I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed directing it!!! — Kevin Alejandro.

What’s Fire Country about?

Seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence, convict Bode (Max Thieriot) joined an inmate firefighting program called Three Rock in season one that returned him to his small northern California hometown Edgewater, where he and other inmates worked alongside his parents (Billy Burke & Diane Farr) and other elite Cal Fire firefighters from Station 42 to extinguish blazes across the region.

At the end of season 2, Bode got an early release from prison and after graduating from the Edgewater training program last Fall is now one of Cal Fire Station 42’s firefighters.

Who was in the most danger at the end of the Fall finale?

The action will pick up right where we left off in Part 2 of the two-parter.

Bode (Max Thieriot) and Audrey (Lambin Reven) got caught in a blaze and jumped in the pool to escape it.

A spiralling Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila) walked off the job and into the fire without her gear. Her father Manny (Kevin Alejandro) risks his future freedom to rescue her.

Three Rock Captain Eve Edwards (Jules Latimer) got into it with her estranged father Elroy (Phil Morris), who didn’t want fire crews on the Triple E family ranch, filmed in Aldergrove east of Vancouver last October..
