Firefighter of Tomorrow is the twenty-fourth episode (tenth episode in the Welsh dub) of the fifth series.

Norman wants to be a fireman when he grows up, but he can't wait that long.

This was Rosa's last appearance.
This is the only clip show episode in the series.
Stock footage from Danger Falling Sheep, Joker Soaker, Twitchers in Trouble and Beast of Pontypandy is used.
Elvis Cridlington is seen pushing a green button marked with a black arrow pointing up on the turntable control panel. What the button does is unknown. He has only pushed the button two other times in Let it Snow and Norman's Invisible Friend, though Fireman Sam has previously in Fiery Finale.
The gas detector from Norman's Pitfall can be seen on the bottom equipment shelf as Norman Price is putting on some of the gear. What appears to be a radio (either one of the standard ones without the protective leather case or a different one altogether) can also be seen on the middle shelf.
- Station Officer Steele's helmet appears to be missing from the shelf, though it might be somewhere off-screen.
This is the only Series 5 episode where one of Jupiter's extension ladders is used.
This episode last aired on CBeebies on Sunday 5 August 2007 at 17:15pm.

James says that they have never seen a firefighter being rescued before. However, they did see Penny being rescued in Bentley the Robot and Sam being rescued in Deep Trouble for Sam, though they might have being saying so sarcastically.
Jupiter's left side middle locker contains a roll of hose and nozzles instead of a pump.
