 A Decade of Heroism

Since premiering in 2012, Chicago Fire has built a passionate fanbase and a strong ensemble cast. Over 250 episodes later, its blend of heart-pounding rescues and heartfelt relationships continues to keep fans hooked.

Series lead Taylor Kinney (Kelly Severide) reflected on the show’s longevity, telling Us Weekly:

He added to TODAY:

“Chicago is home. The city’s been good to me. I’ve gotten to know it through my work.”

The show is filmed on location, which adds authenticity — and plenty of freezing set stories from cast and crew.

 Behind the Brotherhood

The spirit of Chicago Fire lies in its cast’s chemistry — both on and off screen.

“We laugh hard every day on this show. That’s why the crew has stayed. Everybody that could possibly stay, stays — because it’s a beautiful set.”
