-# Emergency calls he does heed

-# Sam is there at double speed

-# He never fails to lend a hand

-# He keeps things calm.

-He understands

-# He rescues everyone. Sam, Sam Tan

-# Look at the good things he's done.

-Sam, Sam Tan

-# He's amazing, you know

-# Our village's great hero #

-Right then, children,

-it's the Chinese New Year.

-We're going to launch sky lanterns.

-Sky lanterns? What are they?

-Paper lanterns with a candle inside.

-You light the candle, the air

-inside the lantern heats up...

-And the lantern rises.

-Lantern? Candle?

-In the sky?

-Incredible!

-Are they safe?

-What if the lantern started to burn?

-Sky lanterns are safe, Jams,

-as long as they're used properly.

-Don't worry, Mrs Chen

-will be there to supervise you.

-An adult will light the lantern

-and make sure it rises safely.

-The wind is light today

-so everything should be OK.

-Go and fetch your lanterns.

-Hooray, I can't wait.

-Hooray!

-If you need help,

-I'll be in the station.

-As you all know,

-Bessie is a great fire engine.

-She's rather old-fashioned.

-She can fight fires with water

-but she can't handle foam.

-Foam, Station Officer Steele?

-Foam, Station Officer Steele?

-

-Yes, Cridlington, foam.

-Sticky foam, to be precise.

-Sticky foam?

-That sounds interesting.

-Yes, Elvis. When it comes out,

-it sticks to whatever's burning.

-It stops fires spreading.

-There you go.

-Where are the candles?

-I want my lantern to fly now.

-Norman Price, decorate your lantern

-first, like everyone else.

-OK, Mrs Chen.

-This is more difficult

-than I expected.

-How are you getting on

-with the foam squirter?

-It works!

-I look like a snow ghost.

-Mrs Chen, we've all finished.

-Can we light the candles? Can we?

-The paint is still wet.

-They're too heavy to fly.

-Oh, no!

-OK, we're ready for the first test.

-There's a lot of sticky glue here,

-Sam.

-I think we have to make

-some more changes.

-Hello, everyone.

-What beautiful lanterns.

-When can we let them go?

-I've been waiting all day.

-We have to take them

-to the right place.

-Yes, Norman,

-we have to find a safe position.

-Without anything in the way

-to block their path.

-The wind must be calm and blowing

-away from trees and buildings

-OK, OK, OK.

-Where is this place? Is it nearby?

-In you get, children.

-In you get, children.

-

-Hooray!

-The safest place to launch them

-is in the mountains.

-It'll take ages to get up there.

-Think how pretty they'll look

-as they fly through the sky.

-Let's get going then.

-Well, I think

-everything's working now.

-What do you think?

-What do you think?

-

-It's a lot smoother than it... Oh!

-Sorry, Sam.

-Quite alright, Elvis.

-Finally!

-Finally!

-

-Hold on, Norman.

-We need to check the wind direction.

-I'm never going to launch

-my sky lantern.

-Oh, dear,

-the wind direction has changed.

-The foam was blowing right -

-now it's blowing left.

-You're right. It'll also change

-direction on the mountains.

-I'd better call

-Station Officer Steele.

-Hello, sir. I need to get a message

-to Mrs Chen on the mountain.

-Mobile phones don't work up there.

-Mobile phones don't work up there.

-

-I'll get in touch with Moose.

-This won't be a problem for him.

-Tell Mrs Chen the wind has changed.

-If she launches the lanterns,

-they'll fly to the forest.

-I'll do it right away.

-Here we are.

-Finally.

-I have a bucket of water

-just in case.

-Stand in a line holding the

-lanterns. Gareth will light them.

-Thank you, Dad-cu.

-Oh, no. I'll be last.

-Aren't they pretty?

-Hurry up.

-There you go, Norman.

-Up, up and away.

-Norman, wait for the heat to warm up

-the lantern. Otherwise, it'll fall.

-Come on, lantern. Warm up!

-I can feel mine rising.

-Don't let go until I say so.

-One, two...

-One, two...

-

-Wait, Mrs Chen.

-I had a message from Sam Tan.

-The wind has changed direction.

-It's true. It's too dangerous

-to launch the lanterns now.

-Extinguish your candles.

-Extinguish your candles.

-

-What? But...

-I was ready to see it fly.

-I've waited so long.

-Oopsie.

-Norman Price.

-Norman Price.

-

-It slipped out of my hands.

-Isn't it pretty!

-It's not pretty. It's dangerous.

-The wind's blown it

-right into the forest.

-I'd better call Sam Tan.

-A forest fire on the mountains?

-Sam, a forest fire on the mountains.

-We need Tom Tomos

-and his helicopter. And Bessie too.

-It's spreading too quickly.

-It's spreading too quickly.

-

-We're on our way.

-There's not a second to waste.

-It's heading for the children.

-Get ready, Elvis.

-Time to squirt the sticky foam.

-Time to squirt the sticky foam.

-

-Ready and waiting, Sam.

-Press the switch.

-This sticky foam can really

-extinguish a fire, can't it, Sam?

-Of course it can.

-I love sticky foam.

-Tom can extinguish

-the rest of the fire.

-Well done, team.

-Are you all OK?

-Yes, thanks.

-For shame on you, Norman Price.

-There wouldn't have been a fire

-had you listened.

-Sorry, Mrs Chen.

-Sorry, Sam Tan.

-We need to find a safer place

-to launch the lanterns.

-Where? I'll paint another one.

-It'll be incredible.

-No, you won't. You can watch

-after making such a mess.

-Oh!

-There you go.

-There are no dangers nearby.

-The wind has dropped. Off they go.

-One at a time. You go first, Sara.

-Ooh! Ohhhh!

-Don't worry, Norman. You can fly

-a sky lantern this time next year.

-Let's hope we don't

-have to rescue you with sticky foam!

-Mam!

-# He rescues everyone. Sam, Sam Tan

-# Look at the good things he's done.

-Sam, Sam Tan

-# He's amazing, you know

-# Our village's great hero #
