Meanwhile, Bulk & Skull work as fire spotters in the forest, coincidentally the same day Torch Tiger's forest fire occurs.
Plot[]
The episode opens to T.J. and Lightning Cruiser flying in the air testing out a new Booster Fuel with T.J. commenting that the fuel works like a dream, at the Command Center Carlos Justin and Alpha are watching the test from the Viewing Screen and that they'll be able to test the next fuel in two more minutes with T.J. and Lightning Cruiser continuing to fly.
The scene cuts to a monster boot camp with Divatox, Rygog and Porto watching potential monster recruits while Elgar supervises the training, Divato comments that she does not like any of the monsters at the camp but then notice Lightning Cruiser flying by and Divatox says that she wants Lightning Cruiser.
T.J. calls Carlos saying that all systems are good and that he's almost to the rendezvous point and Carlos tells him that Ashley and Cassie are there waiting form him. Back at the boot camp, Divatox wines saying she wants Lightning Cruiser Porto tries to tell her that it will be impossible to get Lightning Cruiser because of the Rangers but Divatox refused to listen, Torch Tiger overhears this thinking this might be his chance to prove himself and tells Divatox that he can get Lightning Cruiser Divatox asks him what he can do he responds by saying that he breaths fire, Torch Tiger then tries to demonstrate but fails as all he can let out is a puff of smoke which leaves Divatox unimpressed, with his pride hurt Torch Tiger goes out to try and prove himself.
The scene cuts to Bulk & Skull who are now working as forest fire spotters, their new boss explains to the their job and shows them to their post and points up, Skull thinking they will be flying asks if their be in an airplane or a helicopter their boss tells them that they will be in a lookout tower, the duo turn around and see the tower and wondered where it came from, as the duo walm up to the tower and begin to set up Bulk comments that they have to look for anything unusual and as Skull begins to climb the tower ladder he sees Torch Tiger run by and Skull waves at the Monster not thinking it unusual at first but then questions what he saw but shrugs it off and begins to climb the ladder.
T.J. drives to the rendezvous point and then de-morph's after getting out of Lightning Cruiser, T.J. begins to excitedly comment on how well Lightning Cruiser flies with the new Booster Fuel Ashley then comments that Alpha outdid himself and they begin to try the next formula, they then hear Torch Tiger laughing and wonder what it is Torch Tiger then shows himself from behind a tree and tries to fire at the Rangers but like before all he could fire was a puff of smoke, humiliated Torch Tiger teleports out after stealing some of the new Booster Fuel, after seeing this the Rangers morph and go after Torch Tiger. Elgar, Rygog, Porto and a school of Piranhatrons come out of hiding to take advantage of the confusion and steal Lightning Cruiser but Lightning Cruiser activates his alarm to warn the Rangers and after hearing the alarm the Rangers stop chasing Torch Tiger to go back and check on Lightning Cruiser. The Piranhatrons show up to try and stop the Rangers and a fight breaks out.
Back at the lookout tower, Bulk & Skull are inside the tower doing nothing but read comics and listen to music but Skull starts to hear Lightning Cruisers alarm asking bulk if he hears it but Bulk gives Skull a pretzel thinking thats what Skull was saying and Skull thanks him and the two go back to reading their comics.
Back at the Rendezvous point, Elgar and Rygog try to net Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster but the two cars move out of the way and the net accidentally catches the rest of the Booster Fuel and Elgar tries to catch the cars again. Back at the fight, the Rangers are quickly thrashing the Piranhatrons, after the Piranhatrons leave T.J. calls Carlos and tells them that theirs big trouble and they need them at the testing site. Carlos and Justin morph and teleport to the test site and stop Divatox's henchemen, the Piranhatrons attack Carlos and Justin and during the fight T.J. Ashley and Cassie arrive, after all five Rangers were together Elgar Porto and Rygog teleport out, the Rangers check on Lightning Cruiser and Storm Blaster but also realize that the rest of their Booster Fuel is gone. Rygog, Ekgar, and Porto stop at the lookout tower wondering what to do since they can't go back to Divatox without Lightning Cruiser, Elgar sees the Booster Fuel they took by accident not knowing what they are until Porto realizes what they are and then comes up with a plan to make Divatox happy then teleport out, meanwhile Skull is watching from the Lookout Tower window not knowing what was going on thinks that the job is boring.
Back at the Monster Boot Camp, Divatox is excited thinking that the trio got Lightning Cruiser but after removing the tarp covering a different car becomes upset but Porto explains to her that they gave the car the Booster Fuel saying that this car will fly just like Lightning Cruiser, begrudgingly Divatox decides to try the car out and is happy with the results. Back in the forest, Torch Tiger decides to use the Booster Fuel he stole from the Rangers and uses it on his motorcycle and not only does it increase his bikes speed but it also causes part of the forest to catch fire, happy with the result tries to do it again but the bike burns out fast and Torch Tiger decides to use the formula on himself and pour the formula into a gas port located on the right side of his stomach, this begins to power up Torch Tiger and begins to run at a fast speed causing more fires to break out. Back at the Lookout Tower, Bulk & Skull are still lounging around not seeing the smoke that's coming in through the window.
