When the alarm sounds, they drive out into the community on fire trucks as heroes – pulling bodies from crash scenes, saving lives and fighting fire. Every call brings her the chance to reclaim the world she lost.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Binge all episodes of Fire Escape exclusively and ad-free, right now on Wondery+ or Amazon Music.
