New to Chicago Fire?

The show follows the firefighters, rescue squad, and paramedics of Firehouse 51 — the folks who run toward danger when everyone else runs the other way. The job is high-stress, high-stakes, and regularly life-or-death, but that rush and the sense of purpose are exactly why they keep suiting up.
