Plot
In the second season, firefighter Evan 'Buck' Buckley's sister Maddie arrives in Los Angles on the run from her abusive partner. She takes up a job as a 911 dispatcher. Edmundo 'Eddie' Diaz joins the firefighters. Eddie is from Texas and has a son who has cerebral palsy. While there was a rivalry brewing between Buck and Eddie, the two end up being close by the end of season 2. Athena Grant (field Sergeant in the LAPD) and Bobby Nash (captain of the LAFD station 118) get married in the season finale. In the season 2 finale, the first responders were dealing with a serial bomber. The bomber turned out to be the son of someone Bobby and Athena put away years ago. Unfortunately, one of the bombs blew up the firetruck and Buck's legs ended up getting crushed under the truck. His surgery went successfully, but he would be able to walk again. But whether Buck would be able to return as a firefighter will be dealt with only in the next season. Meanwhile, Eddie's probation year is over and he is a full-on firefighter now.
In the season 2 preview, Buck is seen enjoying the day with Christopher (Eddie's son) at the beach. However, the beach-goers soon realize a tsunami is headed their way when the waters recede and start running from the beach.
