Chicago Fire

Flames are rolling through both windows at sill level.

What do you do?

I wouldn't send anyone in, Chief.

At that point it's a recovery, it's not a rescue.

The correct answer!

You must have big plans for Stella Kidd.

Got real potential.

I'm Lieutenant Wendy Seager from OFI.

They brought me on to help clear up a backlog of cases.

I've love you to come work with us, Severide.

I'm happy where I am.

You can't transfer me without my approval.

You don't have that kind of authority.

The transfer didn't come from us.

It came from Commissioner Grissom.

Public service isn't about

doing what you want to do, Kelly.

Right now, OFI needs help.

Lieutenant.

Did they give you a desk yet?

- Nope, I just got here. - Ah.

I told Worthon to catch you coming in.

I parked on Dearborn. I took the back stairs.

Oh, your dad taught you that trick?

It was the first of many.

You weren't kidding about the backlog.

Yeah, that side of the room is May to September.

This side is October to now.

Hey, Severide.

Forgive me if we skip the orientation video.

I'm gonna go ahead and hand off these cases to you.

These are the files that have determinations

from CFD or outside investigators.

Just need a once-over and rubber stamp.

Well, if they already have determinations...

I'm easing you in.

Double-check the work and then help Seager clear May-June.

Welcome to OFI.

Ah, I'm 90% sure there's a double hand clap there.

- Oh, that makes more sense. - Right? Okay.

Ladies.

Chief.

I just want to let you know

I've signed you up for the academy.

Oh, I already took the Rescue Tech certification, so...

No.

It's to be an instructor.

- Oh. - Yes.

People keep reaching out to me

about your performance at the leadership conference.

- Of course they are. -

I spoke to Chief Benton. He wants you to take over

the Physical Conditioning class for new cadets.

- When? - Tomorrow.

Oh... okay. Yes, of course.

I'm looking forward to it, Chief.

I knew you would.

You know, it's a great way to get your name out there,

establish yourself as a potential leader

- in the department. - Thank you, Chief.

You're welcome.

And...

yeah.

I don't know if I even remember

that conditioning routine.

I don't know, if you can remember "Miss Mary Mack,"

that'll be cake.

Oh, look who we got. New shoes Cruz!

Somebody's rolling in it.

I will say in the Twitter game of life,

the Slamigan is trending.

I have so many orders I can't even fill them right now.

How much those kicks set you back?

- Oh, $250 easy. - A pair?

Whoo.

I could use a moneymaker myself, badly.

- Why, what's up? - Got a letter on my door.

Landlord is raising the rent come the new year.

- - I know.

And I love my place.

Woman in my building says

she walks dogs for a nice chunk of change.

Tuesday could use a walk around the block

if you want some practice.

Sure. $50 and I'm in.

You don't even like dogs.

I don't know. What can I say, I'm desperate.

Engine 51, smoke investigation.

All good shifts start with a call during breakfast.

Remember that, Ritter. Come on.

Eh. Looks like burnt popcorn, boys.

That's Stephanie's place.

She's into incense if that tells you anything.

- Incense burner, Lieutenant. - All right, great.

Grab the silver bullet. Let's lift a leg on this.

Fire Department, we need to check on...

Help me! God, please help me!

Chicago Fire S08E08 "Seeing Is Believing"

Clarence, grab me a hose line!

Help me! God, please help me!

Here, Lieutenant.

Dougherty, charge the line!

Go!

Stay on me!

Yes, Lieutenant!

Oh, God! I can't breathe...

I'm gonna hold it back.

Copy that.

Get her!

Copy!

Hey, it's okay, it's all right,

Let's go, let's go.

Back you up, Lieutenant.

Hit it, guys!

Come on!

I lit a candle and went to take a bath.

I do it all the time, never once...

- Don't try to talk, ma'am. - I smelled smoke.

And when I poked my head into the living room,

it was just a little char on the arm of the couch.

You know, like a couple of embers had gotten in there.

And I didn't panic. I just thought

I'll grab the extinguisher under the sink, no big deal.

When I turned around again, it erupted.

Hey, Beezley, we're gonna stick around and help overhaul.

All clear here.

This is where the fire started, like the lady said.

See all this... this char?

It's darker than the rest.

Uh-huh.

And in the time it took us

to move from the sidewalk to the front door,

this thing went up like a Roman candle.

Doesn't feel right.

I don't know, maybe some accelerant was involved.

Or maybe she dropped a hairspray bottle

under the couch, forgot about it.

Yeah. Help me flip it.

One, two, three.

Hey.

Hey.

What'd you and Severide call 'em?

Cigar chats?

I don't think we call them anything, Chief.

Well, since your partner in crime has been detailed out,

maybe I could fill in?

Say no more.

What are these?

They're Cohibas.

I've got a friend in Biggs Mansion.

You all right, Chief?

Yeah, you know.

Severide getting detailed out, that got me...

thinking.

We've had a solid shift for a long time here, right?

Yes, we have.

And I guess...

I don't want it to end.

Severide was clear.

He's just helping OFI out

till they get their head above water,

then he's back to 51.

Unless you know something I don't.

No.

It's just uh, every now and then...

I take a look at Severide and I catch a glimpse of Benny.

He didn't think he was gonna move to OFI either.

And then he did.

- This doesn't add up. - What doesn't?

This is a grocery store fire from April 18th.

Okay?

So the insurance company Metcalf

hired a private investigator,

some former firefighter from Indianapolis.

I mean, that's not uncommon.

Insurance companies use ex-firefighters all the time.

Yeah I know, but this guy marked it down as suspicious.

And?

That works great for the insurance company

because they don't have to pay anything out,
