Chicago Fire

.

- The most important word to Firehouse 51

is community.

- There's nothing like being a dad.

When he raises his hand...

we pull him to his feet.

- A woman like her comes around once in a lifetime.

When this community calls...

We respond.

You stay as long as you need.

- I'm trying to send him a wakeup call,

but it's Kelly,

so unless you hit him with a full blast megaphone,

he doesn't get it.

Mm, I think he's getting it.

I can see him standing with his arms crossed

at the end of the ap floor.

- Need me to say something to her?

Nah, she's fine.

- She spent the night at Brett's.

- I'm telling you, it'll blow over.

That's illegal.

- It's the way the Capp family plays.

- You can't roll just one die at a time.

Cruz, tell him.

Cruz. - What?

- Tell Capp he's a moron. - Sore loser.

Squad 3, Truck 81,

Ambulance 61, Engine 51.

Structure Fire, 644 W. Illinois St.

Pull up your boots, boys.

It's time to go battle the beast.

Let's go!

Hey! Step on it, Doherty.

- Yo, why are you in such a good mood, Lieutenant?

Ah, well, I'll tell you.

You know, we had Chinese food last night,

and you know what my fortune cookie said?

No.

"Tomorrow is your lucky day."

And look at this!

We catch a fire before breakfast.

Okay, the address is downtown

so expect some stair climbing.

Make sure to bring extra bottles.

After I hear from Boden,

I wanna make sure everybody in here has all their stuff.

- Fire alarm was tripped on the tenth floor

where we're doing renovations.

I've been looking, but there isn't any smoke up there.

- How many stairwells you got? - Uh, east side and west side.

Okay, you heard her.

Tenth floor, fire could be in the walls.

Eastside will be our fire attack stairwell

so we need Squad Engine right behind on the fire floor.

Truck, westside will be our evacuation stairwell,

the floor below.

I need eyes. Report back in five minutes.

Let's go, let's go, let's go. - Let's go, 81.

- Come on, up the stairs. - Let's go, 81, west stairwell.

- I heard you say renovations on the tenth floor.

- Yes. - You got any people up there?

- The contractor, Trevor Kinkaid.

He was just loading up the elevator.

Oh, here he is.

Hey, you Trevor?

Yes, sir.

- Listen, are you guys doing any work upstairs

that set off a fire alarm?

You know, electrical, welding, plumbing...

- Nah, I'm still just loading in.

- Okay, could you take us up to the eighth floor?

You know, we'll hump it from there,

so I can see what we're dealing with.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, uh, what's your name?

- Holly. - Hey, Holly.

- Hey, Joe, come on. Ride with us.

Come on.

Hey, you can give Severide a "What took you so long?"

Let's go.

Hit it.

So, hey, you hear about my fortune cookie?

Yeah, last night it said

today is my lucky day.

And look at this!

You know, we're not humping up ten flights of stairs.

You know, we get a free elevator ride with--

All right, that was weird.

- Yeah, you know what? Maybe we should just--

What was that?

Whoa!

.

Oh, my God.

What happened?

What was that? - Ah, it's okay.

Just a little hiccup, all right?

Nothing to worry about.

- Nothing to worry about? Something fell on us.

- It sounded like a cable. - A cable?

Like, the thing that holds up the elevator?

- Yeah, there's a bunch of them holding us up, all right?

We're not gonna fall.

Okay.

Okay, hey, hey, hey. You're okay.

Don't move, all right?

Let me get this off of you. We'll get you out.

My leg.

We got you.

It's not working.

Agh!

Forget it, big guy.

This barrel's gotta weigh 500 pounds.

Where's my Slamigan?

Maybe we can use it to lever it up a couple inches.

Good idea.

This oughta work.

Okay.

All right, hey, this is gonna hurt.

You wanna bite on something?

- Just get it off of me! - All right, all right.

- Kay, ready? One, two, three!

Hey, it's okay.

Elevators are designed not to fall.

They've got redundant safety mechanisms.

But we did fall.

- Only a few feet until the brakes kicked in.

Hey, Chief, this is Herrmann.

Cruz and I are trapped in a freight elevator

with two civilians

somewhere around the seventh or eighth floor.

Chief, do you copy?

- Now your radio doesn't work either?

All right, well, you know,

these old buildings are all concrete and steel.

It wreaks havoc on the signal.

- Especially in the stairways and elevator shafts.

- It seems like you should have better technology.

- Somehow the city finds other things to spend its money on.

Chief, come in!

Trevor, how you doing, buddy?

I think it's broken.

Yeah, yeah.

I'd say that's probably right.

- Splint? - Yeah.

- Nothing. No bars.

- Yeah, like I said, same with our two-ways.

Did I overload the elevator?

I tried to keep it under the limit,

but I was just eyeballing it.

- Listen, I'd feel a lot better,

you know, ditching a lot of this weight.

But, no, I doubt that you caused anything, okay?

Hey.

I think the fire alarm went off

because we got trouble at the top of the shaft.

- Yeah, that's where all the guts to the elevator live.

The machine drive, the sheaves...

All right, you know what?

I need something to tie off these splints with.

Yeah.

Will this work?

Yeah.

There you go.

Good eyes.

Hey, where are you guys?

- Uh, hey, uh, Lieutenant, it's Cruz.

We are stuck in a freight elevator

on the eastside. It's jammed up pretty good.

- Severide, Truck 81 is entering the ninth floor now.

- I think you better get up to the fire floor, Casey.

We got a lot of smoke up here.

- Casey. Severide.

Herrmann and I are trapped with civilians

in the service elevator,

and we have sustained heavy damage.

Do you copy?

Casey, you hear me?

I copy you, Severide.

Casey, you there?

We're--

We need-- Fire--

They can't hear you.

- They can barely hear each other.

- Engine 51, this is Lieutenant Herrmann.

Do you copy?

Engine 51, report. Anybody!

- Chief, there's no one on the ninth floor.

We're heading--

This is...

I can't believe it.

I shouldn't even be here.

- We're gonna get you out of here, ma'am.

You just breathe easy.

- No, I just mean this job, this year.

Everything.

I only started working here three weeks ago.

I was a restaurant manager, but we closed

'cause of the stupid virus.

- It's been rough on a lot of us, okay?
