Overview
The Special Armored Fire Engine was first shown when the 8th Special Fire Brigade were called in to help an on-going wildfire at a small factory that manufactured metal fittings. Takehisa drove the engine while the other members of the brigade sat in the back and discussed the situation and the objective of the mission.
