Quick Summary

The team is summoned to rescue the survivors of a deadly crash, as authorities respond to the crisis. Their mission is further complicated by a bomb alert that follows the relocation of Afghan asylum seekers to a seaside hotel in the area.

About This Program

The show is a single‑episode programme that follows a specialised team as they intervene in high‑risk situations. It presents a self‑contained story, structured around the urgent tasks the crew must carry out, and is positioned as a dramatic rescue‑focused installment. In this episode the team is summoned to a crash site where a fatal accident has left several people trapped. Their primary objective is to locate and extract the survivors safely. Shortly after the rescue operation begins, a bomb alert is raised when a group of Afghan asylum seekers is relocated to a hotel on the coast, adding a second, pressing crisis for the responders to manage. The narrative therefore splits its attention between two concurrent emergencies: the immediate need to save those caught in the wreck and the looming threat posed by the bomb warning at the seaside hotel. By juxtaposing a physical rescue with a security alert, the episode highlights how the team must adapt quickly to shifting dangers while operating in a coastal setting that now houses the asylum seekers. This dual‑focus drives the tension throughout the hour‑long story.
