The Special Fire Force is an organization that features in Fire Force.

History

The Special Fire Force (特殊消防隊, Tokushu Shōbōtai) was an organization that was created to deal with the threat of Infernals and find a cure to Spontaneous Human Combustion. The Earth was noted to had experienced an event called the Great Cataclysm (大災害, Daisaigai) around 250 years ago as a result of the Adolla Burst (アドラバースト, Adora Bāsuto) that altered the face of the planet. In time, a new danger began to emerge whereby humans underwent Spontaneous Human Combustion and transformed into rampant fire wielding Infernals. To combat this, the Special Fire Force was created where it was originally formed by members of the Fire Defense Agency, Tokyo Army and the Holy Sol Temple.

Around this time, a firefighter by the name of Setsuo Miyamoto became mentally unhinged and killed four innocent people for his amusement. The incident led to negative public perception of the Fire Defense Agency with a trial being held with Miyamoto acting as if he lost his sanity. Ultimately, the judge held him not being guilty as the agency could not have their reputation shamed by making one of their own into a criminal. However, during the trial, he suffered from Spontaneous Human Combustion and transformed into an Infernal where he attempted to kill more people. Members of Company 8 responded to the incident where he defeated the Infernal but Company 5 arrived where they took possession of Miyamoto as they claimed that the fact he still retained his intelligence made Setsuo as a scientific curiosity worthy of study.

Princess Hibane noted that many of the incidents involving sudden emergence of Infernals came to be within the territory of the 1st Company. Obi decided to use the Rookie Reassignment System to send their junior members into the 1st brigade to spy on them and gather intelligence. Shinra came to find out that the person responsible was Rekka Hoshimiya who made use of special bugs that transformed innocents into Infernals. He was defeated and apprehended but then mysterious parties were responsible for silencing him where he was killed by a sniper. The encounter led to the 1st Company providing their own support to finding out deep this conspiracy was within the Special Fire Force.

Overview

In appearance, the Special Fire Force was an organization whose primary objective was to solve the secrets behind the Human Body Ignition Phenomenon and to purify Flame Humans. Their ranks were open to anyone with recruits being send to training facilities before joining the ranks of the force. One of the nicknames given to them was the Blue Stripes (青線, Aosen) due to their uniforms. Members of the Special Fire Force wore bunker gear that was characterised by the style of their individual brigades. Typically, this consisted of black helmets on the heads that designated their area of operation and the company number. Fire soldiers wore large jackets that had bright neon-blue stripes across the arms and stomach area along with a collar that directed outwards. Jackets of the Special Fire Force had buttons that were shaped in the form of a cross. When not in the field, they typically were seen wearing orange jumpsuits when they were off-duty. They were sometimes confused with the personnel of the Fire Defence Agency leading to some calls where they were sent for simple errands such as helping dogs from trees.

Ranks within the Fire Force included:

• Battalion Commander (大隊長, Daitaichō) : these were the Captains that served as the leader of the elite brigade.
• Company Commander (中隊長, Chūtaichō) : these were the Lieutenants who served as the second-in-command of the brigade.
• Fire Soldier (消防官, Shōbōkan) : the rank and file soldiers within the Special Fire Force with these being divided between the First Class (一等, Ittō) and Second Class (二等, Nitō).
• Sister (シスター, Shisutā) : a priest attached to a brigade and tasked with administering a prayer for the Infernal before their elimination.
• Science Team (科学捜査班, Kagakusou Han) : consisted of a team of scientists that operated for the brigade.
• Engineer (機関員, Kikanin) : responsible for operating the weapons department and was in charge of maintenance of equipment.

In addition, the Special Fire Force was divided into 8 companies that were spread out around the city with these areas serving as their respective territories. It was said that whilst all the company's had a shared goal in ending Spontaneous Human Combustion that they also had their own personal motivations and loyalties to different parent groups. Thus, there was no information sharing between the company's and there was a rivalry that could border on hostility between them.

The Rookie Reassignment Training System within the manual allowed for 1st rank Firesoldiers to temporarily be assigned to another company in order to learn from their techniques. Once the reassignment period ended, the Firesoldier returned to their own brigade with them being armed with the new skills that they had learnt during the exercise.
