Fire Country: Manny can’t overcome his illness, Biggest Death Haunt Three Rock

Fire Country never explained why there was a push for the closure of all fire camps in general, and Three Rock particularly, in season 2.

With the past threats against Three Rock going unexplained and the unlikely push not to have Birch’s death investigated, Eve’s fear that someone might have wanted to cover the truth up could be justified. Indeed, the reaction of Birch’s sister was also worrisome, as she seemed amenable at first and completely closed-off once Eve called her at Fire Country season 3, episode 14’s ending.

Manny’s return to his leadership role in Fire Country season 3 meant he spent a lot of time with Birch, helping him get sober after his impassioned speech about owning up to his mistakes. With Manny effectively acting as the glue between all inmates and Eve, and his symptoms appearing very similar to Birch’s before he died, Three Rock is effectively under attack from several fronts. Manny being a key Fire Country character also ups the stakes of the fight to protect Three Rock, as everyone in the firefighting drama is close to him, making his potential death massively impactful.
