Charisma is flattered when a woman named Donna chats him up in a pub. He learns that she used to be the wife of a former fireman nicknamed Liver Salts. No sooner has she moved herself in with him, he discovers she took Liver Salts for a ride financially. Tate is behaving irrationally and humiliates Hallam over an incident involving some old tramps feared trapped in an old warehouse. Hallam calls in appliances from all-over London but the tramps are at a nearby off licence. Blue Watch are called to a fire at a business premises next to a lock-up containing chemicals. Tate warns that they must find out more about the chemicals before tackling the blaze but Charisma, wound up after a row about Donna, ignores the orders and rushes out into the fire. A car petrol tank explodes and engulfs Charisma. Badly injured, he is taken to hospital where he is visited by Donna. Although barely able to speak he tells her he knows about her past.

In the middle of a divorce from her husband, Josie accepts a lift home from a man she has met at an evening class. He persuades her to ask him up to her flat for coffee but inside, attacks her and tries to rape her before she fights him off. Charisma, still in hospital, reveals that he wants Donna out of his house, but when he gets home, he finds out she has set up a Hairdressing business there. Blue Watch wants George to represent them in a charity LFB boxing match but after agreeing, he damages his hands in seeing off Big Eddie, who had come to the station to batter Vaseline for non-payment of a debt. Meanwhile Tate has problems of his own, when a shout at a high rise block is jeopardised by vandalised equipment, he goes over the edge. He turns to drink, and instead of going to work, takes himself off to the Kent coast and stares out to sea. When he comes back, he takes a week off and returns to a warm welcome.

Christmas turns to misery for most of the members of Blue Watch when Hallam is set on fire, Charisma discovers that Donna is selling dangerous toys, George is arrested for pandering and Josie and Bayleaf end up in bed together.

Blue Watch deals with a fire at a hotel which is run as council accommodation, where Kevin becomes especially sympathetic to a young woman resident Bayleafs family problems continue to mount,and Hallam plays matchmaker over dinner while George enlists Malcom and Sicknote to help him woo a pretty girl

Charisma continues to blabber on about Big Ron, as Malcolm, George and Vaseline chorus BIG RON! each time his name is mentioned! The bells go down and the pump is put on standby at Stratford as the majority of the Brigade are tackling a huge blaze. The Pump Crew arrive at Stratford to find the food in the oven ablaze! It is quickly extinguished before the bells go down... The Pump crew arrive on the scene where a nuclear container is leaking and ticking. As radiation is suspected, Tate orders that the pump is moved back. He tells Josie that she knows the deal with women and radiation and tells her to inform the public. The train driver and his guard continue to moan about being de-contaminated, but Tate rightfully points out that they dont know if they have been contamination yet and tells them to move their bums back to where the pump is! The Borough Street Watch continue to bully Maddox and they tie him to a ladder and put him face down in a pool of water. As his fellow watch memb

Neither Scase or Tate emerge unscathed from their meeting with ACO Bulstrode. Tate is delighted to hear that Scase has been transferred to an obscure station in the North-East. Sicknote comes home to find Jean kissing Dominic, and after attacking him, he leaves home. With the Dockland Development Board buying up the area at relatively low prices, several businesses have burned to the ground for the insurance money. Cafe owner Ray tries a similar ploy, and the exploding petrol traps him inside. As the cafe is just around the corner, the Watch hear the explosion and run round to the blazing cafe. Bayleaf remembers an old man and his dog who live upstairs and Josie has to crawl along smouldering joints to rescue him.

With Guy Fawkes night approaching, Blue Watch brace themselves for the usual flood of emergency calls. A boy is left to guard a bonfire against a revenge attack from some youths and hides inside from fear. He doesnt hear the youths set fire to the bonfire. When the Watch arrive, the youths throw bricks at them and cut the hoses. From the fumes, Blue Watch realise that someone was inside the fire and find the boy fried. Bayleaf goes home to comfort Clare when her son is rushed into hospital after a firework accident and he rest of the Watch are sent to a bonfire party which has got out of hand and engulfed the kitchen. Badly-parked cars block the appliances path to the house, so Tate orders the appliance through, even if it means damaging the cars. The blaze is put out, but the guests are not happy when they see their cars

A flat is alight and parents and two children are trapped. The mum dials 999, but soon collapses. Nancy is on control and hears the screams, but she is helpless. She calls back through to the operator, so the location can be tracked. The Watch arrive and Hallam, Josie and George work together to free the children, but the parents are both dead. It is revealed that Charisma has left the Watch to work at staff and they all begin to go on about how they think the Watch is jinxed. Tate states that the Watch is not jinxed and Josie agrees with him. George then upsets Josie, reminding her that she doesnt have to worry, because she wont be with them for much longer! The Watch later find Josie crying in the dorm, George apologises and Josie tells them all that she will miss them when she leaves and it is pointed out that shes only transfering, not leaving the country! Bayleaf goes to see a Mrs Roger, about child minding Melanie, who is is now looking after permentantly while Karen is in hos

