Explained simply
Chicago Fire is a long-running American television drama about firefighters, paramedics and rescue workers at a Chicago fire station. It follows both emergency calls and the personal lives of the people working there.
Dermot Mulroney joined the series as Dom Pascal, a fire chief responsible for leading the station and making decisions during major incidents. His character is part of the programme’s wider group of senior officers, who oversee crews carrying out dangerous public-safety work.
Changes among the main cast can affect how a continuing drama develops, especially when they involve a character in a leadership role. Chicago Fire is one of several connected Chicago-based NBC dramas, alongside programmes about police officers and hospital staff.
