Fire Country Season 4 has been one for the books, marked by the loss of fan-favorite characters and actors. The season has kept fans on their toes with various twists and turns, including a jaw-dropping fall finale.

It’s been over two months since Fire Country delivered a jaw-dropping mid-season finale, with several Station 42 lives in grave danger as Manny (Kevin Alejandro) crumbled under the pressure of his first major wildfire as Battalion Chief.

The mid-season finale aired on December 19, 2025, and two months later, fans are ready for the show to return. There’s good news on the horizon forFire Country fans, as the wait is almost over.

When Will ‘Fire Country’ Air New Episodes in 2026?

Fire Country returns on Friday, February 27, at 9/8c with Season 4 Episode 10, titled "On the Carpet," hitting CBS airwaves. The episode will officially mark the halfway point for the season, which was given a 20-episode order when it was renewed for Season 4.

Given the episode count and the finale airing in May, Fire Country fans will likely get limited interruptions once the show returns. However, CBS has yet to reveal the spring schedule, so there could be a one or two week break along the way.

What Can Fans Expect When ‘Fire Country’ Returns?

Several questions need to be answered when Fire Country is back. Up first is what happens to Bode (Max Thieriot) and Tyler (Conor Sherry) after the duo is trapped under the silver fire shelter amid the massive wildfire.

Fans can also expect to learn the fate of Jake (Jordan Calloway) and his half-brother Malcolm (Dominic Goodman). The two fighting brothers were in a fire truck accident involving other Drake County firefighters.

If that wasn’t enough, the Zabel Ridge arsonist, Landon (Josh McDermitt), is on the loose and out for revenge against Tyler, Bode, and Chloe (Alona Tal). He was questioned by the police because of them, but there was no evidence against him, which means he's now putting more lives in danger.

The plot points will all be addressed in Episode 10. However, Fire Country executive producer Tia Napolitano revealed to Parade that one major return will happen during the remainder of Season 4.

Christine Lahti pops back up as Sharon’s estranged mother, Ruby, for a couple of episodes. Napolitano revealed there’s still a lot to unpack between these two, but hinted Sharon begins to let her guard down, making for some “fun” scenes to watch.

There's so much to look forward to when Fire Country finally returns!
