The episode begins with Shun Onoda's first day at the Fuwa Fire Department's special unit. The morning routine includes a meticulous check of the equipment, which overwhelms Shun. He is advised to follow Igarashi Teppei, a firefighter from the 1st Unit, to get acclimated. Igarashi's eccentric demeanor makes Shun wary but also curious.
During the equipment check, the routine is interrupted by an emergency call. A building fire is reported at Ariwara Station, and the Special Rescue Corps is dispatched. When the team arrives at the scene, a three-story building is engulfed in flames. The building has been destabilized by an explosion, and a Code 252 is declared—a person is trapped inside.
The team splits up to search for the trapped individual, a man in his fifties. Shun is nervous but determined to prove himself. The team communicates through shouts and hand signals as they navigate through smoke and debris. Igarashi locates the trapped man, who is pinned under a collapsed beam. To make matters worse, a piece of rebar has pierced the man's arm.
The team slightly lifts the beam using an airbag and attempts to secure it in place with wedges. However, they realize they cannot raise the beam further without risking a ceiling collapse. Daigo Toake, another firefighter, suggests crawling under the beam to cut the rebar. To fit into the tight space, Daigo contorts his shoulder.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger: Daigo prepares to crawl under the beam to cut the rebar and rescue the trapped man. The preview for the next episode suggests the situation will become even more dangerous.
