Just when you thought it was safe to head back into the beanery, Chicago Fire Season 15 arrives to remind us why it’s the hottest show on

television. Firehouse 51 has survived everything from building collapses to serial arsonists, but this year, the threats aren’t just coming

from the flames—they’re coming from within. As we dive into the latest chapter of the Windy City’s finest, buckle up for a ride defined by high-octane rescue missions and emotional wreckage that will leave fans breathless.

Showrunner Derek Haas has never been afraid to “thin the herd” to keep the stakes high.
