What’s Fire Country about?

Seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence, convict Bode Donovan (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 massive blazes across the region.

Then in the season one finale, Bode tanked his own parole, sacrificing himself for fellow inmate and friend Freddy. After six months in prison, Bode returned to the Three Rock crew in season two and a lot of changes: Manny (Kevin Alejandro), who got demoted after Bode went back to prison, ended up at Station 42; Manny’s daughter and Bode’s love Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila) trained as a paramedic and got engaged to her trainer Diego (Rafael de la Fuente); and Eve (Jules Latimer) took Manny’s place as boss of the inmate firefighters.

Where did we leave Fire Country at the end of season 2?

Bode got an early release and is a free man. 

Manny, who was about to be arrested for punching Luke (Michael Trucco) for trying to shut down Three Rock, briefly went on the run but returned to walk Gabriela down the aisle at her wedding to Diego.

At the wedding, Manny stopped Bode from trying to talk Gabriela out of it and we were left with her turning to look longingly at Bode as he left the church. 

What we know about season 3 so far?

Gabriela and Diego’s wedding was interrupted by a helicopter explosion before Gabriela said “I do” and she broke off the relationship.

Bode has to find his own way into fire fighting as a free man. He makes a case for becoming a cadet in the Edgewater training program like Amber Leven’s former fire camp inmate Audrey James but risks ruining his only shot because he and Gabriela ignored protocols at the season opener’s helicopter crash rescue.
