NEED TO KNOW
The cast of Fire Country has been smoldering since the start.
Since October 2022, the stars of the CBS action drama have been keeping the town of Edgewater, Calif., safe, putting out fires as the crew of Station 42.
Max Thieriot, Kevin Alejandro, Jordan Calloway, Stephanie Arcila, Jules Latimer, Diane Farr and Billy Burke set televisions ablaze as the main cast of season 1, and in the years since, most of them have continued to keep the spark lit.
The Fire Country ensemble has remained much the same for years, but when season 4 premiered in October 2025, a few familiar faces were missing.
So, with the series currently in its fourth season, here’s a look at the Fire Country cast from season 1 to now.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Fire Country season 4!

Thieriot has starred on Fire Country as Bode Leone since the series premiere.
He is no stranger to high-octane procedurals. He starred on SEAL Team for six seasons before joining Fire Country as a co-creator, executive producer and actor.
Thieriot grew up in Northern California, where Fire Country is set, and his own life experiences inspired the series.
“I’ve always wanted to tell stories, and create and build worlds, and do those things,” he told Collider in January 2023. “For me, it was always a struggle to imagine some of the stuff that people come up with, and how creative and completely out of their imagination stuff is.”
“I thrive off of the human experience, life events, and all those things,” the actor added.
Now, he’s continuing to extend his creativity on the Fire Country spinoff, Sheriff Country.

Alejandro plays Manny Perez, a firefighter who is also the father of Gabriela Perez (Arcila), Bode’s former love interest.
Before joining Fire Country in season 1, Alejandro was known for roles on other shows, such as True Blood, Southland, Ugly Betty and Arrow.
In addition to acting on Fire Country, he has directed three episodes, as well as two episodes of the series’ spinoff, Sheriff Country.
Following the death of Vince Leone (Burke), Alejandro told the Midland Reporter-Telegram in October 2025 that season 4 is “about figuring out how to move forward when the person holding it all together is gone.”
“For Manny — and for all of us — it’s about growth, responsibility, and how the community holds each other up,” he explained.

Calloway has portrayed Jake Crawford since the beginning of Fire Country.
Prior to starring in the CBS series, Calloway appeared on the NBC medical ER, Nickelodeon’s Unfabulous, and was featured in all four seasons of The CW superhero series, Black Lightning.
Like Thieriot and Alejandro, Calloway has pulled double duty as actor and director on Fire Country, helming the fourth episode of season 4.
“It was fun. I love rising to the challenge, honestly, and that comes from having played sports as well,” Calloway told PopCulture.com in November 2025, about directing. “I just love a challenge, and to be able to go after it and hit it, let’s do it.”
Jules Latimer

Latimer plays Eve Edwards, a firefighter and childhood friend of Bode.
Another cast member who has been on Fire Country from the start, she knows that season 4 has forced fans to embrace change as actors exit the series, and character relationships change.
“One thing about what we’re doing this season that I know we’re all excited to share with you is how we move through uncertainty and what feels like starting over again,” Latimer captioned a series of behind-the-scenes photos and videos on Instagram in October 2025. “What I’ve deduced so far is we need each other (community) more than ever.”
“This season you’ll see all of these characters fight in every episode to figure out how the hell we move forward,” she added.
Diane Farr

Farr portrays Sharon Leone, the mother of Bode and the widow of Vince.
Highlights of Farr’s career include her work in Rescue Me, Numb3rs and Californication.
The fourth season of the CBS series has been one filled with sadness for Farr’s character, Sharon, whose husband didn’t survive a fire in the season 3 finale.
“It wasn’t hard to tap into grief,” the actress told Good Housekeeping in October 2025. “I was actually eager to do it, because it felt honest for the character and what firefighters have to deal with in real life.”
She continued, “We talk about firefighters as heroes, but it is one of those jobs that carries the imminent risk of death. We wouldn’t be doing any favors if we just showed periphery characters losing their lives.”
When Fire Country fans spoke out about Vince’s death, Farr addressed the comments on Instagram, sharing that Fire Country will honor “the impact this character and this actor has made.”
Stephanie Arcila

Arcila played Gabriela, a firefighter and paramedic who was involved in a complicated romance with Bode since season 1.
Arcila broke the heart of Bode — and viewers — when she left Fire Country at the end of the third season, but the actress has teased that the door is open for her to return someday.
“I never say never. Life takes us through so many avenues, and Gabriela is such a gift to me in my career, personally and professionally,” she told Deadline in April 2025, when asked about reprising her role.
“I’m so grateful to have played a Latina on a show and a Latina where they were able to include part of my culture as well, part of my Colombian background,” she continued. “It was really exciting.”
Billy Burke

Burke portrayed Vince, the father of Bode, in the first three seasons of Fire Country.
One of the most dependable and strongest characters on the series, Vince died in a fire at the end of season 3, with his tragic fate revealed in the season 4 premiere.
Before Fire Country, Burke was known for playing Charlie Swan, the dad of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) in the Twilight film series.
The actor has not spoken about his exit from Fire Country, but in the past, he discussed the loving relationship between Vince and his wife, Sharon.
“I’m pretty convinced that they will always find a way through those things because they are the kind of the heartbeat of the family element of this show,” he told ScreenRant in November 2024.