Back at the Command Center, the Rangers are trying to figure out what Divatox plans to do with their Booster Fuel but also see on the Viewing Screen that fires are breaking out all over the forest, the Rangers immediately Morph and summon the Rescuezords in High Stance Mode and immediately get to work on putting the fires out, T.J. and the Lightning Fire Tamer take one area and put it out using a large fire extinguisher while Carlos in the Thunder Loader and Ashley in the Star Racer throw large balls of dirt at each other and the collision causes both balls to break into a dust cloud putting out another area. Back at the Command Center, Alpha sees through the Viewing Screen that Bulk & Skull are still at the Lookout Tower which is in the middle of the fire, Alpha tells the Rangers and T.J. goes in Lightning Cruiser to rescue them, as he's right near the tower Divatox flies near him almost hitting T.J., a dogfight begins and both cars start to fly towards each other but Divatox's car begins to run out of fuel and she begins to plummet back to the surface.
Divatox crashlands at the Monster Boot Camp and Elgar Porto Rygog and Torch Tiger go to check on her, as Divatox gets up at first angry she happily says that she loves the fuel and to bring her more, unfortunately Torch Tiger says that he used the rest of it in his own tanks Divatox becoes upset but Torch Tiger shows her that he has gotten real fire power, impressed and pleased Divatox tells Torch Tiger to go after Rangers and tells him not to come back till the Rangers are toast and Torch Tiger begins to excitedly rant on how he'll destroy the Rangers but Divatox now annoyed with his talking tells him to just do it and Torch Tiger teleports out and Divatox laughs maniacally.
Back at the Lookout Tower, Bulk & Skull finally see the smoke and begin to panic after seeing the fire, T.J. and Lightning Cruiser fly over to one of the tower windows and T.J. tells the two to jump into Lightning Cruiser, with no options the duo follow T.J.'s orders and both successfully get in Lightning Cruiser and fly out.
Back at the Command Center, Alpha tells the Rangers that the sensors are going off that Torch Tiger is back in the forest, the Rangers immediately go to Torch Tiger's location and the Rangers fire at him with the Auto Blasters but Torch Tiger blocked the blasts with a forcefield made of heat energy and the shots bounce back at the Rangers knocking them down, Torch Tiger then shoots a large blast of fire at the Rangers knocking them down again, Cassie comments that a blast that powerful should burn off alot of fuel to do what Torch Tiger did and the charge at him again hoping that Torch Tiger was out of fuel but Torch Tiger continued to fire at the Rangers which knocks the Rangers off the mountain. Torch Tiger not seeing the Rangers thinks he's won and begins to gloat but notices Justin Ashley and Carlos in Storm Blaster coming from unerground and ram him then T.J. and Cassie in Lightning Cruiser fly by and open fire on Torch Tiger knocking him down.
Divatox sees this and has Rygog fire the Torpedoes to make Torch Tiger Grow. Seeing a giant Torch Tiger, the Rangers summon the Rescuezords again and form the Rescue Megazord, at the start of the fight Torch Tiger tries to kick the Rescue Megazor then tries to give it a headbutt but the Rescue Megazord grabs Torch Tiger by the forehead and Torch Tiger tries to retaliate but can't and the Rescue Megazord sends Torch Tiger flying with a single punch, the Rangers then activate Artillery Power destroying Torch Tiger for good.
Back at the Monster Boot Camp Elgar, Rygog and Porto show Divatox the car they gave her and Porto tells her that he analyzed the Booster Fuel and came up with an evil version and that it will allow the car to fly perfectly which pleases Divatox but then Elgar says that he mixed the fuel himself which makes Divatox worry and tells Elgar to fly it himself, as Elgar takes off he crashes into a tree leaving him stuck at the top of the tree, Divatox relieved it wasn't her to drive it leaves and Porto says he'll mix the fuel next time but he laughs maniacally at Elgar.
At the Juice Bar, Bulk & Skull are telling people at the Juice Bar their version of the events with the fire making them look like heroes and saying they had to resign due to the Forest Rangers not appreciating their eagle eyes (In reality were fired due to them not seeing and panicking during a fire) and while they talk they don't realize they are leaning next to a pole that just been painted and after telling their story both leave with paint on they (Bulk with paint on his forehead after touching his forehead with his hand and Skull with paint on his back after scratching his back with it) and after they leave everyone starts to laugh ending the episode.

Errors[]
- In the American footage, Torch Tiger inserts the superfuel into his body through a fuel valve intake, which is clearly not seen in the Japanese footage of him.
- When the Rangers summoned the Rescuezords, there was a shot of Artillatron driving through the city before the underground doors opened to reveal Artillatron still in the holding bay.
- When Carlos and Justin arrive to defend Lightning Cruiser & Storm Blaster, Justin's voice is heard but Carlos is moving as if he's the one talking.
- Besides Torch Tiger, Rygog's checklist of monsters mentions Lord Litter, Maniac Mechanic, Wild Weeder, Wicked Wisher, Voltmeister, Metal Mangler, Mad Mike the Pizza Chef, Dreadfeather, Flamite, and Shrinkasect. None of these monsters were seen at Divatox's Boot Camp.
- Metallosaurus was also on the check list despite being an evil Zord and is mispelled "Metalsaurus".
- Also, with the exception of Lord Litter and Maniac Mechanic, all of these monsters had been destroyed previously.
- Metallosaurus was also on the check list despite being an evil Zord and is mispelled "Metalsaurus".
- The bottle that Torch Tiger drunk the Booster Fuel from is clearly not the same ones he stole.
- This is because it was one of the Gekibaka (Violent Idiot) drinks which the Booster Fuel replaces.
