One breath of oxygen and it explodes in a deadly rage.
The story of a group of Chicago firefighters at Engine 17, two of whom are brothers. Lt. Stephen "Bull" McCaffrey, the elder brother, is obsessed with the beating of the fires that he fights. He is always at the heart of the fire - the most dangerous part of the fire. Brian, the younger brother quit the fire fighting academy school several years before the movie begins, then embarking on a number of other unsuccessful careers before returning to become a fire-fighter. He is looked down on by his elder brother who expects him to fail in his newly chosen career as a fire fighter.
As a child, Brian was bullied by Stephen and also witnessed the death of their father first hand when a gas pipe ruptured and burned him alive.
