Chapter 36

is the thirty-sixth chapter of the Fire Force manga series.

Summary
As Akitaru and Takehisa figure out a connection between people wearing white clothes and turning into Flame Humans, they begin to reminisce about how the 8th Special Fire Brigade was formed and their first mission. Three years ago, while Takehisa and Maki were still soldiers of the Tokyo Army, another soldier at the base, Takehisa's friend, fell victim to the phenomenon and began transformation into a Flame Human. Struggling to kill his own friend albeit going through extreme pain, another group of soldiers came to purify and kill the Flame Human; the trauma leading Takehisa to leave the army. Soon after, hearing sirens in the streets of Tokyo, he chased the sounds and came across a fire scene, and an Akitaru still working for the normal fire brigade.
