Station Officer Steele

Who do you think should be the replacement actor for Steele, Boyce, Mike, Tom and Trevor, now that David Carling has passed away?

Here's something I did in my time off. I had the idea of drawing Fireman Sam and the other Firefighters in the Style of the Characters from Chicago Fire. All Turnout Gear, Vehicles, and Possibly the Fire Station are based off of the entire Chicago Fire Department. In this drawing, I drew the Firefighters in the Style of the CFD and gave them ranks in terms of the CFD Which are Almost Equivalent to the UK Fire Service Ranks. Oh, and I gave them each a Second Job outside of the Fire Service. The Firefighters are...

1. Fireman Sam - UK Rank: Leading Firefighter, CFD Rank: Captain

2. Elvis Cridlington - UK Rank: Leading Firefighter, CFD Rank: Lieutenant

3. Penny Morris - UK Rank: Leading Firefighter, CFD Rank: Firefighter

4. Norris Steele - UK Rank: Station Officer, CFD Rank: Battalion Chief

5. Ellie Phillips - UK Rank: Firefighter, CFD Rank: Firefighter/Paramedic

6. Arnold McKinley - UK Rank: Firefighter, CFD Rank: Fire Engineer

Notes: Ellie is an ALS (Advanced Life Support) Certified Paramedic and the Fire Station Physician approved by the Home Office, South Wales Fire and Rescue, and NHS Wales.

The Vehicles:

1. Jupiter - 1996 Seagrave Patriot 100' Rear-Mount Aerial Ladder (Truck 81)

2. Venus - 1989 Spartan Gladiator/3-D Heavy Metals Rescue (Squad 3)

3. Fire Ambulance 1 - 2002 Ford F-350/MedicMaster Type 1 Ambulance (Ambulance 61)

Additional Vehicles named Jupiter:

1. 1991 Pierce Arrow/Luverne (1500/500/30F) Custom Pumper (Engine 51)

2. 2007 Pierce Dash 95' Mid-Mount Platform Ladder (Ladder 253)

Additional Vehicles named Venus:

1. 2013 International Workstar

2. 2004 International 7600 (3,000 Gallons) (Water Tender 56 - Phoenix Fire Department)

These Additional Vehicles will be coming soon alongside the Pontypandy Fire Service Divisions of Mountain Rescue, Animal Rescue, Search and Rescue, Coast Guard, and Air Rescue (Air Support). Additionally, the Pontypandy Police will also be coming soon.

If anyone was wondering, I have a lot of things that I put in to make my version of the Fireman Sam Series. The list is seen here.

1. Fire Service Bunker Gear from the Chicago Fire Department.

2. All Vehicles in the Fire Service are also from the CFD. Except for Wallaby 2, Neptune, Titan, Juno, Wallaby 1, the Mountain Rescue 4x4, and the Mobile Command Unit.

3. All Police Vehicles are from either Chicago PD, NYPD, LAPD, or any Country in Europe (Which does include the European Union and the UK).

4. Police Uniforms are from the Chicago Police Department and LAPD.

5. The Fire Service has Station Uniforms for Mountain Rescue.

6. Pontypandy Police now works closely with Scotland Yard, NCA, and any UK Police Force as well as International Counterparts.

7. The Mobile Command Unit will be from the U.S. but it will be from Arizona or California.

8. CFD, LAPD, and Chicago Police are frequently visiting the Fire Service with approval from the U.S. Fire Administration, UK Home Office, FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth, and Developmental Office), Scotland Yard, South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, the Fire Brigades Union, International Association of Firefighters, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, State of Illinois, State of California, Cook County, Los Angeles County, City of Chicago, City of Los Angeles, and the U.S. Department of State.

9. Steele now has his own Vehicle from across Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.

10. Venus is now a Rescue Squad with a Water Tender Unit for Forest Fires. Jupiter is now a Technical Rescue unit and all Firefighters are certified in Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF).

