00:00Too many fire engines.
00:04One day, Thomas was taking the Fat Controller and a team of railway inspectors around the island.
00:12Okay, all in good order.
00:16Our next stop will be the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre, Thomas.
00:21Yes, sir. We're on our way.
00:24At the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre, Belle and Flynn were waiting to be inspected.
00:35See, I can reach that tall tree on the slope.
00:40So, I can reach it too, and the one behind it.
00:46And these are our two fire engines, Belle and Flynn.
00:51Oh, I see.
00:55Belle has had water cannons fitted to her boiler for firefighting,
01:00as you have already seen demonstrated, Belle.
01:06Sorry, sir.
01:07Yes.
01:08Very impressive.
01:09Hmm.
01:11Flynn, on the other hand, has a special water tank for his hoses and water cannons.
01:17And he is able to run on both rail and road.
01:22Right. This is how I switch from rail wheels to road wheels.
01:28Well done.
01:29Very useful.
01:30Hmm.
01:31But tell me, Sir Topham Hatt, do you really need two fire engines?
01:37Wouldn't one be enough?
01:39One fire engine would do for a very small island,
01:44but two fire engines are much safer than one.
01:48I see.
01:49Fair point.
01:50Hmm.
01:51BELL RINGS
01:53Aha! The real thing! The alarm has sounded!
01:58HORN BLARES
02:00There's a fire in some sheds near Wellsworth. You must go!
02:04Bell set off for Wellsworth at once, racing off along the rails.
02:10But it was quicker to get to Wellsworth by road,
02:14so Flynn used his road wheels instead.
02:17Fiery Flynn to the rescue!
02:24I'll be there faster than fast!
02:29I'll be there faster than fast!
02:33Flynn could see the smoke from the fire ahead.
02:36He was getting near when...
02:41Oh, no! What a time to get a flat tyre!
02:47But there was nothing Flynn could do.
02:50He had to watch and wait.
02:53As Bell arrived at the scene of the fire...
02:58..and put it out all by herself,
03:02the railway inspectors were very impressed.
03:07Bell is an excellent fire engine. Really useful.
03:11Hmm.
03:13Well done, Bell!
03:14Very impressive!
03:16You do make the island feel safe.
03:19And Bell was very proud.
03:22Thank you, everyone!
03:25But Flynn was disappointed.
03:28Instead of coming to the rescue, I needed to be rescued myself.
03:33Sorry, Butch.
03:35Don't put yourself down, Flynn. You'll get there next time.
03:39You're right, Butch. I will.
03:42After all, it was only a flat tyre.
03:45I'm still Fiery Flynn!
03:49A few days later, the alarm sounded again.
03:53BELL RINGS
03:56Harold spotted a forest fire near Arlesdale End!
04:00Is Bell going?
04:02She's not here, Flynn! Only you!
04:05I'm on it! Fiery Flynn to the rescue!
04:10The rails were fast and smooth.
04:14Flynn knew he wouldn't get another flat tyre.
04:22Can't stop, Thomas! There's a fire to put out!
04:27Flynn could see the smoke from the fire ahead.
04:31But there wasn't very much smoke.
04:34In fact, it looked more like steam.
04:40Hello, Flynn!
04:42Bell! You've already put out the fire!
04:46Why didn't you wait for me? I could have helped you!
04:49Fires are emergencies, Flynn.
04:52You know that. You can't wait if there's an emergency.
04:55But Flynn was disappointed again.
04:59Never mind, Flynn. It wasn't a very big fire.
05:03What you mean is, you didn't need any help.
05:07You did it all by yourself.
05:10Maybe the inspectors were right.
05:13Maybe the Fat Controller doesn't need two fire-fighting engines.
05:22A few days later, Thomas and Bell returned to Arlesdale.
05:27A few days later, Thomas came to see Flynn with some exciting news.
05:33There's going to be a fireworks display tonight, Flynn, at Ulfsted Castle.
05:38And the Fat Controller wants you to be on duty in case of fire.
05:43Why don't you ask Bell?
05:45Bell can put out fires. She doesn't need any help.
05:49The Fat Controller said to ask you.
05:52After all, you're Fiery Flynn!
05:55The Fat Controller doesn't need two fire engines, Thomas.
06:03So Thomas went off to find Bell instead.
06:08Later that night, Thomas took visitors up to Ulfsted Castle to see the fireworks.
06:15Bell was there too, on guard in case of fire.
06:20But Flynn wasn't.
06:23He was back in his shed at the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre, feeling sad.
06:34Thomas waited in the castle station and watched the fireworks.
06:39It was very exciting.
06:42Cinders and ashes!
06:44You mean gunpowder and chemicals.
06:47That's what fireworks are made of.
06:50And Bell kept her eyes open in case of...
06:55Fire!
06:57Fire!
06:58Come on, Flynn! Get ready to rescue! There's a fire!
07:02You don't need me, Butch. Bell can put it out.
07:06She's already on guard at Ulfsted Castle.
07:08But the fire's not at Ulfsted Castle. It's at Brendan Docks.
07:13Bell can't go. She has to stay at the fireworks.
07:16Really?
07:17Come on, Flynn! We need you!
07:20You're the only engine who can put out the fire!
07:23Okay, I'm ready!
07:28Fiery Flynn to the rescue!
07:33One of the harbour storerooms was on fire at Brendan Docks.
07:39But luckily, there was a fire engine to put the fire out.
07:43Fiery Flynn, at your service!
07:47A fire engine with a water tank for his hoses and water cannons,
07:53who was able to run on both rail and road.
07:58Soon the fire was out.
08:06Flynn started back to the search and rescue centre.
08:11Bell was still keeping guard at Ulfsted Castle.
08:17As Flynn travelled, he saw the fireworks high above him.
08:22He knew that Bell was keeping the other side of the island safe.
08:26I guess the Fat Controller really does need two fire engines to keep the island safe after all!
08:33And everybody knows you can never be too careful.
08:38Everybody knows you can never have too many fire engines.
