Chicago Fire’s New Character Is Already A Carbon Copy Of Season 14’s Departed Star Y01
Chicago Fire is losing a handfu
Both Sam Carver and Jack Damon will be gone by the Chicago Fire season 14 premiere. As revealed in the season 13 finale, Carver is
transferring to Denver. As for Damon, the reasoning behind his exit remains unknown ahead of season 14’s first episode. Meanwhile,
Darren Ritter is set to return for a few episodes before saying goodbye to the TV show.

While three Chicago Fire characters are leaving the series, the One Chicago universe is welcoming someone new to the Firehouse 51 family. Brandon Larracuente is set to star as Sal Vasquez in Chicago Fire season 14. Vasquez is a new firefighter who will work under Stella Kidd’s command on Truck 81 in the upcoming episodes (and he’ll serve as the driver, replacing Carver).

Larracuente has experience working under the Wolf Entertainment umbrella, as he previously played Officer Alex Diaz in the cast of On Call. Some might also recognize the actor from his roles in Bloodline, 13 Reasons Why, or The Good Doctor. Now, Laarracuente is joining the Chicago Fire season 14 cast, and his character might seem familiar because he’s quite similar to Damon.

Vasquez also sounds like he has a bit of a reckless streak, just like Damon. Additionally, the new firefighter will form a connection with Lizzie Novak, who had a fling with Damon in season 13, and his family is full of first responders, similar to Damon. Essentially, Chicago Fire appears to be using Damon as inspiration for Vasquez in season 14.
