"I Wasn’t a Part of the Conversation": 'Fire Country's Max Thieriot Addresses Fans' Concerns About the Bella Vista Fire

Shows about the inner workings of firehouses have become common. With some like Chicago Fire having been on the air for over a decade, viewers can almost predict what will happen in many fire rescues. Fans have become aware of protocols and why they are in place, since they affect the narrative's direction. Potential consequences for breaking protocol could see someone booted from their firehouse. That's why procedures and actions in CBS' Fire Country have invited criticism since the show's inception. From too much soapiness in the middle of rescues to questionable grooming for some characters, there hasn't been a shortage of things that don't add up. Case in point was during the two-hour Season 3 finale, which saw the characters battle a huge fire at Walter's (Jeff Fahey) care facility, Bella Vista.
