My whole family’s in there. Get off me. Get off me. — Bode.
Fire Country season 3 ended on a cliffhanger with Max Thieriot’s firefighter Bode Leone restrained from rushing into the burning Edgewater memory care centre where his grandfather Walter Leone, father Vince Leone and mother Sharon Leone are trapped as the roof collapses on them.
Fire Country creators Tony Phelan and Joan Rater and showrunner Tia Napolitano want to keep fans guessing who will live and who will die in the fire, but Deadline: Hollywood is hearing that Billy Burke’s Cal Fire battalion chief Vince Leone will be the one to leave the show after three seasons.
Separately, Stephanie Arcila’s firefighter, EMT and Bode’s on-again off-again love interest Gabriela Perez (who is outside the memory care centre fire) is the other original cast member departing the show after three seasons. She could return as a guest star in season 4.
Stephanie Arcila confirmed her exit in an interview with Deadline: Hollywood.
The seven original cast members are Max Thieriot, Kevin Alejandro, Billy Burke, Diane Farr, Stephanie Arcila, Jordan Calloway and Jules Latimer.
What’s Fire Country about?
Seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence, convict Bode Leone (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 blazes across the region.
At the end of season 2, Bode got an early release from prison and after graduating from the Edgewater training program last Fall is now one of Cal Fire Station 42’s firefighters.
