SPOILER ALERT! This story contains plot points from Friday’s episode of Fire Country on CBS.
In Friday’s episode dubbed “This Storm Will Pass,” the Edgewater firefighters encounter their first firenado that ends up taking the life of someone very close to the team.

PHELAN We had stunt people on wires. Every midseason you want a big event. We thought firenado was a good big event to kick off the second half of the season.
DEADLINE So you killed off Cara. When you first hired Sabina Gadecki, did you tell her ‘just FYI,
