Trivia

One year later in 1996, this show was made into a vhs copy of the show and it became Fireman Sam in Action.

This show was Gary Lucas second show to play Fireman Sam.

Around the same year, there was a soundtrack called “Fireman Sam Ready for Action”, made with all the songs from the previous the shows and under the same name as the last stage show.

This was the last stage show that’s based on the classic series.

This would have been the last show to Feature all of the characters together. As the recent shows would only have Sam, Elvis, Penny, Steele and Norman.

This would also be the Last show we would see the Jupiter prob used for the Fireman Sam Stage shows. But the prop would have one more appearance in Fireman Sam in Action.

All the songs from the show would later be used in Fireman Sam in Action, apart from Trevor’s song, Bella’s song and Dilys' song.
