Fire Country's Finale Shakes Things Up with Major Departures

CBS’s “Fire Country” recently wrapped up with a gripping finale that was both intense and emotional, leaving viewers hanging in suspense. Unlike any previous season finale, this one has set the stage for significant changes as the show moves forward. With the departure of two key characters, Bode Leone (played by Max Thieriot) and the crew at Station 42 will face dramatic shifts come next fall.

As reported by Deadline, original cast members Stephanie Arcila, who portrays the dedicated firefighter and EMT Gabriela Perez, and Billy Burke, who has brought Bode’s father, Cal Fire battalion chief Vince Leone, to life, will exit the series after three seasons.

A pivotal moment in the finale sees Vince caught in a perilous situation—a life-and-death cliffhanger involving Vince, alongside his wife Sharon, a Cal Fire Division Chief portrayed by Diane Farr, and his father, Walter Leone, a retired battalion chief played by Jeff Fahey, as they find themselves trapped inside a burning memory care facility with the roof threatening to collapse above them.
