It presents the operation in a straightforward, episode‑style format, focusing on the practical steps the team takes to intervene before any damage occurs. The central storyline centres on the youths’ attempt to set fire to the shed, prompting the unit to move in. At the same time, the team deploys an infrared drone kit to locate a teenager who vanished after climbing a scaffolding structure nearby.

The unit’s response combines traditional policing methods with modern technology, illustrating how the two tasks are handled concurrently. Overall, the episode showcases the challenges of dealing with juvenile mischief and a sudden disappearance, highlighting the coordinated effort required to address both the potential fire hazard and the urgent need to find the teenager.
