Plot
Ryo Fujihashi, a 24-year-old office worker, is childhood friends with Souma Mizuno, a firefighter. She plans on setting him up with a co-worker from her office, but she assumes the reason why their dates fail is because of his womanizing ways.

Anime
In May 2019, ComicFesta announced that they were creating an anime adaptation, with the title Yubisaki kara Honki no Netsujō: Osana Najimi wa Shōbōshi (指先から本気の熱情-幼なじみは消防士-), and aired from July 8 to September 1, 2019, on Tokyo MX. The anime is produced by Studio Hōkiboshi, with Toshihiro Watase as director, Tombo as scriptwriter, and Katsuyuki Sato as the animation director. Like ComicFesta's other series, two versions of the anime were produced with different cast members: a standard version for television broadcast, and a complete version including sexual content for streaming on ComicFesta Anime's website. The theme song is "Blazing Luv!!" by Sakuragaoka Fire Brigade, which is composed of the voice actors for Souma, Yuki, and Jun. The same song is performed in the complete version by Tri Fighter, consisting of the complete version's voice cast.

A second season has been announced and aired from July 5 to August 23, 2021. The cast and staff will return to reprise their roles.

On December 1, 2021, it was announced that both seasons of the anime will receive an English dub produced by Ascendent Animation.

Reception
Rebecca Silverman from Anime News Network felt that the first volume was a "fun contemporary romance" for adult women aside from yaoi manga and claimed Ryo was a strong female lead; however, she also warned that there were some non-consensual scenes.
