Chicago Fire

A Volatile Mixture - S7-E5

Factual error: In the scene at O'Hara airport the paramedics meetup with a TSA officer. The TSA officer has a gun as a part of his uniform. TSA officers do not carry firearms. In addition, the CBP officer in the scene does not have on a proper CBP uniform. The CBP officer uniform has rank epaulets and officer has no epaulets, and the CBP uniform doesn't have a bar tie clip and the gun belt buckle is brass not stainless metal. (00:42:00)

Real Never Waits - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: When Jeff Clarke comes by the firehouse, Hermann wants to hug him but Clarke says "I don't really like people touching me." But throughout season 2 Clarke has hugged other fellow firefigthers (Cruz among others) with no problem.

Apologies Are Dangerous - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When driving to their first call that shift (guy stuck between cars), Truck 81 is seen arriving at the scene while it should be still being repaired. When they arrive back at the firehouse, the truck they drive carries the number of the exchange truck they've got (E-..).

Infection, Part I - S8-E4

Trivia: Casey is playing catch with a football at a Chicago Bears game. Casey throws the football is back underhand like it's a rugby ball and not the American way overhead. Casey is played by Jesse Gordon Spencer who is an Australian actor, so that's why he threw the football like it was rugby ball. (00:01:07)

Red Flag - S12-E7

Question: With the fire in the house, they opened up the walls and the ceiling. Why would they do that? Wouldn't that give the fire more oxygen?

Answer: Internet sources give many reasons why firefighters do this, but in regards to your question, it's probably because opening walls and ceilings creates better ventilation which allows heat and smoke to escape, giving firefighters better visibility and lowering the temperature.

Category 5 - S3-E22

Question: When the team drove away from the scene of the truck fire after Severide stopped it from rolling with a fire extinguisher, everyone is staring out the windows and the atmosphere has a quietly melancholic atmosphere. Why is that?