A drug war leads to a fire in a block of flats. Colin chases one of the suspects and is threatened with a knife. Fortunately, Bayleaf has followed him and comes to his rescue but at the cost of a slashed face. The crew read the riot act to Colin, warning his "go it alone" approach could have resulted in a fatality. Hallams wife Sandra is convinced he is having an affair, while Sicknotes campaign to save the City Farm earns him a standing ovation at a public meeting. The Watch are called out to a horrific train crash. The implications of the job finally dawn on Colin as he and George take time to talk to a young girl trapped in a compartment. She has to have her legs amputated. Colin breaks down in tears and is comforted by Bayleaf.

High up on the side of an office tower block, a window cleaners arm gets stuck in a cradle mechanism. In the absence of a high line rescue team, a terrified Sicknote is sent down on a rope. Sicknote frees the mechanism and repairs the wound but then has to be lowered all the way to the ground where he collapses. Malcolm learns that Jimmy, the lad he rescued from the trench, is extremely brain damaged. At the suggestion of Clare, Bayleaf applies for a transfer, which is turned down. Sicknote temporarily takes over as Mess Manager but his health food is greeted with distaste. Technique is giving Marion the runaround. When she and the watch go down to the Swan and Sugarloaf (SAS) to see him in competition, he humiliates her and announces he is going on a date with a female bodybuilder called Tuesday. A fight breaks out during which Technique head-butts Colin and is sent flying across the pub by Jaffa.

Blue Watch are on night duty and have been called out to a number of what Tate calls "looney tune shouts" - a dustbin fire, a pregnant cat stuck up a tree and so on. If nothing else, the crew are pleased that Bayleaf is back in the mess, but as usual when they start to tuck into a meal, the bells go off. Tate confiscates Malcolms sandwich but the butter on it comes in handy for releasing a mans head stuck in some railings as part of his stag night. When they return to the station, Blue Watch find supper has become a burnt offering. Colin is commandeered to get a Chinese takeaway but comes back with nothing but rice and noodles. Kevin meets his dad who has been released from prison. The old man says hes going straight and asks Marion to put him up. but as soon as theyre backs are turned, he makes off with her gas and electric money.

A light aircraft carrying two businessmen crashes into a warehouse. In the process it breaks in half and sets fire to a lorry. When Blue Watch arrive, they are faced with the problem of how to make the plane safe enough to reach the two passengers, one of whom is seriously injured, as well as the dead pilot. The solution is to raise the fuselage on a giant airbag. Acting Station Officer Hallam is being interviewed for promotion. His wife Sandra feels sufficiently confident to order a new kitchen on the basis of his increased salary. Clare and her children moves in with Bayleaf and Malcolm has found a new lodger to help out with the mortgage - a classy law student called Helen.

Luckily it is a hoax call but Colins probationary period is extended for three months. Georges girlfriend Kelly tells him shes pregnant and invites him to a party to meet her family but a stunned George finds its their engagement that everyone is celebrating!

The arrival of new Station Officer Nick Georgiadis ruffles a lot of feathers. A strict disciplinarian, he finds fault with the appearance, sloppy practices and conduct of everyone from Hallam down. The atmosphere is hostile. Relief comes in the form of a shout to a sewer where three men lay injured by a gas explosion. Two had gone upstream to repair a fault but gas started to fill the sewer chamber. The noise from their work prevented them from hearing the gas detector. The result is that the pair are pinned under rubble while the third has a severe headwound. Under Nicks impressive command, Blue Watch free the trio. Afterwards, Nick has words with Hallam about their professional relationship and at home Sandras constant nagging about the kitchen doesnt make Hallam a happy man. Kevin becomes involved in a brawl with his sisters boyfriend Rick and at the next roll call, Nick sends the battered and bruised Kevin home.

Riddled with the guilt at her suicide attempt, Kevin visits Marion. They patch it up and agree that Kevin should move in. Kate is getting dis-enchanted with Jeff, the fireman she met in Kent, but passes her end-of-probation exam. A hotel goes up in flames, leaving guests screaming for help from upstairs windows. Inside, Colin risks his life to save a colleague. Nick is suspicious about the hotels safety and, on confronting the manager, discovers that alterations made since the buildings fire certificate was issued had turned the place into a death trap. And when a constituent chains herself to Sicknotes railings, he decides hes had enough of being a Councillor.

