Why There Is No New Fire Country This Week & When Season 3, Episode 16 Releases

A new Fire Country episode won’t be on tonight, March 21, as the firefighting drama is on a mini-break – here is what will air instead on CBS. Despite going through massive changes that truly showcased its characters’ progress since the beginning, Fire Country season 3 kept Bode, Three Rock and the Leones at the heart of its story. This couldn’t have been more evident than in the way Fire Country season 3, episode 15 shockingly ended, setting up the major threats to them and positive developments that will be at the center of the last three episodes of season 3.

Bode’s role in Fire Country greatly changed at the end of season 2, as earning an extraordinary conduct credit effectively granted him his long-awaited freedom. This forced Bode not to be the conduit to the stories from Three Rock in Fire Country season 3, creating different challenges ahead for him that had nothing to do with the fire camp. Bode building a firefighting career within Cal Fire was framed as his biggest objective throughout the season, making it important for Fire Country season 3, episode 16 to explain what Bode’s parole officer meant in season 3, episode 15’s shocking revelation.
