When it comes to firefighter TV shows, there are plenty for fans to choose from — including Chicago Fire, Fire Country and 9-1-1.
Dick Wolf’s Chicago Fire premiered in 2012 and gave life to the One Chicago universe with spinoffs Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med.
“The challenge always is that we reflect and we edify the self-sacrifice and the hard work that everyone who put themselves in the frontline are doing,” Kara Killmer, who plays paramedic Sylvia Brett on Chicago Fire, exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2021. “It takes such a special person and such a heart of service to choose to keep going out there every day and putting your life on your line or taking those risks.”
Fox got in on the firefighter trend with 9-1-1 in 2018 and later 9-1-1: Lone Star. CBS fired up its own TV success story with Fire Country, which premiered in 2022. (ABC also joined the firefighter world in 2023 when it picked up 9-1-1 for season 7 after it was canceled by Fox.)
