Kodansha Comics is publishing the manga in English, and it describes the story:
Terror has paralyzed the clockwork metropolis of Tokyo! Possessed by demons, people have begun to burst into flame, leading to the establishment of a special firefighting team: the Fire Force, ready to roll on a moment's notice to fight spontaneous combustion anywhere it might break out. The team is about to get a very unique addition: Shinra, a boy who possesses the unique power to run at the speed of a rocket, leaving behind the famous "devil's footprints" (and destroying his shoes in the process). Can the Fire Force discover the source of this strange phenomenon and put a stop to it? Or will the city burn to ashes first?
Ohkubo (Soul Eater) hinted earlier this month that the manga was in its final stage, and is also planning for the manga to be his "last manga." Kodansha published the manga's 23rd compiled book volume on May 15. Kodansha Comics released the 18th volume in English on March 24.
