Heisei era
Godzilla Island
The Artificial Sun
Beisuke Jinguji deployed Fire Fighter Jet Jaguar after an artificial sun sent by the Xilien Zagreth caused Godzilla Island to dry out. As it attempted to extinguish a forest fire, it was attacked by Megalon and Destoroyah, who the Commander had freed from the island's nearby prison to prevent them from suffocating. Godzilla and Torema arrived to combat the two monsters, allowing it to complete its task.
Goodbye, Torema
Fire Fighter Jet Jaguar watched with all the other monsters and robots on Godzilla Island when Torema left the island to try and defeat Zagreth.
Dororin
Misato Jinguji piloted Fire Fighter Jet Jaguar to help defeat the shape-shifting Dororin. Using a fire hose, she was able to reduce the monster's dirt body to mud, exposing his true form. As he tried to fly away, Gigan finished him off.
SpaceGodzilla's Spirit Again
Fire Fighter Jet Jaguar extinguished King Caesar's temple after the possessed guardian set it ablaze. After Super Special SpaceGodzilla High Grade Type 2 revealed himself and attacked Godzilla, Misato used the mech's extinguishing agent to help project an illusion of an enormous Godzilla. The distraction allowed Godzilla to recover and drive the crystalline kaiju away.
