Chapter 1: Norman In BIG Trouble

PREVIOUSLY, ON 'FIREMAN SAM: THE GREAT FIRE OF PONTYPANDY'...

"You made a campfire?!" said an outraged Station Officer Steele. "Oh... Norman Price, you've done it this time! Right, where's your mother!"

Dilys stepped up. "I'll make sure he's properly dealt with at home, Station Officer Steele!" She glared angrily at her son. "You naughty boy!"

And indeed, Norman was.

At Dilys' shop, Dilys was scolding Norman and Derek severely.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?!" Dilys shouted at her son. "HOW COULD YOU DISOBEY THE RULE OF NO CAMPFIRES IN THE FOREST?!"

"Well, it wasn't my fault!" Norman said defiantly. "Trevor wouldn't let us take the sandwiches you made! If he had, me and Derek wouldn't have had to take the sausages to the forest and make that campfire!"

"WELL, HOW COME I SMELT SAUSAGES COOKING?!" Dilys snapped. "Oh, right; BECAUSE YOU AND DEREK HAD THE NERVE TO DISOBEY TREVOR AND FIREMAN SAM!" Her voice rose to a scream.

"But- but..." Norman stammered.

"BUT NOTHING!" Dilys shouted, now apparently furious. "Norman Stanley Price, you are grounded! Go to your room!"

Norman and Derek were both gobsmacked. Dilys had never used his middle name when she was angry before. I suppose there's a first time for everything, huh?

Immediately after this, Norman broke down in tears. Needless to say, Dilys and Station Officer Steele were very unsympathetic. "Nobody loves me!" he howled. "I shall run away! I shall!" he said angrily. "You're all so horrid!"

Steele and Dilys were both shocked and offended at this. "Don't you dare speak to your mother like that, Norman Price!" Steele scolded.

"SHUT UP, YOU!" Norman yelled, and then he angrily kicked Station Officer Steele really hard in the nose. Steele fell back against the counter, banged his arm on the edge, and fell to the floor, groaning in pain. "Owwww!" he wailed. "My nose!" He glared angrily at Norman, his nose bleeding, and clutching his hurting arm.

Norman, shocked at what he'd done, quickly ran up to his room. Derek, also as gobsmacked as he had been, followed cautiously.

"Ohhh, that naughty boy!" Dilys snapped. She turned to Station Officer Steele and helped him up. "How dare he kick you in the nose, Station Officer Steele!" she said. "I am very sorry for how that naughty boy of mine behaved lately."

"Yes," Steele said. "Well, it was still very naughty of Norman to-" Steele was rudely interrupted when Dilys dabbed a tissue on his blood-soaked face.

"I do apologize, Station Officer Steele," she said, dabbing round his nose with a tissue, " but I'm trying to wipe the blood off your face."

"Yes," Steele said, "that's quite alright, Dilys, but-" Steele was interrupted when Dilys dabbed his face again.
