After the Season 3 finale of Fire Country shook up the show’s story with a major cliffhanger, series star Max Thieriot is warning fans that the ending was not a ‘false alarm.’ Season 3 finished airing on April 25, 2025, with a two-part final episode.

The end of Fire Country Season 3 saw a deadly blaze hit the care facility where Vince’s (Billy Burke) father, Walter (Jeff Fahey), was living. As a result, several characters, including Vince and Sharon (Diane Farr), were at the care facility trying to rescue Walter. The season finale ended with Bode (Thieriot) outside as the burning building collapsed on his family. Thieriot addressed the scene in an interview with TV Insider, saying, “It’s not a false alarm.”
