TV show description:
This TV series provides a look into the lives of the everyday heroes who are committed to one of America’s noblest professions. For the firefighters, rescue squad and paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51, no occupation is more stressful or dangerous, yet so rewarding and exhilarating. These courageous men and women are among the elite who forge headfirst into danger when everyone else is running the other way and whose actions make the difference between life and death.
The pressure to perform on such a high level has a way of taking a personal toll, sometimes putting team members from the Truck and the specially trained Rescue Squad at odds with each other. Despite any differences, this is an extended family, and when it’s “go time,” everyone inside Firehouse 51 knows no other way than to lay it all on the line for each other. When a tragedy claims one of their own, there’s plenty of guilt and blame to go around.
Matthew Casey (Jesse Spencer) is a strong, intuitive lieutenant who is in charge of the Truck. He’s still coming to grips with the loss of one of his men and, unbeknownst to his colleagues, is in the midst of a separation from Hallie (Teri Reeves), a hospital resident.
Matthew butts heads with brash Lieutenant Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) of the Rescue Squad. Each blames the other for their fallen team member.
Others in the firehouse include Battalion Chief Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker), a fireman’s fireman who is confronted by important personal decisions; paramedics Gabriela Dawson (Monica Raymund) and Leslie Shay (Lauren German), who share a close bond and team together to face some of the most harrowing situations imaginable; Peter Mills (Charlie Barnett), an academy graduate who is the latest generation in a family of firefighters; and Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg), a seasoned veteran who loses his home to foreclosure and now must uproot his family to move in with his in-laws.

The ‘everyday’ characters are 12 year old adolescents – don’t want my son or daughter to date them or be them

I love this show. Do not cancel. Try cancelling some of those dumb reality shows, as they suck.
Chicago Fire is terrible ! Thats it theres nothing else to say really !
[…] ratings still need rescuing and they’re hoping Chicago Fire is up to the task. Will this new TV show be cancelled after one season or become Dick Wolf’s […]
This show is just so hollywood I think this show should be cancelled..
“Chicago Fire” is junk, period. The lack of even basic safety procedures, unprofessional radio chatter enroute to a scene, smoking in the firehouse and on the rigs, and the woeful dialog made me stop watching after less than 15 minutes. This show is little more than a group of sex-starved high schoolers in a firehouse. NBC should cancel this now.
As a medic myself, I feel the idea of the story line hit close to home for me. Now I would be calling out Becks Triad on scene or anything, however the show has potential. Dial down the textbook lingo and stick to the field verbiage that tv watchers can understand to make it entertaining to the Fire/Resue family as well as all that sing us praise after there time in need. As a side note, if a tv show were to show what we REALLY see in the field, do you really think anyone would watch it? I think… Read more »
Just finish watching this pathetic representative for Chicago Fire service, being a paramedic I would not want these paramedics treating me,and the fire service personnel are not much better. Either make it more what EMS and Fire people really do or this one will be added to long list of inaccurate depiction. I give one month before it is cancelled,so much potential but I do not see it improving.

Absolutely gorgeous guys. Hope it is a success. Not a good nite for tv for me but I’ll watch when I can. Production much superior to Glades and looks wise can give Jim a run for his money. Still like Jim & Callie together. IMHO they are the strength of the show.
