Fireman Sam season 1 episode 8 is titled "The Pontypandy Polar Bear". In this episode, the residents of Pontypandy are gearing up for the town's annual winter festival. Sarah and James, two of Pontypandy's youngest residents, are excited about all of the festivities they have planned, including a parade and ice skating.

But as the day of the festival approaches, a surprise visitor throws a wrench in their plans. A polar bear has somehow made its way down from the Arctic and is now wandering the streets of Pontypandy! The townspeople are immediately concerned for their safety and for the safety of the polar bear.

Fireman Sam and his team are called in to help capture and take care of the polar bear. They work together to build a special enclosure for the bear that will keep it safe and secure until its owner can be found. As they work to build the enclosure, they also have to keep an eye on the polar bear, making sure it doesn't escape and cause any harm to the residents of Pontypandy.

Meanwhile, Sarah and James are determined to help the polar bear, who they have named Poley. They sneak away from the festival to visit Poley in his enclosure and bring him some fish to eat. But things quickly take a dangerous turn when Poley escapes from his enclosure and starts wandering around the town again.

With the help of the whole town, Fireman Sam is able to locate Poley and bring him back to his enclosure safely. They also make a startling discovery about who owns Poley and how he ended up in Pontypandy in the first place.

In the end, the festival goes on as planned, with one special addition - Poley the polar bear is the guest of honor and gets to partake in all of the festivities! The residents of Pontypandy learn that sometimes unexpected surprises can lead to even more joy and excitement than they had planned for.
