"Inferno" is an original story that was published in the Thunderbirds Annual 1969. As is usual for stories published in the annuals, no writer is credited.
Mount Fujiyama unexpectedly erupts and International Rescue are required to help evacuation efforts. Upon arrival, the rescue team discover that the volcano's anti-eruption device has been sabotaged, and something more sinister is at play.
It is revealed that every volcano in the world was fitted with an anti-eruption device in 2059.
In an unusual move for a member of a rescue organisation, Scott abandons the rescue in order to chase down a Bereznik aircraft, and by firing a missile he murders its occupants.
