London's Burning

A man witnesses an explosion at his house and sees a figure leaping from the upstairs window. The Charlton crew beats Blue Watch to the scene, but the mystery of the burning intruder smolders on.

Clean up at the burnt restaurant continues, and Nick is pressured to help the owner escape prosecution.

After a slew of hoax calls to the Blue Watch, a genuine emergency arises in the boiler room of a swimming pool.

John Hallam has an accident in a warehouse where a band is rehearsing.

Recall is rushed to the hospital - his life hanging by a thread - but the worst is yet to come for the Blue Watch team. As the factory blaze continues, Hallam is forced back into the building to save three trapped girls.

Just hours after the warehouse fire, the entire station is in mourning.

When Nick announces that a new sub-officer has been appointed, the Blue Watch members realize life must go on. Two watch members go beyond the call of duty to rescue a wheelchair user who is trapped in an upstairs blaze.

New sub-officer Carole Webb begins her first shift at Blackwall with what appears to be a dispirited and insular team. As an outsider, she faces an uphill struggle to win Blue Watch over.

The stress of raising a child begins to show on Nick, and his problems are compounded by the news that he has to go away on a course - a revelation that prompts sub-officer Carole to question her ability. Away from the job, the curtain rises on Sicknote's production of "Macbeth," and George's business venture gathers pace.

Poison Pearce is up to his old tricks, telling station officer Nick of all the problems that occurred in his absence. Jack takes Carole's side, finding her to be a great confidante.

After some well-deserved time off, the Blue Watch boys return to quell a blaze caused by a power outage. Carole breaks the news to Martin, George opens his new gym and Recall finds himself defending a bigoted coworker.

As boredom sets in during a quiet shift at Blackwall, the Blue Watch crew plays a series of practical jokes on hapless colleague Pearce. Later, the team is assigned the gruesome task of freeing a would-be burglar who has been run over by a forklift.

As the Blue Watch boys race to extinguish a blazing marquee at a school party, their new gold uniforms make them a laughing stock for the other crews. Nick prepares for a date with glamorous Dutch colleague Marianne, Billy urges Lauren to give up prostitution and Carole's marriage hits a snag.

A devastating blaze sweeps through George's gym, endangering his wife and mother-in-law. George suspects foul play and swears to bring whoever was responsible to justice. Elsewhere, a man trapped in a tree turns out to be hiding a sinister secret, and two fire engines racing to the scene of an incident are involved in a horrifying collision.
