Chicago Fire Trivia:

Chicago Fire is the first of the "Chicago Franchise" produced by Dick Wolf. It was followed by Chicago P.D., Chicago Med and the short-lived Chicago Justice.

The firefighters and paramedics work from Firehouse 51 of the Chicago Fire Department which houses Truck Company 81, Engine Company 51, Squad Company 3, Ambulance 61, and Battalion 25.

The exterior shots of the firehouse on the series is an actual Chicago firehouse. It is located at 1360 South Blue Island Avenue.

WGN-TV reported that a plane had crashed at 29th and Martin Luther King Drive in November of 2012. Just a few minutes into the report they realized that it was simply a filming location for a Chicago Fire episode.

The scenes in Molly's bar where the firefighters hang out were originally shot at Lotties in Bucktown but in order stop interrupting their normal business the inside and outside of the bar were reproduced at Cinespace Studios.
