At Steel City Con in Pittsburgh on 9 August, Jared said he may have a guest role of Fire Country. The show stars Max Thieriot as an incacerated man who is part of the prison's volunteer firfighter program. This was officially announced on 12 August.
Jared will appear in a three episode arc in the third season of the CBS drama in a part written specifically for him. E.P. Tia Napolitano said "The part was written for Jared, very specifically. Jared and Max are buddies, so that helped.” His character, a firefighter called Camden, is described as a "maverick with a surfer swagger who is a force to be reckoned with and immediately recognizes Bode’s raw talent."
Napolitano said of the two characters "I think they're twin flames and similar, and Camden's able to encourage, draw out maybe the dangerous side of Bode, but he sees the talent and leans into it. He doesn't try to put lightning back into the bottle."
Morena Baccarin appeared in a back-door pilot episode in Season 2 for Fire Country for a spin-off series called Sheriff Country. There is speculation that Jared's role is also a set-up for his own series, colloquially referred to as Fire Country: Surfside.

What's Fire Country about?

Fire Country follows Bode Leone (also known as Bode Donovan) and his family and friends as they fight fires. Just imagine the Winchester family if they were all firefighters instead of hunters: they will unhesitatingly risk their lives to save anyone that needs help.

Bode's life went off the rails after his sister died in a car accident he holds himself responsible for. After changing his name and leaving town, he ended up doing crimes and ends up in prison for armed robbery. There he ends up joining a prgram run by Cal Fire, where incarcerated people are offered the chance of early release in exchange for fighting fires. This takes him back to his home town.

Who does Jared play?

Jared will play a firefighter called Camden who is described by EP Tia Napolitano as a "maverick with a surfer swagger".

He’s an envelope pusher, and he and Bode are both going to be the first one to jump into a fire when they shouldn’t. And it’s almost a race of which one of them is more heroic and willing to go rogue and willing to do anything to get the save.

In Real Life

Incacerated people in the Conservation Fire Camp assist government agencies respond to emergencies such as fires and floods and assist with park maintenance and reforestation. In California there are 35 minimum security facilities commonly known as fire camps, located across California.

Incacerated people in the program earn between $5.80 and $10.24 per day. During an active emergency, incarcerated fire crew members earn an additional $1 per hour. They also earn time off their sentence.

Who else is fighting fires?

  • Jake Crawford. (Jordan Calloway) Jake and Bode are close friends, frequent romantic rivals, and now are even rivals for a kid (more on that later). Jake was in a relationship with Riley, and later Graciela and then Cara before her death.
  • Sharon (Diane Farr) and Vince Leon (Billy Burke) are Bode's parents. Each of the two seasons gave them a serious health issue.
  • Riley Leon (Jade Pettyjohn) Riley's dead sister. She was in a relationship with Jake, and best friends with Eve before her death.
  • Gabriela Perez (Stephanie Arcila) Former Olympic diver and new firefighter, aside from she has been in relationships with Jake, Bode and is currently with Diego.
  • Eve Edwards (Jules Latimer) Best friends with Graciela before her death, and close friends with Bode. Eve is our only queer character, but season 2 sort of forgot that fact and focused more on her career.

Seasons 1 and 2

Season 1 finds Bode re-connecting with his friends and family and his own heroic nature. At the end of the first season, he takes the blame for some planted drugs to save his friend, Freddy, from going back to prison. While in prison, Bode again cuts off all contact from his family, including his new girlfriend, former Olympic diver and new firefighter, Gabriela.

Bode's mother Sharon develops a kidney kidney disease in the first season, and gets a transplant from her brother Luke. In Season 2, Luke becomes the Interim Division Chief of Division 1501. Sharon and Vince's relationship is rocked because of Sharon's friendship with another firefighter, Liam.

Manny Perez, Gabriela's father, was the captain of the Three Rock conservation camp, which is the base for the program Bode is part of the Cal Fire program. Unfortunately, Bode's arrrest leads to him losing the position, which Eve take over.

After Bode's return to prison, again, Gabriela is heartbroken, but she moves on to paramedic Diego and they become engaged at the beginning of season 2. Bode’s descent into prison bad boy is only stopped when best friend Jake lets him know that Bode may be a Dad. Bode’s high school girlfriend, Cara, has finally admitted that her ‘younger sister’ Genevieve is actually her daughter and Bode may be the Dad. Bode is transformed and after saving the inmate who framed him, Bode secures his transfer back to Cal Fire. Jake is now dating Cara, and bonds with her daughter, so the two best friends are now rivals for the affections of Genevieve. When Cara passes away after a tragic accident, Genevieve, who has not spent much time with Bode, prefers Jake. By the end of the season DNA proves Bode is not the father, and she is placed in care with Bode’s parents.

Bode and Gabriela still flirt and share heated glances and then she ends up kissing him. Despite her feelings for Bode, she goes ahead with the wedding to Diego. But before the vows are finished, her Dad is arrested after he punched Bode’s uncle after finding out that he had tried to get Cal Fire closed. There is so much drama in this town!

As the season ended it's not clear whether Graciela and Diego got married. Bode has approached his uncle Luke (the one Gabriela's dad punched) to try and become a full-time firefighter. Luke meanwhile is worried that Bode's mom Sharon is after his job. As Jake and the Geveive are bonding while he avoids going to Graciela's wedding, another of Cara’s exes, Rick, shows up claiming to be Geneveive's biological father.

S3 Ep 5 Edgewater's About to Get Real Cozy

Camden Casey makes an impact as he arrives in Edgewater as the new cadert coach for Ladder 42 - Bode's new boss. He's having a quiet drink at Bode's, although people are already noticing the tall guy wearing a Dodger's shirt and flip flops. When some of Diego's friends pick a fight with Bode over his role in breaking up Deigo and Gabriella, Cam steps in and with the a well-timed chuck of his footwear and the use of some salt and pepper, he defuses the situation.

There's no time for long introductions as a plane has crashed on the outskirts of Edgewater. Cam gets Bode up on top of the place putting out a fire in the cockpit, despite Jake telling Cam this is against the rules for trainees. Obviously Cam is a rulebreaker, and that suits Bode just fine!

As the town tries to accomodate all the passengers from the plane, Cam helpfully tells Bode and the audience his back story. Ten ofhis crew died in a bad fire, and Cam thinks he could've saved them if he had followed his gut and not the rules. "You have a wolf inside you, and you got to feed it and don't ever put it in a cage." he tells Bode who I supect will get this on a tshirt. later Cam give Jake some advice about Bode: "You gotta let him be free to run into the fire and not worry that he's going to burn." which seems like unwise advice for a firefighter.

Other developments durng the episode are that Bode and Gabs are hooking up on the regular, Bode's mother Sharon is being gaslight by doctors about her health, Eve tries to reconcile with her brother, and Daddy Leon and Cadet Audrey sing a song.

In the Fire Camp team, Eve has appointed Eve Manny as head of the crew, which causes tensions with Cole.

Back at base, Aubreyimpresses Sharon with her ability to coordinate things under pressure, and also diagnose that her joint pain and hot flushes are due to menopause.
