History Fridge / FiremanSam

** As for the former example, when you consider how close Sam is the twins, it's possible that he may have even become heavily depressed in this alternate universe due to his deaths and this would have taken a toll on his job. So, he ended up leaving the job he loved so much.

* In "Deep Trouble for Sam", after witnessing their Uncle Sam stuck in soil, James questions the possibility of drowning in soil, to which Sarah replies, "Don't says things like that!" This was more just concern for her uncle - she had undergone a similar experience in "Lost in the Fog" so she may have had a greater effect for what her uncle was feeling right now.

* "Wishing Well" has another example of Fridge Horror. After Norman fell into the well, his mother was deeply worried, which prompted to Trevor to launch a search party. Had this not happened, it's possible that Norman would have been trapped down that well forever.

* In "Poorly Penny", Station Officer Steele tells Penny, as well as Sam and Elvis, that WorkingThroughTheCold puts themselves and others in more danger. However, a few seasons later in "Froggy Fantasy", Elvis still rocks up to work despite having a cold and, as expected, ends up putting himself and others in danger due to his [[SneezeOfDoom sneezing]]. However, instead of advising him to take a sick day, Steele is extra hard on him during the drills and ensuing rescue, insisting that a firefighter always completes a drill to the best of their ability no matter how sick they are. Elvis probably came in despite having a cold to avoid letting Steele down, and he still got reprimanded for it. It's a wonder he isn't completely terrified of the guy at this point.

* “Froggy Fantasy” has the fire (Which was Norman’s fault.) come very close to the door where James was locked in. (Again, also Norman’s fault.) Thank goodness Sam put out the fire when he did or things would’ve been much worse.

** This also makes "Norman's Pitfall" all that more horrifying because had Rosa not shown up, Norman, Sam and Elvis would have also died due to a limited supply of oxygen.

** This also serves as Fridge Brilliance when you consider Sarah's reaction to seeing her uncle in the same predicament one series later.

* When you look at the upgrades to Jupiter and Venus in Series 5 and compared the models in the original series, there is the possibility that there were not simply upgrades but completely new fire engines. It's likely that the old engines were starting to show their age and couldn't keep with the times so these two new fire engines were their replacements.

** It may also lead to Penny's transfer to Pontypandy in the same series.

** Considering Wallaby 1 was replaced by Wallaby 2 in "Alien Alert", that's an even bigger possibility.

* "Treehouse Trouble" has yet another example. Had Trevor, Mike and the kids fallen they would have either killed and had life-changing injuries.

-As of Series 5, Trevor is no longer an auxiliary fireman, which is unexplained. But then, considering Trevor's fear of heights, there is a possibility that it could be contributed to him leaving the post. Also, Trevor has already got his hands tied with his main job of driving the bus as well as making deliveries so it's also possible he no longer has the time to contribute his services to the fire brigade.

-When you think about the times when Norman saved Sarah and James in "Snow Business" and Trevor in "Trevor's Bus Boot Sale", let's imagine a world where Norman didn't exist. Neither the twins nor Trevor would have survive because by the time they were found it would have been too late.