There is a surge of excitement when news of a massive warehouse fire comes through on the teleprinter. The scale of the incident is getting bigger all the time and Nick, Kate and recall are send into a basement to find the night security man. Josie and two other members of Charlton Blue Watch are back up. The security man is found on the second floor and Nicks team are called back. but as they return, an explosion rips through the the basement where Recall is pinned by a huge wooden beam with his air supply running low.

At last the vibraphone locates life in the rubble, Hallam is dragged out alive but Bayleaf is still missing.

Blue Watch gets a videotape in the mail informing them that their mascot has been kidnapped. Instead of paying ransom they invade Borough St. Station at night and Malcolm steals the dentures of one of their firemen, with which he scares Colin to death. Next morning, the fuming but toothless fireman from Borough St. turns up with his mates, demanding his teeth back. Recall hands them over in exchange for the kidnapped plastic fireman. Nick is fuming when he hears the full story, but even when he grills his firemen in the station office, they can hardly surpress giggling.

Blackwall Blaze is ready for their first Basketball match, but the opponents turn out to be a lot taller - and better. Colin gets knocked on his nose and drops out, so that coach Hallam has to join himself, but to no avail. Blue Watch suffers a miserable defeat. Hallam suggests to go boozing in a strip club to cheer themselves up, but the club has been closed and the pier is deserted. The mood is as gloomy as the weather, just when they see a girl about to jump into the sea from the pier. Recall and Hallam heroically jump into the sea after her to save her - their day out turns into another rescue operation. In the end, they find an open pub, where they get drinks and flirt with women. Hallam, Sicknote and Bayleaf, racked by private problems are glum and get drunk.

Colin finds the remains of the electric gear in the hotel room and takes them outside. Meanwhile Sicknote realizes that the walls start crumbling and shouts at everyone to quickly leave the hotel. A helpful policeman tells Colin that he is in fact holding a bomb and orders him to stand very still. Colin is scared stiff and shaking too much to put the bomb down safely. Nick has to help him.

The lads tie a totally drunk Colin to a lamp post in the pouring rain until he tells them the hotels name.

When Zoe throws the bridal bouquet Ian catches it, making Kate blush. George, Recall, Sicknote and Kevin come to the Clarendon hotel, asking for the Parrishs. But only a couple named Smith have booked in for the night. Suspecting a fake name, the guys barge into the hotel room with a lot of noise, scaring the living daylights out of the poor couple in the room - who are strangers indeed. Colin and Zoe are meanwhile enjoying an undisturbed wedding night at the Tower Thistle hotel. During the next duty, Nick hands over a postcard from Colin, explaining the hoax. The series ends with a threat of Blackwall being closed and Hallam making a passionate speech to save the fire station.

Sandra catches Hallam on the phone to Patti and grows suspicious. Billy allows Donald to sit at the wheel of the pump ladder and switch the blue lights on, but then the alarm goes off and Pearce catches them out, yelling at Donald to get lost.

At least they can all return to Blackwall Fire Station.

They get a new watch member, an Australian guy named Chris Newman, who gets nicknamed Skippy. Nick goes to attend the conference and meets the beautiful Dutch fire fighter Marianne. Carole and Jack get closer, but the alarm bell sends them to a shout. The pump gets stuck in a traffic jam, and Pearce, in the other pump, doesnt wait but goes up into a high building with his men to sort out the reported smoke. On arrival, Carole reprimands him, but the whole action is very disorganized and another S.O. reprimands them both. The smoke alarm turns out to be a barbecue on the roof.

George opens the fitness club with his business partners. Blue Watch is called to a house fire and when they are just finished, they see Clingfilm appearing in his camper, busy searching for Bruno, but Pearce doesnt really appreciate his efforts.

Blue Watch gets new custard-coloured uniforms that look simply silly. At a big alarm at London Arena, the other watches laugh at them and Sicknote drives them off with a jet.

After a conversation between Sicknote and Pearce we find out that Skippy has left the Brigade and gone back to Australia and George is off work with a broken leg. While on the same duty Pearce is called to the Watch room to be met by a stripper gram that Billy and new boy Gregg have got for him in order to celebrate his divorce going through.

Its the day of Billys Nans funeral and Billy is off on compassionate leave and Clingfilm is covering for him. Due to Nick being in Holland, Carol is in charge and Pearce is promoted to Sub Officer and it is obvious he does not like a woman being in charge. Meanwhile Nick arrives in Holland and is met by Marianne, who we first saw in series 9, then as the two share a quiet moment together her pager goes and her and Nick attend a shout. Its a woman drowning and as Nick and Marianne are first on scene Nick heroically jumps into the water to save the distressed woman. However Marianne is not impressed. Meanwhile back at Blackwall Sicknote makes friends with Acer a dowser who is looking for an ancient underground river. While off duty Pearce visits Sandra Hallam and Gregg visits Tiggy at college, although due to confusion he ends up standing in as the live model for art class. On the next duty the lads play a joke on Sicknote making out there is a Blackwall ghost and the Watch attend a shout at a neighbouring Fire Station where Clingfilms camper van is alight. On Clingfilms return to the station Pearce tells him of the news and Recall reluctantly agrees to have a new lodger - Clingfilm. The Police say its arson, could it be his estranged wife Noreen?

