"Backfire" firefighters are fighting the fire

Stephen and Bryan’s father was a firefighter and was killed in an accident that year. Stephen followed his father's footsteps early and became a heroic firefighter, nicknamed the Bull. Whenever there is a fire, he is always the first to rush into the fire. Brian was by his father's side on the day his father had an accident, fearing the fire and wanting to conquer. Bryan escaped in the fire brigade once, and this time he returned again, also wanting to become a firefighter like the old man.

The two brothers started fighting, and Stephen transferred Brian to his 17th team. The seventeenth team is a well-known fire brigade, and Stephen is an elite firefighter. In the fire brigade, Stephen took his rookie brother with him. However, Stephen left his wife and son. Here, the fire service is more important than everything else. The family is a mess, and Stephen hasn't been promoted for a long, long time.

After receiving the training of his older brother, Brian became more disgusted, and the relationship between the two brothers was still not good. As a result, Brian left again in an accident and accepted a fire accident investigation recommended by a senator. As the investigation unfolded, a series of tempering cases came out. The so-called backfire means that the fire is caused by man. When a person opens the door, the tongue of fire will spray out and burn the person to death. Several similar cases occurred in a row. This is from a few shareholders of a company that the senator back then, and all clues point to Stephen.

When Stephen brought the newcomer to fight the fire, the newcomer was killed by backfire, and the senator was almost killed, but the murderer was also injured by Brian. Brian recognized the murderer, who turned out to be not his brother, but the chief of the fire department. The captain was his father's comrade-in-arms, and finally Steven and the captain were killed.

Backdraft quotes

  • Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: In a word, Brian, what is this job all about?

    Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: Fire.

    Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: It's a living thing, Brian. It breathes, it eats, and it hates. The only way to beat it is to think like it. To know that this flame will spread this way across the door and up across the ceiling, not because of the physics of flammable liquids, but because it wants to. Some guys on this job, the fire owns them, makes 'em fight it on it's level, but the only way to truly kill it is to love it a little. Just like Ronald.

  • Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: So stop me if I got this wrong. Now the fire is almost out, you're upstairs on the unburned floor checking for heat, is that correct? And you've been told by your Battalion Chief, your Captain and by me not to do nothin', right? Not to do nothin' until ordered. That's correct, right?

    Candidate: Yes, sir.

    Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: Ok. But now the itch starts. The 'Glory Boy' flash starts. 'Hey, I'm a hero. Heroes don't just stand around.' You can tell me, that's what it was, wasn't it?

    Candidate: Yes, sir.

    Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: So you punched out a window for ventilation. Was that before or after you noticed you were standing in a lake of gasoline?

    [shouting]

    Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: Was that BEFORE OR AFTER you noticed you were standing in a lake of GASOLINE, YOU IDIOT?

    Candidate: Before, sir.

    Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: You could have burned or killed or crispened half that company! To say nothing of the fact that you wrecked the physical evidence that I use to prove that it's arson, and you know how goddamned hard it is to determine the cause of these fires! Now you go home and you think about that!
