With the helicopter crash still being a major part of the story

in Fire Country season 3, episode 2, the episode also introduced

Bode’s dream job story at full steam, painting a very different

season ahead compared to past ones for the firefighting drama. While Fire Country season 3’s premiere managed to secure most of the victims of the helicopter crash at Smokey’s and beyond, the ending explosion still meant a new danger for others. Fire Country season 3, episode 2 quickly established how two firefighters bore the brunt of the explosion, setting Bode and Gabriela’s dangerous operation in motion.

Fire Country season 3, episode 2 continued many of the storylines introduced by the season premiere, including Jake’s problems with Rick’s request for a paternity test, the definite end of Diego and Gabriela’s relationship, and even Bode’s massive strides forward in pursuing the goal of becoming a Cal Fire firefighter. However, with the major storylines introduced by the episode hinging on Bode and Gabriela’s mistakes at the helicopter crash explosion and the call being discussed during Bode’s hotwash that got him into the Cal Fire training program, it’s inevitable that the consequences will be felt throughout Fire Country season 3.
