Katie Dowd, writing for SFGate, accused Fire Country of being exploitative and "inaccurate."{{cite web|url=https://www.sfgate.com/streaming/article/fire-country-cbs-exploits-wildfires-17530627.php|title=The new Calif. firefighter show is so bad that Cal Fire disavowed it|website=SFGATE|first=Katie|last=Dowd|date=October 25, 2022|access-date=October 25, 2022}}
=Cal Fire response=
Prior to the show's release, Cal Fire Chief Joe Tyler released a statement denying any involvement in the creation of the show, saying that "this television series is a misrepresentation of the professional all-hazards fire department and resource protection agency that Cal Fire is." Particular objection was made to a scene in the series' trailer involving an inmate fighting a member of Cal Fire.{{cite news |last1=Williams |first1=Ayaana |title=Cal Fire condemns CBS show involving its inmate firefighter program |url=https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/sacramento/cal-fire-condemns-cbs-new-show/103-28297831-18a3-4340-a537-d0dc9cc38613 |access-date=March 13, 2023 |work=ABC10 |date=May 26, 2022}}
Tim Edwards, the president of Cal Fire's union, Local 2881, added that "we have spoken with our legal team, and we cannot prevent the series from airing or using the Cal Fire name." An attempt was made to legally require a disclaimer before and after each episode that disavowed involvement from Cal Fire, but was unsuccessful. After seeing the full pilot, Edwards continued to disapprove of the show and added criticism over inmates not being punished for multiple rule violations that would normally result in an immediate return to prison.{{cite news |last1=Rogers |first1=Nate |title='Fire Country,' a new show about Cal Fire, is a hit.

Showrunner Tia Napolitano replied to the criticisms saying "I had almost no response. I know we are making an entertainment show. It's not a documentary. We do our absolute best." Jeff Snider, a retired firefighter and one of the show's consultants, noted the New York City Police Department did not comment on the realism of Law & Order and said Cal Fire's unusual response was because "just in general with firefighters, we are very good at finding the flaw with each other."
