==Synopsis==
−
Daigo has survived six months of hard training to become a firefighter. Right after his graduation ceremony, he rushes to Medaka-ga-oka High School, because he can't wait to tell Shizuka, his former homeroom teacher, that he has finally become a firefighter.
+
A young boy by the name of Asahina Daigo was once rescued by a fireman.  Ever since then, he has wanted to become a firefighter like the hero who saved him from the flames. Now he's all grown-up and has recently received his credentials as a firefighter.  However, the firefighting brigade he is assigned to is the so-called "Me-Gumi," the nickname of the Medakagaoka Fire Brigade, which at first glance seems to have absolutely no fighting spirit whatsoever.  In reality, this is the home of a group of seasoned professionals led by that legendary firefighter Commander Gomi.  They're active on the front lines, constantly putting their lives at risk. The innocent Daigo, burning with a sense of justice and of mission, battles together with his "Me-Gumi" compatriots, suffering, laughing and crying together with them as he develops into a topflight firefighter in this moving human drama.

It was Shizuka who recommended that Daigo become a firefighter. When Daigo was still small, he was miraculously rescued from a disastrous fire. Since then, it had always been Daigo's dream to become a firefighter. However, in high school, he had forgotten all about his dream and had no idea of what he wanted to be when he grew up. That was when Shizuka reminded Daigo of his dream.

Daigo gets assigned to Medaka-ga-oka Fire Department, which is located in his hometown. He heads to work with great expectations, but what Daigo sees is far from what he had in mind. The Fire Chief Hajime Gomi, and the rest of the crew seem to be far too undisciplined for firefighters.

As a rookie firefighter, Daigo gets dispatched to put out fires at schools, houses, and save cats stuck on roofs. Working with Hajime and others, Daigo acquires the knowledge and skills necessary for the job. He also learns about teamwork and how difficult it is to save a person's life. Daigo's colleagues are the rookie Shiro, fire truck driver Mahiru, Mitsuru, Hikosuke, Hiroshi, and paramedic Jun. At first, Daigo acts alone without thinking, and is seen as a trouble-maker. However, his instincts as a firefighter are exceptionally sharp, and he soon gains the recognition of his fellow firefighters.

Fire is not the only thing challenging Daigo in this story. While he still has feelings for his first love Shizuka, Mahiru and Jun are also on his mind. Daigo's rival Shiro seems to be after these women too...

Remember when you were in elementary school and you were asked what you wanted to be when you grow up, and half the boys in the class said they wanted to be a firefighter? "FIRE BOYS megumi no Daigo" is the story of one boy, named Daigo, who kept that dream all the way through high school and immediately joined the local fire brigade after graduation. This drama will show his struggles to become a competent firefighter and to fit in as a worthy member of the "megumi", the local fire brigade.

Daigo begins his journey with an inner childlike excitement that is outwardly manifested as a military-like demeanor and confidence. When he actually meets the members of the megumi, however, he is disappointed by their sloppiness and laid-back attitude. He is especially disappointed by the chief, who tells him that the megumi is known as an easy brigade to work in, since fires rarely ever occur in the area.

Slightly daunted, but not ready to give up, Daigo begins his training with the megumi. He quickly develops a rivalry with Amakasu Shirou who is the only male firefighter close to Daigo in age. Shirou is also ordered to look after Daigo and keep him out of trouble, which is disagreeable to both Daigo and Shirou. Daigo is taken a bit by Jun (played by Mimura, the fresh face from "Beginner" last season). He experiences a lot of verbal friction with Mahiru (Uchiyama Rina), but there seems to be a lot of attraction there, especially Mahiru's toward Daigo. Overall, Daigo doesn't really feel like a member of the megumi yet, and he even requests to be transferred to a different brigade once in the first episode. Obviously his relationship with the megumi will undergo a gradual change over the course of the series.

Daigo's initial confidence in his fire fighting abilities is quickly challenged when he finds himself in action on two separate occasions in the first episode. Apparently, Daigo has trouble keeping himself calm when placed in dangerous situations, and he sends himself into panic attacks at times when his full concentration and alertness are vital. Maybe he wasn't cut out to be a firefighter after all. He may have to seriously consider a career change soon if he can't control his anxieties - that is, if he doesn't get discharged from his duties for incompetence first.

This drama might be sort of a pseudo-sequel to the "WATER BOYS" drama which aired last summer since both titles have "BOYS" in them and star Yamada Takayuki. The two dramas don't have much in common other than that however. In Water Boys the main characters really were all boys, whereas in "FIRE BOYS" most of the megumi are actually adults.

This J-Fan reviewer really enjoyed the first episode of this drama. The previews didn't get me very excited, and I thought it looked kind of stupid, but now I've seen the light. This drama has a great cast, romance, human drama, and above all - action, action, ACTION! I don't think I've seen a drama that has this much action before. They must have spent some good money in the special effects department too. Obviously, it isn't exactly theatrical quality, but it's pretty darn good for a weekly TV drama. This drama not only has the usual cast of zany and/or attractive characters who go through their weekly struggles following the standard J-drama format, but it also sends them through burning buildings too. "FIRE BOYS" is great!

[Excerpt from Daily Yomiuri, Wm. Penn, January 15, 2004]: Even Fire Boys was not as bad as expected, although it will be of sustained interest only to those who have never seen a "konjo" drama before. This genre has been absent for a few seasons, but it features a dedicated young person displaying fighting spirit, grit, determination and tenacity as they persevere to overcome all sorts of adversity and hazing in pursuit of their goal.

In this case, Daigo Asahina [[Yamada Takayuki]], recently of [[Waterboys]] is initiated into the world of firefighting and struggles to achieve his long-cherished dream of becoming a top-rank firefighter. There is some interesting background info on the profession here such as the fact that women are not allowed to carry loads of more than 30 kilograms nor can they go into burning buildings as Daigo does in his first professional firefighting venture.
