Fire!
Alpha One is the call-sign of the central fire station in Hull, one of the busiest in the country. It deals with 200 emergency calls a month and with the largest variety of incidents in Britain.
The crew of fire-engine Alpha One/One turn out day and night to answer calls for help. A lorry is ablaze in a garage ... women are trapped in a lift ... a budgie has to be rescued from a chip pan fire ... 250 tons of fish oil are spilled in the street ... and Alpha One/One is on its way. The firemen comfort the injured at road accidents, treat the casualties at house fires, investigate a possible arson. It's all part of the danger and drama facing the men at this hectic northern fire station.
