What’s Fire Country about?
Seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence, young convict Bode Donovan (Max Thieriot) joins a firefighting program that returns him to his small Northern California hometown, where he and other inmates work alongside elite firefighters to extinguish massive blazes across the region.
Episode 1×21 Backfire will air Friday, May 12th on CBS.
Crews are called to put out a backfire that was started by a private firefighting company to protect a client’s high-end winery.
The episode that Max directed has the most practical fire we’ve ever had, so it’s going to feel thrilling. — showrunner Tia Napolitano to TVLine.
