Synopsis of Megumi no Daigo: Kyuukoku no Orange
Fire, smoke, adrenaline and fear: when everyone runs to escape a fire, a few brave ones run to get into it. Firefighters risk their lives to protect others, and Daigo Asahina has always dreamed of being one of them. He just got out of the training academy and ends up being assigned to the Medaka-Ga-Hama Fire Department. Smug and overconfident, Daigo responds to a few calls and is quickly humiliated and put in his place: he still has a lot to learn before he can call himself a real firefighter.
