Firehouse tales intro
A (low quality) video of the opening.
Firehouse Tales is an American 2D/CGI animated cartoon produced by Warner Brothers Animation that ran from 2005 to 2006. It aired on Cartoon Network in the U.S. (under its Tickle U block), and their sister service, Cartoonito in the U.K. and Europe. It is about a trio of firetrucks named Red (Jesse Moss), Petrol (Michael Adamthwaite), and Crabby (Richard Ian Cox), in command of the Chief (Ron Halder), the blue firetruck. This show wasn't treated well by Cartoon Network due to low ratings, and hasn't been seen in the U.S. since at least 2007, but it was airing in Europe until September 2014. This show never had a seperate DVD release (until in far future; but however, back in 2005, Bandai released a Firehouse Tales called Squirt the Firedog's Blazing House with Chief the Fire Truck featuring a sneak peak DVD from the show containing Stinky Bubbles and New Truck On The Block), and it isn't known to have been available on Netflix, iTunes, or Amazon Instant Video either. Fifteen episodes are available in it's original English language on the Internet (those being New Truck On The Block, Crabby's New Nozzle, Stinky Bubbles, Spinner Spins a Tale, Older But Wiser, Stinky's Smelly Bath, Tug to the Rescue, Inspection Day, The Truck Who Cried Fire, Don’t Look Down, When the Chief’s Away, Crabby Will Play, Showtime!, The Big Balloon Chase, Tunnel Trouble and Petrol's Paint Job respectively), but there are some more episodes of it in Hungarian, (European) Spanish, Greek (formerly), and (European) Portuguese.

The episode "Petrol's Paint Job" (the opening and credits are missing, because at the time, Cartoon Network in the UK would usually skip them both on a lot of their shows) has been uploaded by Lastofthetimelordz, and it is possible that he can upload more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g84AmM_fVAk
