Lok Tin Yau has dreamed of becoming a firefighter since he was young, because he was saved by a brave firefighter once. His mother initially did not allow him to be a firefighter for fear of his safety. However, Yau managed to convince her otherwise. His childhood friends, Ng Dai Heng and Sze Tou Bat joined the Pat Heung Academy with Yau, too. Lau Hoi Pak is the son of a rich man, but he is forced to become a firefighter after his father refused to give him any more money. Pak then leaves his home with his autistic brother, Bou Bou, and goes to Pat Heung as well. Sum Pik Yiu is a working lady with a steady boyfriend of 8 years. But her life is not trouble-free: she loses her job, her family is in debt, and she discovers her boyfriend cheating on her. In order to start anew, she joins Pat Heung to become a firefighter.
In the academy, they all have to undergo grueling training in order to be qualified firefighters. There, the trainees forge a strong bond and teamwork is an essential quality found in all firefighters. Even the cool, anti-social Pak warms up to Yau, Dai Heng and the others over time. Upon graduating, Yau, Dai Heng and But are sent to Chi Wan San Station, whereas Pak is sent to Cheung Chau. At Chi Wan San, the 3 boys meet Fung. Yau initially dislikes Fung'€™s laid-back attitude, but soon realizes that he has a lot to learn from Fung. As the relationships between the characters begin to form, their lives become more and more complicated, as Yau finds out that his father is Fung'€™s father.
