Amidst the chaos of war, a brave firefighter emerges as a guardian angel, saving an innocent child from the horrors of bomb damage in Brampton Road during WW2.

The heartwarming tale of Badger and Mole reminds us that true friendship knows no bounds when it comes to rescuing those in need, just like Willow did for them. From high above, a Wessex helicopter descends to save a survivor from certain peril at sea - proof that hope can be found even in the most desperate situations. With unwavering loyalty and patience, a Red Cross dog waits anxiously for its human companion's safe return after another successful rescue mission. The crew members aboard Barry lifeboat Arthur and Blanche Harris Frederick Batten and Eric Fry exemplify selflessness as they risk their lives to save others at sea. During the devastating Blitz in London, an ambulance stationed at Ladywell becomes an emblem of hope and salvation for countless wounded victims during WW2. Firefighters in Lostwithiel demonstrate immense bravery as they battle against fierce flames to protect lives and property in Cornwall during September 1991. In times of great adversity such as Pimlico V1 bombing attack during WW2, NFS (London Region) firefighters prove their mettle by swiftly responding to rescue those trapped amidst chaos and destruction. The Kaman HH-43B Huskie base rescue helicopter soars through the skies with one purpose - saving lives without hesitation or compromise.
