Trivia

 * The word "Shōbōkantai" (消防官隊) is sort of a play on the words "Shōbōtai" (消防隊), which means "fire brigade", and "Shōbōkan", which means "fire officer". From perspective, a more fitting translation would be "Special Fire Officer Company".
 * It seems that before killing a Flame Human, a member of the Brigade must chant the following: "Flames are the breaths of souls... And smoke is the souls' release... Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. This soul, return to the raging flames." - This is used as a way of purifying the soul of the Flame Human.
