Fireman Sam (Welsh: Sam Tân) is an animated children's television series about a fireman named Sam Jones, his fellow firefighters, and other residents of the fictional Welsh village of Pontypandy (a portmanteau of two real towns, Pontypridd and Tonypandy). It was broadcast for the first time in November 1987 on Welsh TV channel S4C and is shown in more than 155 countries across the world. Originally animated using stop motion (series 1–5), the series has been computer animated since 2008 (series 6–16).
