Ep 1. All At Sea

Fireman Sam is back with an all-new episode for its ninth season and it's named "All At Sea". The plot revolves around a group of kids and elders who embark on an adventure to explore an island offshore. However, things take a dramatic turn when they find themselves in danger, and it's up to Fireman Sam and the rest of the rescue team to save the day.

The episode kicks off with the children of Pontypandy School excitedly discussing their field trip. They are to spend a day exploring the island offshore, known for its beautiful hidden coves. As they set sail on the dilapidated boat, Bella's dad, Michael, and elderly visitors Mr and Mrs Chen arrive and eagerly hop on board. All seems well until the boat encounters extremely rough seas, threatening to derail the trip entirely.

The boat drifts off course and Michael, who's driving, loses control, causing them to become adrift at sea. To make things worse, one of the visitors, Mrs Chen, injures her leg during the ordeal. It's apparent that they need help, and fast!

Back in Pontypandy, Fireman Sam and his team hear the distress call and decide to head to the rescue. With a coastguard boat at their disposal, they immediately set off to sea, determined to find the stranded boat.

As they approach the offshore island, they discover the children's boat abandoned and adrift in the choppy waters. After searching the island, they eventually find the group stranded on a cove, where they are providing first aid to Mrs Chen.

As Fireman Sam and the team tend to the injured visitor, they quickly put a plan into action to rescue the group. With the tides rising, and the winds whipping up, they know they have to act quickly. Sam pairs up with the coastguard to help save the stranded kids and visitors, who are clinging to the island's rocks to avoid the incoming high tides.

Despite facing nautical obstacles, such as sudden high tides, remote locations, choppy waters, and unpredictable weather, Sam and the team manage to save the group, and they soon return back to the safe shores of Pontypandy.

Once the group reaches safety, the team of rescue workers finally sigh in relief as they reflect back on the daunting events of the day. Mrs Chen is taken to hospital, where she gets treated for her injury, and the children are reunited with their parents. In the end, the day ends beautifully with everyone safe and sound, with a renewed appreciation for the dangers that lurk in the sea.
