The Fire Country Season 4 trailer doesn’t hold back. In the new footage, CBS confirms that Battalion Chief Vince Leone (Billy Burke) did not survive the inferno that ended last season, setting up a volatile new status quo for Station 42 and the Leone family. The trailer reveals Vince’s death outright and previews fresh faces shaking up Edgewater.

Meanwhile, the teaser also tees up a painful goodbye between Bode and Gabriela and hints at a leadership vacuum inside Station 42, with emotions running hot and loyalties tested. Those story beats point to a looming battle over who leads the house in Vince’s absence.

What the Fire Country Season 4 Trailer Shows

The trailer confirms several pivotal beats. First, Edgewater is grieving Vince—a cornerstone of both the department and the Leone family. Second, Bode’s impulse to charge back into danger collides with Jake’s duty-bound restraint, complicating a friendship already forged in fire. Finally, Station 42 faces scrutiny and possible suspension as the team struggles to regroup without its battalion chief.

Who’s In, Who’s Out

Vince’s death also signals star Billy Burke’s exit from the main cast this season. The trailer further teases a goodbye between Bode and Gabriela, aligning with prior reporting that Stephanie Arcila’s character is on her way out. New authority figures arrive to assess the fallout and reset the chain of command, a move both outlets say will drive early-season conflict.

What It Means for Station 42

With Vince gone, Station 42’s future becomes a live question. The house needs a leader, but grief clouds judgment. The footage hints at internal rivalries, hard choices, and a community watching closely. Expect the series to explore how loss reshapes the Leones and forces younger firefighters to step up.

Release & Timing

The exact premiere details are not confirmed within the two sources cited here. (If CBS has announced a date elsewhere, the show’s official channels will have the latest.)

Bottom line: the Fire Country Season 4 trailer doesn’t just deliver shock value; it reframes the season’s core stakes around family, legacy, and who carries the torch when a pillar falls.
