“Cinders and Ashes!"
"Exactly! Leaving a campfire burning could start a bushfire which could spread through the whole rainforest!”
― Thomas and Ranger Jill

Banjo and the Bushfire is the twenty-fourth episode of the twenty-second series.

Plot

While delivering food supplies, Thomas almost hits a Kuranda Tree Frog with one of his food bags and is warned by another engine called Tamika to be careful, because of how the Frogs are endangered. She then tells Thomas about it being amongst several animals that are endangered and hopes that they can keep it like that.

While getting some water, Thomas encounters a ranger called Ranger Jill who is trying to rescue a Kookaburra. Whilst trying to find it, she hears its cry in the distance and asks Thomas for a lift, for which he agrees. Ranger Jill finds the Kookaburra with some rubbish on its head that was not thrown away, as well as a campfire that was not put out. She then attempts to warn Thomas about whistling loudly in the forest for fear of scaring the animals.

After rescuing a baby Crocodile that has not hatched yet, Jill travels to return it when Thomas attempts to shoo a Koala Bear from the tracks. After Tamika and Jill tell Thomas that he is not treating the animals in the right way, Jill thinks that maybe Thomas should not help her.

Whilst delivering his trucks, Thomas notices a campfire that looks quite big, only to find that it is actually a bush fire and the animals are in danger. With the Koalas being too slow to escape, Jill sets out to rescue them. She is able to get them all, but Thomas notices one that is not with the others and attempts to find it. He does so and brings it back to Jill. After she and Tamika congratulate Thomas for what he has done, the baby Crocodile that Jill found hatches out of its shell and Jill decides to name it Thomas.
