Spontaneous Human Combustion has plagued humanity for years, randomly transforming ordinary people into flaming creatures known as Infernals. While Infernals make up the first-generation accounts of Human Combustion, the second and third generations became known as pyrokinetics—people gifted with the ability to manipulate and control their flames while remaining human. To combat the Infernal threat the Special Fire Force was made. Young third-generation pyrokinetic Shinra Kusakabe with his explosive ability to ignite his feet at will, becomes a member of the lively Special Fire Force Company 8. He is determined to become a hero who will save the lives of those threatened by the flame terror. However, this is not the hero's game Shinra imagined. Faced with many obstacles within and outside the Fire Force, Shinra fights to uncover the truth behind the burning mysteries that have kept him in the dark.
