[ WP ] fire is a manifesting force that can only be put out through hand to hand combat . You are training to become a firefighter

Apologies in advance, this is my first prompt and I'm writing it on my phone because I'm bored on the train.

 It's been 5 years since the first Fire Fight appeared, although lets be honest that was less of a fight and more of a massacre. The second great fire of London spread through the city despite the best efforts of the local old style fire fighters. They tried everything on the flames, water, foam, gas but no matter what seconds later the flames would flicker back into life and continue their spread. After a few days of futile attempts to save the city the Prime Minister announced the abandonment of London. People ran, leaving their entire lives behind to the hungry flames which where only stopped by massive ditches dug around the boundaries of the city, the Fire rages still, never ceasing. It's much too big and old even for the best of us. 
 
 
 Still, some good came from this. The never ending fire was contained which allowed scientists to study it through tests at the boundaries and flyovers to explore the centre. We discovered that the fires had a... a heart, beating in the centre like a giant ember, it was obvious that it needed to be tackled to stop the Fire, but again nothing worked on it, aerial drops of water and foam burst into steam on contact amid a deafening roar. However one useful discovery was that sea water worked to a certain degree, rather than coming back to life instantly the fire was quenched for a minute or two, but alas the ember would continue to beat and eventually fan the flames back to life. 
 
 
 The real breakthrough happened when a Fire started in a little coastal town, lacking access to large amount of water apart from the sea, one local firefighter used an old style pump to douse the flames with sea water after which he found the ember. He drenched the ember similarly and was shocked and horrified when it let out a scream of rage and unfolded into a monstrous humanoid shape before loping forward and punching a burning hole through him, this we know because his neighbour was following him with his phone camera turned on, he managed to escape, lucky for him... or not perhaps, he now lives a solitary life in an asylum. 
 
 
 From there on it became clear what we needed. We did n't need firefighters, we needed Fire Fighters, hardened individuals trained in hand to hand combat that could fight their way to the Ember with sea water, douse it and then defeat it to put out the fire... and now here I stand, at the doors of the Fire Fighting academy to enrol myself, for I have nothing to lose any longer and a rage burns in me, for my entire family were in London...
