Characters

The United Fire-Defense Agency/Rescue Fire

The Rescue Fire (レスキューファイアー) team is a newly formed special team called the Super-Fire Specialist Team (超火災特化部隊) in the United Fire-Defense Agency (世界消防庁) or "UFDA", the organization behind the Rescue Force team. The Rescue Force team was sent overseas and is currently based in the Europe branch. The Rescue Fire team disbanded temporarily after the final battle in the last episode, only to be reassembled a year later. The artificial satellite Rescue Eye (レスキューアイ) detects a Super-Fire. The Rescue Fire team is normally stationed at the Fire Phoenix (ファイアーフェニックス) in Tateishi City (楯石シティ). The Fire Phoenix can switch from Fortress Mode (フォートレスモード) to flying Space Mode (スペースモード) and assumes Spiral Highway (スパイラルハイウェイ) when launching the Rescue Dashes. The Fire Phoenix Space Mode's Final Rescue is Freezing Cannon (フリージングキャノン) which fires twin icy balls at the enemy to freeze them before a Phoenix Crash (フェニックスクラッシュ).

Allies

Jakaen

The Jakaen (ジャカエン) are a group of fire demons who gave humans fire long ago. However, after seeing their gift used for selfish reasons to the point of endangering the Earth, the Jakaen made it their goal to make people suffer by causing Super-Fire (超火災). Sealed long ago by a warrior with the freezing powers of five Blue Pearls, the Jakaen's release into the world was the reason for the formation of the Rescue Fire team. Their original base of operations was underneath Tateishi City, making it the site of most Jakaen attacks until Donkaen's first defeat by Fire-1 X.

Fire Majin

The Super-Fire causing Fire Majin (火炎魔人) are created by the Three Commanders from a Jaka Core (ジャカ玉) they each carry which whirls to life once exposed to a heat source and enters the nearest object in the area, taking its physical form before going on a rampage to seek vengeance. A Fire Majin can be enlarged and upgraded by commanders' Revenge Fire. Two or more Fire Majin can merge into a more powerful Gattaien (ガッタイエン) when their commanders engage Revenge Fire at the same time. Since Jokaen's appearance, the Fire Majin are not used much other than boost up a commander's power as a Hyper Gattaien.

Rescue Vehicles

Rescue Dashes

The Rescue Dashes (レスキューダッシュ) are the Core Units for the larger Rescue Vehicles, each equipped with a Safety Field barrier. These can be utilized in newer vehicle models for execution of either a Dragon Attack or a Falcon Attack.

Rescue Striker

The Rescue Striker (レスキューストライカー) is a large-scale water truck Rescue Vehicle assigned to Fire-3 prior to the completion of Turbo Dragon. It was borrowed from Rescue Force. Its Final Rescue is the Water Cannon (ウォーターキャノン), shooting a jet of liquid nitrogen. It once combined with the Rescue Drill to become the Drill Striker in order to destroy Drillen with its Final Rescue, Drill Boost. While the Fire Dragon was being repaired, Fire-1 was given the Rescue Striker to pilot until it sacrificed itself to save Fire-1 from Kanitanken's attack. It has since been repaired, and is currently again in use of Rescue Force's R1.

2nd Generation Rescue Vehicles

The Rescue Vehicles (レスキュービークル) used by the Rescue Fire and Sky teams have two configuration modes: Scramble Mode (スクランブルモード) and Rescue Mode (レスキューモード).

It can also remote control it through the Rescue Megaphone. It can assume either Vehicle Mode (ビークルモード), able to shield itself generating the Safety Field (セイフティフィールド) and shoot the Drain Water, and Drill Mode (ドリルモード). The X-Dragon can also transform into the humanoid Robot Mode (ロボットモード) named X-Dragon Robo (エクスドラゴンロボ), able to execute the Final Rescue X Meteor Punch (エクス流星パンチ), which it delivers a powerful fiery punch to the enemy.

GaiaLeon

GaiaLeon (ガイアレオン) is a large-scale driverless Rescue Vehicle with AI and VVEL engine which has an excavator Vehicle Mode and a lion type robot Beast Mode (ビーストモード). As a result of being prideful, GaiaLeon acts on his own whim and listens to those he can acknowledge. Its Final Rescue is the Leon Burst (レオンバースト), which fires a powerful freezing bullet which splits into 4 lion-shaped bullets that freezes and destroy the enemy on contact.

Over time, the orbs have disappeared and the sword became embedded in its resting place behind Donkaen's throne until Asuka finds and frees it. Though it was heavy and rusted, the Ryudouken transforms when it reacts to Fire-1's Rescue Soul. Eventually, the X-Basher regains the Blue Pearls of "Faith" (信) from Ryujin Village, "Purity" (清) from the Dragon's Marsh after Jokaen took it, "Joy" (喜) from Nagoya City after Jokaen took it, "Love" (愛) from Lake Motosu, and "Friendship" (友) from Mongolia, which was Asuka's blue stone. Turning its key to various modes allows the user to relay commands. Its Sword Mode is activated by spinning its X-Wheel (エクスホイール) and performing a Dragon Charge on a Rescue Soul. The weapon was left behind with Donkaen after Fire 1X chose to seal him by freezing him instead dealing a fatal blow.
