Line 16:
* [[Anti-Hero]] / [[Byronic Hero]] /VillainProtagonist: Norman (Type V).
* [[Art Evolution]]: In stages with the different series. Sam and the other firefighters have remained similar in appearance along the way, the twins and Mandy rather less so. Dilys has changed in appearence too, becoming much younger-looking.
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Sam, Elvis and Penny. Notable for actually being the opposite of their hair colour tropes ([[Dumb Blonde]], [[Brainy Brunette]], [[Fiery Redhead]].) Sam (Redhead) is very even tempered, Penny (Blonde) is very brainy and competent and Elvis (Brunette) is, well... [[Idiot Hero|not]].
* [[Bragging Theme Tune]]: "So move aside make way (Fireman Sam!) He's gonna save the day (Fireman Sam!)...". Overlaps with [[Expository Theme Tune]] and [[Title Theme Tune]] to an extent.
* [[Bratty Half
* [[Bungling Inventor]]: Sam.
* [[Butt Monkey|Butt Monkeys]]: Trevor Evans, Mike Flood, and Charlie Jones.
Line 78:
** Elvis and Penny in the original series, as well as Dilys and Trevor.
* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: Sarah and James, frequently. When taken [[Up to Eleven]] as they compete for Sam's attention, they're nearly killed in a forest fire. Averted with Sam and Charlie, who by their own accounts got on well as children.
* [[Shout
** The show's own [[Emergency Squad Scramble]] sequence is an almost shot-for-shot homage to the one from ''[[Londons Burning]]''.
* [[Stiff Upper Lip]]: Averted constantly with Dilys, who's practically a stampede waiting to happen all on her own. However, in [[The Movie]] {{spoiler|she averts this spectacularly as she [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|leads Trevor and all the kids, including her son and nephew, to safety in the midst of the biggest fire in the town's history.]]}}
* [[Stock Footage]]: Largely averted, although a few pieces exist. Station Officer Steele ''always'' runs to the printer and reads out the emergency in the same way, for example. And while the animators went to the trouble of using different sequences for the crew preparing to leave the station (each character's helmet has a specific place on the rack, for example, and it's always the correct ones collected), it's always the ''same'' few seconds of footage used.
* [[Talking to Himself]]: John Alderton voiced ''all'' the characters in the original series, [[Cross
* [[Tear Jerker]]: The episode "Steele Under Par", when Station Officer Steele is forced to retire from his job.
* [[Ted Baxter]]: Norman.
