The fire-fighting samurai who successfully extinguished the massive blaze were known as "Hikuidori" (Fire-Eating Bird).
Matsunaga Gengo was once the greatest fire-fighting samurai in Edo, nicknamed "Hikuidori." For some reason, he resigned from his position, but suddenly received a job offer from the Shinjo Clan. With the support of his wife, Fuyuki, Gengo decided to rebuild the shattered firefighting squad as their leader.