11. Ellie is Certified, Licensed, and Approved by the National Health Service of Wales as a Doctor in Paediatrics and Emergency Medicine, Arnold is the Union President, and Sam is Second in Command of the Fire Station when Steele is out of the Station.

Unpopular Opinion: Station officer Steele is one of the most underrated characters and does not deserve the hate he gets.

In my opinion, he is a fun character, cares about his team and a hero

What's your opinions on Station Officer Steele?

Do you guys think we may get another firefighter in the coming seasons, as we haven't had any new firefighters since Ellie and Arnold joined?

If you guys could ask any Fireman Sam characters a question, what would you ask them?

Hey, does anyone have a theory/head-cannons/ships or unpopular opinions on any Fireman Sam characters? I would love to hear them

The Latest on my fan art. During this weekend, I have been working on a drawing for the Multiverse. With authorization from @Fireman Fan 152 , @The Lothian Buses Hub , and @Harveythecartoonfan2006 , I was able to combine my AU of Fireman Sam with theirs. In this Multiverse are Firefighter Penny Morris and Firefighter Arnold McKinley with Credit to Harveythecartoonfan2006, Firefighter Elvis Cridlington and Station Officer Steele with Credit to Fireman Fan 152, and Fireman Sam with Credit to The Lothian Buses Hub. Firefighter Ellie Phillips, Jupiter, and Venus were courtesy of Me. Background is also given credit to Fireman Fan 152. Jupiter and Venus are similar to Truck 81 and Squad 3 with the UK Standard Design and the vehicle types are a 1989 Spartan Gladiator 3-D Heavy-Metals Rescue and a 1996 Seagrave Patriot 100' Rear-Mount Aerial Ladder from the Chicago Fire Department. The roles for them are as follows below.

Roles:

Norris Steele: Station Officer/First Person in Command

Elvis Cridlington: Firefighter/Station Mess Hall Manager

Penny Morris: Leading Firefighter/Station Mechanic

Fireman Sam: Leading Firefighter/Second in Command

Ellie Phillips: Firefighter/Station Medic (also a Doctor in Paediatrics)

Arnold McKinley: Firefighter/Union President of the Fire Brigades Union

Favorite Quotes:

Norris Steele: "Great Tangled Hoses!!"

Penny Morris: "I'm gonna need your help!"

Elvis Cridlington: "Great Balls of Fire!!"

Arnold McKinley: "I can't wait to get behind the wheel of that."

Ellie Phillips: "You're on!"

Fireman Sam: "Great Fires of London!!" (UK) "Great Fiery Chimneys!!" (USA)

I know this wouldn't happen in the Series but I heard of Fire Service in the UK that has an Ambulance. If the Pontypandy Fire Service in Wales were to have one like the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service and the Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service (In Partnership with the East Midlands Ambulance Service) in England, who would drive the vehicle? Helen has her own which is used for the Search and Rescue team in Partnership with Mountain Rescue, Fire Service, and the Pontypandy Police.

Options:

1. Ellie

2. Penny

3. Elvis

4. Arnold

5. Sam

6. Station Officer Steele

I know this a bit for a random question to ask 3 or 4 years before, but I’m interested to see what you think. I don’t recall much being done for the 30th other than the prince in Pontypandy episode.

Me personally, I’d like to see the Welsh dub to have caught up with the English dub and a 76 minute special to release on 17th November 2027 simultaneously on Cartoonito and S4C. What I’d like to see in this special is a bit of Sam & Charlie’s childhood, more on Station Officer Steele’s early days and the reopening of Caffi Bella

Guys guys guys!!!

We got it

We finally got

Station Officer Steele in full uniform.

This is part of the new Fireman Sam stage show.

I completed a drawing of PC Malcolm with his Police Uniform in the style of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Malcolm had worked with the Metropolitan Police as a patrol officer and a part of MO19/SCO19 before moving to Pontypandy.

Currently in progress, I am working on Station Officer Steele with his CFD Style Uniform and Sergeant Ravani with her Chicago PD Style Uniform.
