7 Best Things About Chicago Fire We Should All Appreciate More
Amid all the grievances, let’s not forget what makes us love Chicago Fire so much.
7. Huge Crossover Episodes
We’ll be the first to admit there haven’t been many of those lately — but here’s to hoping! Crossovers between Fire, Med, and PD are often some of the best and biggest dramatic episodes on the show, and we just can’t have enough of them.
6. Breathtaking Rescue Scenes
Chicago Fire has always featured some truly spectacular rescue scenes, especially, whenever Squad is involved. These scenes have been on the lower side in the last seasons, but we have our fingers crossed that we’ll get more truly dramatic acts!
5. Rare On-Screen Deaths
Unlike many TV shows that go for the shock factor, Chicago Fire doesn’t indulge in on-screen deaths too much. This series knows how to make the audience freeze with fear or cry their eyes out without being too gross, and we’re thankful for that.
4. Humor Amid the Drama
Firefighting is a serious job: it’s almost always a matter of life and death, both for those rescuing and those rescued. But Chicago Fire throws in the perfect dose of humor and laughter into the mix, treating us with fun banter between the characters.
3. Dynamic Friendship Duos
As hard as their job is and as dramatic as their relationships often get, folks over at Firehouse 51 always find themselves great friends. Capp and Tony, Herrmann and Mouch, Severide and Casey — and many other duos are iconic in their own right!
2. Wisened Veteran Firefighters
While the younger generations deal with their non-stop drama, you really get to appreciate their older colleagues. Mouch with his “wizened ways” and Herrmann with his crazy family give off such different vibes and add a lot of warmth to Chicago Fire.
1. Close and Familial Atmosphere
Perhaps the best thing about Firehouse 51 is how great of a work environment it is. Most people there are pretty close and care about each other; they work and rest together and are always willing to look out for one another. The firehouse genuinely feels like one big family, and that’s what every workplace should strive to be.
