Chief Wallace Boden has been a pillar since Chicago Fire began. His deep voice, unwavering principles, and protective nature made him the spiritual and literal leader of the show. But with age and mounting stress, rumors of Boden’s potential retirement or promotion are swirling.
Who Could Take the Helm?

Whatever Boden chooses, his legacy is secure. But Chicago Fire without Boden at the center is uncharted territory. If he does leave the house, it’ll be the most emotionally charged farewell since Casey’s departure.
