“Chicago Fire” started its 13th season today in the USA on NBC. This time a new chief is taking command of Firehouse 51. What else is in store for the Windy City Fire Department?

This Wednesday, September 25th, the 13th season of the US fire department series Chicago Fire celebrates its world premiere on NBC.

In it, a new chief takes command at Firehouse 51. Meanwhile, Violet (Hanako Greensmith) and Novak (Jocelyn Hudon) work to uncover the truth behind a car accident. Cruz (Joe Minoso) keeps an eye on Severide (Taylor Kinney) and Damon (Michael Bradway), who become more and more friends.

The new boss in Firehouse 51 from “Chicago Fire” also brings with him a wife who series junkies might recognize from Private Practice or Shut Eye. This refers to KaDee Strickland, who will star in season 13 as Monica Pascal, the estranged wife of Dermot Mulroney’s character Chief Dom Pascal.

Strickland could also have been seen in the second season of Cruel Summer – in the US on Freeform and in Germany on Amazon Prime Video – or in Secrets & Lies (US).

Dom comes to Chicago from Miami, where he spent the last few years. But he started his career in the Windy City with the Chicago Fire Department. His leadership style will be significantly different from the popular Chief Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker). Will everything be okay with that?

Walker left the series at the end of the twelfth season. In his farewell episode, his character Boden was promoted to CFD deputy commissioner and then announced that he wanted Herrmann (played by David Eigenberg) to replace him on the men and women of the 51st. But first, Herrmann has to be promoted to captain and take the test to become battalion chief, which is why someone else has to temporarily take over the vacant position.

Jake Lockett can look forward to more screen time, money and leading actor status. He has been there since the eleventh season as firefighter Sam Carver. A love has developed between Carver and the paramedic Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith).
