The film introduced a new character Chief Fire Officer Boyce, a Chief Officer who hails from Newtown, and a new location the Lighthouse. In the film, Norman, Derek, Sarah, James and Dilys go pioneering with Trevor Evans in the forest. Norman and Derek attempt to light a campfire to cook sausages by rubbing sticks together. They are called away, not realising that the fire has caught, and this leads to the "Great Fire of Pontypandy" that the townspeople evacuated Pontypandy.
