In the opening episode the intense heat of a house fire pushes multiple crews to the limit as they battle an entire roof on fire, collapsing ceilings and dangerous pets. While Birmingham has its Gay Pride Parade under heavy security only days after the Manchester Arena suicide bombing, crews are called to an explosive incident only a few miles from the city centre which could realise everyone's worst fears.In West Bromwich a watch has a shift which spans everything from a house fire in a drugs den to animal rescues - and the fire services specialist Technical Rescue Unit is called out to a car which has smashed into a sleeping family's living room - putting the whole house at risk of collapse.
