Chicago Fire Season 13 has been incredible. 

How to Watch

Watch the Season 13 premiere of Chicago Fire Wednesday, September 25 at 9/8c on NBC

Celebrating more than a decade on air, Chicago Fire extends its respectable tenure alongside Chicago P.D. Season 12 and Chicago Med Season 10. Dick Wolf's One Chicago franchise following first responders maintains its grip on audiences, with fans carrying a torch for the flagship series, Chicago Fire, since its debut in 2012. Following the departure of Eammon Walker's beloved fire chief Wallace Boden, Firehouse 51 has been led by Dermot Mulroney's Dom Pascal, and it's been a blast watching the firefighters peel back the layers to their mysterious new boss.

"As the show keeps growing, these characters keep growing. There's the challenge of what's the next cool call?" Fire showrunner Andrea Newman said in a May 2024 CBR interview, later adding, "It's been a constant challenge, but in the best way. A real gift to have these characters that you want to see grow and take unexpected turns."

"It’s never lost on me how special it is to be a part of something with the longevity this has," Taylor Kinney, a.k.a Kelly Severide, told Us Weekly in May 2022. "It’s a testament to [show creator] Dick Wolf and the team of people he puts together.”

What has happened in Chicago Fire Season 13?

It's impossible to anticipate where Chicago Fire's endless action will head next, but Chi-Hards can expect more high-stakes rescue missions and explosive Firehouse 51 drama when the series returns from its fall hiatus. With some staff shake-ups seen in Season 12 of Chicago Fire, it's been compelling watching the firefighters navigate the latest challenges.

Chicago Fire showrunner Andrea Newman told NBC Insider"It is a new era [of Chicago Fire] in lots of ways, though the core family is still together and will need each other to manage the twists and turns ahead. Fans can expect some darker themes [in Season 13], with new challenges, battles, and thrills as things get shaken up at 51!"

“This is home,” Kinney told TODAY while showing Chicago some love in honor of Fire's tenth anniversary. “Times have changed, and the city has changed, and people have grown ... The city has been good to me. I love the city. I’ve gotten to know it through my work."
