What to Expect from Fire Country Season 5 Episode 4: A New Unit on the Scene

Fire Country, Previews

Bode and the new VFD are riding a newfound high on Fire Country Season 5 Episode 4, “Winners and Losers,” after getting the go-ahead to keep training and helping Station 42.

It’s a win-win decision for everyone involved. Despite everyone’s initial qualms about restarting the VFD, they’ve already proven themselves a vital asset.

Without their last-second intervention on Fire Country Season 5 Episode 3, “What Needs to Be Done,” Bode and the little girl he was saving wouldn’t have made it out alive.

Elsewhere, Sharon faces a tough decision after finding a duffel bag full of cash in one of the burned-down mobile homes. It’s clearly a small bribe from Albert Evans, and a look at what Station 42 could have if Sharon backs his plans for a data center.

With data centers such a contentious topic nationwide right now, it’s intriguing to see how the series approaches it.
