Trivia
This is the first unlimited theatrical outing for Fireman Sam. The previous three movies only had limited theatrical screenings.

This is one of the rarest moments where Norman Price doesn't appear at all and Derek Price takes his spot. This is also the first special where Norman Price doesn't appear. Norman previously didn't appear in the Series 11 episodes "Bad Luck Elvis" and "Walliby 2 to the Rescue".

Fireman Sam's as-yet-unnamed temporary replacement is a comedic parody of Wilf from the 2014 British animated decent hit Postman Pat: the Movie. Although, in order for this film to not look too similar to the Postman Pat movie, this character has Norman Price's personality mixed in with Wilf's agnorance, and he look younger and nicer.

This film is based on the potential 2018 film The Fireman Sam Movie, which has a similar plot and characters, but is about singing rather than film acting.

If the running time for this film is officially 60 minutes, then it'll be the shortest theatrical film of 2018.

This is the first film to be animated by DHX Media themselves. They previously animated New Fireman Sam.
