Shinra Kusakabe, a youth who gained the nickname Devil’s Footprints for his ability to ignite his feet at will, joins the Special Fire Force Company 8 which composes of other flames users as they work to extinguish any Infernals they encounter.

Reviews
Pretty fun battle shounen with good animation. Story wishes for more, though.
Fire Force is held back by uninspired characters and a poor story but still delivers in pure entertainment
A twelve-year old could write a better story than this. And I should know, I actually DID.
