- "You're not 'fiery Flynn', you're 'fumblin' Flynn!"
- ― Dart
Fiery Flynn is the twentieth and final episode of the fifteenth series.
Plot
Thomas arrives at Knapford with some wagons of engine parts destined for the Dieselworks. Then Flynn arrives on his way to the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre. Once there, he meets Diesel who remarks that the fire engine is never busy like he is. Flynn explains that he is waiting to be busy just as the emergency siren sounds. Rocky informs Flynn that there is a blue engine on fire, but Flynn races away before Rocky has a chance to tell him that the blue engine is Thomas, whose firebox is on fire. Edward is waiting at the coal hopper with Dart, who is shunting in a nearby passing loop. Then Flynn races in and thinking he has found the blue engine that is on fire, squirts water all over Edward and his driver. Edward was puzzled at Flynn saving him but Edward did not need saving. Dart laughs at Flynn, making the fire engine even more determined to find the endangered blue engine.
At Maron, Gordon is collecting the Hatt family and Den is picking up freight. Flynn soon arrives and thinking that Gordon is the blue engine who needs rescuing, starts spraying water at Gordon. But Gordon is not the blue engine in need of rescuing and Flynn has accidentally soaked a furious Fat Controller. Den laughs at Flynn, who apologises and races away to find the blue engine that is on fire. Soon Flynn arrives at the Sodor Dieselworks where he finds the blue engine, Thomas, whose firebox is literally on fire. Flynn tries to shoot water from his cannons, but nothing happens; he is out of water, thanks to his earlier blunders with Edward and Gordon and not waiting to hear the full emergency report from Rocky. Diesel, Paxton, and Norman honk at Flynn, laughing at him, leaving Flynn feeling humiliated and ashamed of himself, but Flynn knows what he must do to fix this. He asks the diesels for help and soon their drivers are extinguishing Thomas' fire with buckets of water. Flynn thanks the diesels for their help and heads back to the Search and Rescue Centre to be refilled with water.
Then Diesel rattles in and teases Flynn for not being busy again. This time, Flynn just smiles. Suddenly, the emergency siren sounds again. This time Flynn does not speed off to the rescue; he waits for the full report from Rocky and then races off to Mavis' aid. Mavis is very grateful and Flynn tells her that he will come to the rescue as soon as he is called.
