Whatever dud, take responsibility! She apparently ins up with a “real” fire fighter. The ex, who supposedly got him in prison. Whatever!!! Oh, and don’t get me started on the women roles in this soap opera. Oh, wait no that’s not right! He’s going to work for CalFire for $30/hr. Hey, but at lease he (a good looking white guy) learns a trade, so that he can go work for the FS at $15/hr. (A real Cinderella story!) Turns his life around, really? As an inmate you’d make $2 to $5 a day in camp and an additional $1 to $2 an hour when on a fire line. Who wrote this crap! Seriously, let’s start with the inmate who turns into a firefighter.
#PLAYING WITH FIRE TRAILER SERIES#
While we cannot prevent this television series from airing, I believe it is important for each of you to hear from me directly that the Department was not involved in its creation or support. The dramatization of inmate firefighters fighting members of CAL FIRE is a poor reflection of the value of our Camps Program and the incredible work and leadership of our fire captains who supervise our handcrews.
#PLAYING WITH FIRE TRAILER PROFESSIONAL#
This television series is a misrepresentation of the professional all-hazards fire department and resource protection agency that CAL FIRE is. The Director of CAL FIRE, Joe Tyler, sent an email to the agency’s employees indicating that CAL FIRE is not pleased. The best I have seen was in Only the Brave, about the Granite Mountain Hotshots. It will be interesting to watch how well it is done. Wildfire flames and smoke are some of the most difficult scenes to pull off successfully with CGI. In the trailer below, the fire scenes appear to be computer-generated imagery (CGI). I’m sure that real firefighters will enjoy picking it apart after it premieres. It is scheduled to air Fridays at 9/8 CT. It turns out that the camp where the crew is based is in his hometown, “The place where all his troubles began,” says the CBS description of the drama.
Fire Country is about a guy, Bode Donavan, who is in a California prison and signs up to serve on a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection inmate hand crew. Starting this fall wildland firefighters will have the dubious pleasure of watching their profession depicted in a television series on a major network. Still images from the Fire Country trailer.
