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. ABC, meanwhile, introduced Station 19 in 2018 and added 9-1-1 to its roster ahead of season 7 after Fox canceled it in 2023. CBS fired up its own TV success story with Fire Country, which premiered in 2022.

4 Beloved Chicago Med, Fire, & P.D. Stars Just Had a Cute Summer Reunion Hangout

Darren Barnet, Jocelyn Hudon, Benjamin Levy Aguilar, and Hanako Greensmith had a real-life One Chicago crossover moment on June 15 at the 64th Monte-Carlo Television Festival, posing for a cute red carpet photo together.

All three Chicagos were well represented at the event. (Barnet stars on Chicago Med, Hudon and Greensmith star on Chicago Fire, and Aguilar stars on Chicago P.D.) 

Filming breaks won’t stop these pals from hanging out— and dressing to kill while doing it. The Monte-Carlo Television Festival feels like a perfect time to put together a chic outfit, and all four actors excelled in that department.

It was a summer reunion for the ages. See the photo, below:

Aguilar kept fans up to date with an Instagram carousel from the event. From saying hello to fans at the meet-and-greet to posing for the cameras, it looks like the actor had a lovely time.

“What an unforgettable experience at the Monte Carlo Film Festival! It was amazing meeting so many of you. Thank you for the incredible support and love. More to come!” he captioned his post.

How to catch up on past One Chicago episodes

With new episodes of your favorite One Chicago shows returning this fall on NBC, fans have plenty of time to rewatch old episodes, which are all available on Peacock.

Whether you want to re-live the Kim Burgess-Adam Ruzek wedding or celebrate Stella and Severide’s baby news, there are plenty of reasons to dip back into the Chicago universe while waiting for new episodes.

All three shows have become staples in the Dick Wolf universe, and the creator couldn’t be more proud of how they’ve all grown.

“It’s a pretty big [One Chicago] family,” Wolf said in a 2019 interview. “Everybody gets along. I mean, there are no squeaky wheels in the cast… I’ve never had anything like it, which is, I think, only visible to the audience by the fact of how good they are together. There are no line counters. There are no ‘Where’s my close-up?’ It’s a remarkably ensemble-like world.”

“The funny thing is that, with all the darkness [of the plots], we goof around the whole time,” Patrick John Flueger (P.D.‘s Adam Ruzek) told The Hollywood Reporter. “Everyone is so serious, but at the same time, we goof around. Every set says, ‘We’re a family, we’re a family.’ I’ll tell you what: we are a family! Our crew works so hard; they’re there for such long hours that, if we didn’t goof around, I don’t know how it would be survivable.”
