In year 198 of the Solar Era in Tokyo, special fire brigades combat a phenomenon known as spontaneous human combustion, in which human beings transform into living infernos referred to as "Infernals." First-generation Infernals are cases of spontaneous combustion, while later generations possess the ability to manipulate flames while maintaining human form. Shinra Kusakabe, a youth nicknamed Devil's Footprints for his ability to ignite his feet at will, joins the Special Fire Force Company 8, a unit composed of other flame users tasked with extinguishing any Infernals they encounter. As a faction responsible for creating Infernals emerges, Shinra begins to uncover the truth behind a mysterious fire that led to the death of his family twelve years prior.
