Production

The series pilot, co-written by creators Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, was filmed in Chicago and, according to an NBC representative, the series will continue to be filmed there.[29] Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel made an appearance in the series' pilot episode. Emanuel stated: "It's easier being mayor than playing mayor. I told them I'd do it under one condition: the TV show is making an investment to the Firefighters' Widows and Orphans Fund."[30]

The network placed an order for the series in May 2012.[31] After receiving an additional script order in October, Chicago Fire was picked up for a full season on November 8, 2012.[32][33] On January 29, 2013, Chicago Fire had its episode total increased from 22 to 23.[34] One week later, on February 6, 2013, Chicago Fire received one more episode, giving it a total of 24 episodes for season one.[35]

The firehouse shown is Engine 18's quarters, located at 1360 S. Blue Island Ave. between 13th & Racine. Housed here is ALS Engine 18, 2-2-1 (Deputy District Chief - 1st District), 4-5-7 (Paramedic Field Chief - EMS District 7), 6-4-16 (High-Rise Response Unit), and BLS Ambulance 84.
