London’s Burning Season 6 Episode 1
Part of Blue Watch is at the scene of a flooded house, being forced to evacuate an old lady, her cat and her furniture. The others are enjoying a freshly refurbished fire station with new lockers and a new kitchen. They also have two new firemen as replacements for Malcolm and Kate – young cheeky firefighter Billy Rae and pompous leading firefighter Geoff Pearce from Bristol. Nick is not pleased when he sees Hallam’s crew returning with all the furniture and junk they had to take out of the flooded house, but Hallam explains that the old lady’s brother will put her (and her stuff) up. Blue Watch is then called to a house fire caused by a chip pan. A little girl and her granny are trapped in a room upstairs. The old woman cannot be moved from her bed and Billy proves his ability to get around with people by talking to her and calming her. Meanwhile Kevin and George come to realize that Pearce cannot be trusted. During dress rehearsals for Richard III., Cynthia makes another pass at Sicknote, but they are interrupted by a very suspicious Jean. Kevin wins a greyhound at cards, and invites the watch to place bets on him. Hallam goes to join Peter Jonah on the Fire Investigation Unit and Pearce takes over as Sub Officer. On the way to a shout, a speeding motorcyclist cuts the pump’s way and Bayleaf knocks him over before crashing into another car which goes on fire. The firemen put the fire out easily, but Bayleaf is in deep shock over the motorcyclist who had turned up out of nowhere.
