is the lead firefighter and regular driver of Jupiter the fire engine.

## Biography

After completing his firefighter training at the Cardiff Fire Academy, Sam returned to Pontypandy and moved into a house at 3 Vale Road and joined the Pontypandy Fire Service, where he is the lead firefighter and regular driver of Jupiter the fire engine.

In his spare time, Sam likes being an inventor in his back garden shed. In "Sam's Day Off", he made a popcorn machine which unfortunately ended up trapping him in his shed.

There have been a few times where Sam has needed help from the fire service himself. For example in "Deep Trouble for Sam", when he falls down a hole caused by a landslide at Penny Morris' new cottage garden.

In the sixth season, he moved to a house just to the left of the Pontypandy Fire Station. The back gate of the house leads directly into the station yard.

Sam's brother Charlie is a local fisherman and his sister-in-law Bronwyn runs the whole fish café. Sam is a kind and attentive uncle to Charlie's and Bronwyn's children, Sarah and James.

During *The Great Fire of Pontypandy*, when Chief Fire Officer Boyce gave Sam a medal, he was also offered a Station Officer position for the Rapid Response Team in Newtown. However, by the end, he declined the promotion as he knew that Pontypandy needed him more and he refused to leave the town.

In *Set for Action!*, Sam was controversially dismissed from the brigade by Chief Fire Officer Boyce after a failed safety inspection during one of Don Sledgehammer's stunts, but was reinstated by Boyce after James gave evidence that it was Flex Dexter who sabotaged the stunt scene. During his sacking, his true reason for becoming a firefighter was fully revealed: while Sam was talking to Charlie about their childhood, they remembered an old fireman show they used to watch on television when they were younger.

## Personality

Sam is a competent and brave firefighter, who helps keep the people of Pontypandy safe. He considers his job to be the best job in the world, and often helps out in emergencies even on his days off. However, he does have an inventive streak which sometimes gets him in trouble when one of his inventions goes haywire: since the sixth series, he has stopped inventing, though he can be creative from time to time, such as fashioning a barbecue out of an oil drum in "Sausages vs. Shrimps".

He lives in the village of Pontypandy. He is a single man, but has a close relationship with his niece and nephew, Sarah and James, and is good friends with the villagers of Pontypandy.

Fireman Sam is brave, modest and dependable. He selflessly puts his life on the line to help others and everyone in Pontypandy knows that nothing is too much trouble for Fireman Sam. He is renowned for keeping a cool head in a hot spot. It's only when he's really surprised he exclaims, "Great Fires of London!".

## Appearance

Sam has fair skin with dark red auburn hair and eyebrows and sky blue eyes. As he is a fireman, he wears a yellow firefighter's helmet, a blue jacket, yellow trousers, a black belt, and black boots.
