The new season kicks off Wednesday, October 1, with an episode titled “Kicking Down Doors.” According to TV Line, the premiere synopsis reads:

“A new face at Firehouse 51 causes tension, while rising chaos in the city brings new challenges to the team. Herrmann stalls on plans of relinquishing his office to Mouch.”

 

 

As always, fans can expect a mix of adrenaline-pumping rescues, emotional curveballs, and the kind of camaraderie that’s kept the series running strong for over a decade.

One of the biggest changes this year comes in the form of Sal Vasquez, played by Brandon Larracuente (On My Block, The Good Doctor). Vasquez is stepping in as driver following Sam Carver’s (Jake Lockett) exit at the end of Season 13.

 

 

While Season 13 marked the announced exits of both Daniel Kyri (Darren Ritter) and Jake Lockett (Sam Carver), fans will still see Ritter for part of Season 14. Kyri is set to appear in several early episodes to give the beloved character a proper sendoff.

Carver’s farewell, on the other hand, remains tied to the emotional finale of Season 13, where he revealed he was leaving Chicago to focus on his sobriety and his unresolved feelings for Violet.

 

 

What’s Next for Season 14
The departure of two fan-favorite firefighters, the addition of a new recruit, and fresh personal and professional challenges ensure that Chicago Fire remains as explosive as ever. Between big rescues and bigger emotional stakes, fans are bracing for a season that could reshape the firehouse family once again.

 

 

🔥 Chicago Fire Season 14 premieres Wednesday, October 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
