Production[edit]

Development[edit]

In November 2021, CBS announced it was developing a series with Thieriot, Tony Phelan and Joan Rater, based on Thierot's experiences growing up in Northern California fire country. The potential series was then known as Cal Fire.[47] In February 2022, a series pilot was green-lit.[48] The pilot was written by Phelan and Rater, with Thieriot as co-writer, and directed by James Strong. In May 2022, CBS picked up the series, now titled Fire Country.[49] Tia Napolitano would serve as the series showrunner.[50] On October 19, 2022, the series received a full season order.[51] On January 6, 2023, CBS renewed the series for a second season.[2] On March 12, 2024, the series was renewed for a third season.[4]

Filming[edit]

Filming of the series began on July 21, 2022, in Vancouver, Canada, and concluded on April 5, 2023.[52] The series uses the nearby village of Fort Langley to portray the fictional Northern California town of Edgewater.[53] Additionally establishing shots for the city of Edgewood were filmed in Rio Dell, in Humboldt County, California, where the show is set.[54]

Casting[edit]

In February 2022, it was announced that Thieriot would star in the series.[55] In March 2022, Burke and Alejandro were given lead roles in the pilot.[56] A few days later, it was announced that Farr, Calloway, Arcila, and Latimer would be appearing as series regulars.[57] In September 2022, it was announced that Trucco would be joining the show in a recurring role.[58] In January 2023, it was reported that Zach Tinker joined the cast in an undisclosed capacity.[8] In March 2023, it was announced that Rebecca Mader and Kanoa Goo were cast in recurring roles.[1] In December 2023, it was reported that Rafael de la Fuente joined the cast in a recurring capacity for the second season.[11] On December 15, 2023, it was reported that casting was currently underway for a new character in Season 2 (a female sheriff), who may possibly be the main character in a spinoff (or become a series regular).[59] On December 19, 2023, it was reported that Tye White and Jason O'Mara would also join the cast in a recurring capacity for the second season.[60]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 50% approval rating with an average rating of 4.3/10, based on 8 critic reviews.[64] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 55 out of 100 based on 5 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[65]

Katie Dowd, writing for SFGATE, accused Fire Country of being exploitative and "inaccurate."[66]

Cal Fire response[edit]

Prior to the show's release, Cal Fire Chief Joe Tyler released a statement denying any involvement in the creation of the show, saying that "this television series is a misrepresentation of the professional all-hazards fire department and resource protection agency that Cal Fire is." Particular objection was made to a scene in the series' trailer involving an inmate fighting a member of Cal Fire.[67]

Tim Edwards, the president of Cal Fire's union, Local 2881, added that "we have spoken with our legal team, and we cannot prevent the series from airing or using the Cal Fire name." An attempt was made to legally require a disclaimer before and after each episode that disavowed involvement from Cal Fire, but was unsuccessful.[67] After seeing the full pilot, Edwards continued to disapprove of the show and added criticism over inmates not being punished for multiple rule violations that would normally result in an immediate return to prison.[68]

Showrunner Tia Napolitano replied to the criticisms saying "I had almost no response. I know we are making an entertainment show. It's not a documentary. We do our absolute best." Jeff Snider, a retired firefighter and one of the show's consultants, noted the New York City Police Department did not comment on the realism of Law & Order and said Cal Fire's unusual response was because "just in general with firefighters, we are very good at finding the flaw with each other."[68]