The show starts off with Maggie and Sicknote practising for the talent night doing a splendid rendition of send in the Clowns (rather appropriate in a fire station). The Watch are then visited by ADO Davies to discuss the Stations forthcoming safety inspection. The Watch is then called to a shout where a woman is trapped in her car under a huge advertising billboard. Meanwhile Jack visits new lady friend Hilary (Mother of his sons friend) and Nick attends a family get-together. Gregg has a second date with Tiggy and the Watch attend a fire at a Paint Factory.

He is then given the nickname of The Blackwall Bomber. The watch are then called to a house fire where they find a dead child and George blames himself as he missed a turning and believed he could have made it quicker if he hadnt have missed the road. Its the Talent night and it goes off with a bang including a rather poor performance from Clingfilm and his Tuba and a stunning performance from Gregg who sings the old favourite Wind Beneath My Wings. Meanwhile Kelly returns from her holiday to Spain with mate Suzie and George is convinced that Kelly had an affair while out there.

The first shout is to an industrial estate where a man has got trapped in a chimney after trying to rescue a cat. Blue Watch are called out and the man and cat are both rescued. Off duty Jacks called t o the hospital due to his son being involved in a rugby accident and Nicks finding the strain of having Marianne living with him. The Watch are then informed that the station will be 100 years old and in order to celebrate they will have a centenary event , however theres arguments due to the fact that both Pearce and Sicknote want to be in charge of it, although Recall reluctantly agrees to do it instead. On the next shout theres bad news a message comes through on the tele-printer stating that in stations that have both a Station and Sub Officer, the post of Sub will be abolished and the Sub will be moved to another station. Pearce is delighted, but Carol is upset as it means a move. Blue Watch are then called to a camper van that has fallen and trapped a man underneath and George moves out and goes to live with his sister Beatie.

The first shout is for the Pump theres a strange smell coming from an old boarded up flat, sadly George and Pearce find a body thats been there for some time.

Billy finds his sister Jo and doesnt like who shes staying with, as he tries to force Jo into his car the bloke shes staying with appears and Billy attacks him, he is then hauled of to the Police Station. The next duty sees the Watch attend a huge Hospital fire where they have to evacuate the hospital due to the fire spreading through the roof. The Police on Suspicion of murder then arrest Billy; due to the fact the bloke he beat up earlier was found dead in his flat.

Meanwhile Recall gets to know Nicki (Jaffas niece) and Sicknotes protestor friends turn up at his house. The watch is then called to a college fire where a man sadly dies. On there return to the Station Recall spots Jo (Billys sister) and as he approaches her she runs off. He gives chase and catches her. Once shes back at the Station Recall tells her about Billy and she admits that she was the one who killed him.

George is missing married life and Nicki has moved in with Jack. Carol receives her letter telling her where she will be posted and this triggers off memories of an incident that occurred in the past. While out on hydrant inspection Sicknote notices a mini riot where a group of residents are persecuting a man who is in his car, claiming he is a paedophile. Sadly the car is set alight by an angry resident with a petrol bomb and the Watch do there best to rescue him. At the end of the shift Recall challenges Jack to a fight behind the tower, luckily George and Gregg notice it before Nick sees them fighting and stops it telling them theyre both behaving like kids. Meanwhile Pearce and Clingfilm are held hostage by Clingfilms ex-wife Noreen, but they are saved by Recall who literally throws her out of his house and Jack gets bared from the pub.

Its Friday 13th and the Pump goes on standby at Upton for the day, Carols new station if the Merger goes through. The Pump leaves and the ladder are fitted with its new siren and Pearce immediately takes a shine to the technician Fiona. The first shout is to a rubbish fire in the woods where his protestor friends meet Sicknote. Meanwhile at upon the crew arrive only to notice that there is no power, Gregg looks at the fuse box and notices a fuse has been removed, not knowing why he replaces it immediately. The pumps first shout is to a stuck lift where two identical twins were stuck in a lift one going up and one going down, at first George believes he is seeing double until Carol explains. Their next shout is to a car mysteriously circling a car park. On their return to upon they see the station is on fire, Carol calls it in and extinguish the fire. Once the Upton Sub returns he informs them they had a problem with the fuse box, Gregg keeps quiet and does not mention what he may have done. George realizes hes being stubborn and returns home.
