Fire Country fans have suspicions about Collin

Jake's fire story is chilling considering the circumstances, but "Fire Country" fans are more concerned about the person Jake was talking to.

Probie firefighter Collin O'Reilly (Zach Tinker) listens intently as Jake explains his past, although earlier in the episode, Collin revealed that he's already familiar with Jake's life. He openly admitted to researching Jake on the internet, perhaps signaling that there's more to Collin than meets the eye. Needless to say, fans are on high alert.

"Collin has got to be the arsonist. He's just seemed odd from the start. No way they make Jake the arsonist. That fire story of his as a kid is just the show's weak misdirect," theorized Reddit user u/ViperFive1. Even with evidence mounting, some viewers still don't believe that Jake could be the criminal. "I don't care what happened on @FireCountryCBS last night, I'm just not convinced Jake is the arsonist. I still think it's Collin," said Twitter user u/@MtotheC21. Twitter user @VperVero couldn't help but agree, writing, "I don't believe Jake is the arsonist! It's the new guy, they just wanna confuse us!"

Jake has been characterized as a stand-up guy, so it would be surprising if the narrative flipped the switch on his character now.
