The series premiered on July 5, 2019 at 1:25 AM (effectively July 6th) as part of the Super Animeism block on MBS and TBS.

Funimation licensed the series in North America and created an English dub. This dub began simulcasting on FunimationNow the same day as the episode premiered in Japan.

Plot
Terror has paralyzed the clockwork metropolis of Tokyo! Possessed by demons, people have begun to burst into flame, leading to the establishment of a special firefighting team: the Fire Force, ready to roll on a moment's notice to fight spontaneous combustion anywhere it might break out. The team is about to get a very unique addition: Shinra, a boy who possesses the unique power to run at the speed of a rocket, leaving behind the famous "devil's footprints" (and destroying his shoes in the process). Can the Fire Force discover the source of this strange phenomenon and put a stop to it? Or will the city burn to ashes first?
