Good news, Chihards — Chicago Fire is absolutely new tonight. Season 14 is already heating up, and Episode 2 (“Primary Search”) promises big moments for Firehouse 51.
This year kicked off with major changes, new leadership tensions, and a fresh face at the firehouse: Sal Vasquez (Brandon Larracuente). The newcomer has quickly become one of the most intriguing additions to the series, bringing mystery, grit, and a whole lot of heart. Larracuente says his castmates have made joining a 13-year institution surprisingly seamless. “It definitely feels like a family,” he shared. “Every day has been a good time.”
Tonight’s episode keeps that momentum going. Vasquez throws himself into proving his worth at 51, Violet and Novak chase down a disturbing case, and Herrmann does his best to keep Molly’s thriving — as only Herrmann can.
When Does Chicago Fire Air?
New episodes of Season 14 premiere Wednesdays at 9/8c on NBC, with next-day streaming available on Peacock.
A Look Ahead
Episode 3 (“In the Blood”) follows next week, teasing citywide budget cuts, high-pressure calls, and a personal blow for Violet.
And according to showrunner Andrea Newman, the shake-ups aren’t slowing down. CFD is “cleaning house,” and no one at Firehouse 51 is safe from the fallout. Season 14 is all about change — and how the team holds together when the pressure hits from every side.
For now, grab your gear. Firehouse 51 is back on the job tonight.
