Trivia
This series marks the return of Dusty and Rosa. In this series, it was hinted that Dusty and Rosa have a romantic relationship and Rosa is rivals with both Lion and Orange.

This series marks the debut of Buck Douglas' pet cat, who he calls him "Orange" due to the colour of his fur.

This series also marks the debut of eight children, by the names of Buck Douglas Jr (Buck Douglas' 7-year-old cousin), Darren, Pierre, Clyde, Professor Pickles Jr (Professor Pickles' 6-year-old son), Rodger, and Dodger.

Although, they don't belong to Pontypandy, but Jerry Lee Cridlington, Professor Pickles, Buck Douglas, and Hecir Price visit this town frequently. Although, Buck Douglas dosn't visit as often as the other three.

There is a recurring antagonist in this series that is an impostor and a clone of Buck Douglas. Unlike the real Buck Douglas, he does a lot of mischief and gets into trouble. The same person also hosted a TV show called Wierd, But True, which is the first graders' trademark favorite show. Despite being an antagonist, he is very nice to the first graders and he's always cheerful.

This marks Buck Douglas' first apperance in the Fireman Sam series, only in recurring cameo appearances and minor speaking roles. Although, his cousin (Buck Douglas Jr), his pet cat (Orange), and an impostor of him makes major and recurring appearances.

Differences between this series and the 2008 CGI series of Fireman Sam
James is more worried and nervous in this series than in the 2008 series.

Chief Fire Officer Boyce has a sneakier and mischievous personality in this series.

The characters look more cartoonish, simple, and brightly-coloured in this series than in the 2008 series. The atmoshpere is also brightly-coloured.

The characters' Welsh/British accents are stronger and thicker than in the 2008 series.

Gareth Griffiths has an entirely different voice.

An evil Buck Douglas impostor hosts a TV show called Wierd, but True. The reason is because of his love to children and "idiots" (referring to Elvis and Jerry Lee Cridlington), despite him being an antagonist to the others. This show is the first graders' favourite and a running gag shows the kids watching it. This show first appeared in the 22-minute episode UFO: Unidentified Flying Object, while the Buck Douglas impostor first appeared in the episode Mysteries of the Pontypandy Island, the first episode of this series.
