While the fires on screen capture the attention of millions, it’s the cast that keeps viewers coming back week after week.
Max Thieriot, who not only stars as Bode but also co-created the series, brings personal authenticity — he grew up in fire-prone Northern California and wanted to tell a story about second chances. His commitment shines both on and off screen.
Billy Burke, as Vince Leone, gives the show gravitas as a veteran firefighter and father figure. His layered performance grounds the series, offering a steady presence amid chaos.
Diane Farr (Sharon Leone) portrays a woman balancing command with compassion, while Stephanie Arcila and Jordan Calloway infuse energy and heart as Gabriela and Jake. Together, the ensemble creates a believable family, both fractured and fiercely loyal.
Off-screen, the cast often shares glimpses of their camaraderie on social media — from set photos to fire camp bonding — showing that the chemistry isn’t just acting.
