{ToRules[Roots[Denominator[Together[f4s]]==0,s]]}should get you the roots as a
list of replacement rules for s, the expression will be complicated.

Roots is explicitly for finding all the roots of a polynomial expression.
Since the denominator of the rational function is of fourth degree there is a
closed form expression for the roots, but it is complicated.
