We might not know when we’ll see Max Thieriot as Bode Leone back in a firehouse — strikes aside, Fire Country Season 1 ended with him back in prison — but the actor himself sets foot in one in the August 4 episode of Secret Celebrity Renovation, and TV Insider has an exclusive sneak peek.
In the clip, Thieriot brings Survivor‘s Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano to the local fire station, where he can live out a dream “every kind at one point or another [had] … to be a fireman.” There, Thieriot asks volunteer fire captain Steve Balich, “Is there anything we can do? Like, can we put him through some drills? Let’s get him in some gear, make him jump in a fire shelter?”
Watch the full video above to see Thieriot and Mariano race to put on turnouts and who wins, plus more.
