Season 4 Is Under Way
Exciting news for Fire Country fans—production has officially kicked off on Season 4! Filming began mid-July 2025 in Vancouver, marking the next chapter for Bode Leone and the Cal Fire crew who’ve captured audiences since the series debuted.
Series star and co-creator Max Thieriot returns as former inmate-turned-firefighter Bode, ready to dive deeper into the character’s transformation. The stakes have never been higher, both on-screen and behind the scenes.
A Big Shock in the Finale Fuels the New Season
Season 3 ended with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger. A raging fire at Walter Leone’s (Jeff Fahey) memory-care facility trapped the Leone family—Bode, Vinc e Leone (Billy Burke), and Sharon (Diane Farr)—inside as the roof collapsed.
Fans are still holding their breath, and filming has begun with that tension front and center. With the cast returning to Vancouver, expect scenes that pick up right where they left off, surrounded by collapsing walls, raging flames, and emotional reckoning.
Cast Shake-Up: Departures You’ll Feel
We’re saying goodbye to two core characters this season. Reportedly, both Billy Burke (Vince Leone) and Stephanie Arcila (Gabriela Perez) are exiting as series regulars.
— Vince: The battalion chief and Sharon’s husband may not make it out of the hospital blaze—his exit marks a major shift in the family dynamic.
— Gabriela: Bode’s on-again-off-again partner may return in guest form, but her main storyline appears to be complete.
Their departures shake up the emotional core of the show and push Bode into uncharted territory—his first season without his father and his romantic anchor.
When and Where Season 4 Will Air
Following CBS’s pattern, Season 4 is expected to premiere in fall 2025, likely September or October, keeping its Friday night 8–10 p.m. ET slot alongside sister program Sheriff Country.
Filming in Vancouver runs from July 14, 2025, to March 5, 2026, which aligns with a typical fall premiere.
What Lies Ahead: The Emotional Aftermath
With Vince and Gabriela gone, the show enters new territory:
-
Bode’s journey: Facing freedom without his father and former love interest, Bode’s next path takes on new depth and vulnerability.
-
Sharon’s grief and leadership: As a newly widowed battalion chief, Sharon must balance personal loss with maintaining control of Station 42.
-
Three Rock under pressure: The inmate firefighting camp’s future may hang in the balance without Vince’s guidance and Bode’s stability.
Filming Realism: Vancouver as Edgewater
As with previous seasons, shooting occurs in Vancouver and scenes are likely set in the Fort Langley area, which convincingly portrays Northern California’s wildfire-prone landscape.
Expect high-intensity fire scenes and realistic firefighting protocols, overseen once again by consultants to ensure authenticity.
Final Take: A Season of Redefinition
Season 4 promises to be a turning point:
-
Intense cliffhanger resolution
-
Emotional fallout across the cast
-
Shifting leadership dynamics
-
High stakes as family roles are redefined
With cameras rolling, fans are in for a deeply emotional, action-packed ride when Fire Country returns this fall.
