Use caution
Chicago Fire follows firefighters and paramedics responding to emergencies with moderate action violence and occasional injuries. Language is generally mild, though some strong words appear. There's minimal sexual content and no graphic horror. The TV-14 rating is appropriate; younger children may find intense rescue scenes disturbing, while older teens should handle it well.

An edge-of-your-seat view into the lives of everyday heroes committed to one of America's noblest professions. For the firefighters, rescue squad and paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51, no occupation is more stressful or dangerous, yet so rewarding and exhilarating. These courageous men and women are among the elite who forge headfirst into danger when everyone else is running the other way and whose actions make the difference between life and death.
