Chicago Fire season 13 premiered on September 25, 2024 and concluded on May 21, 2025 on NBC.

Led by Lt. Kelly Severide, Rescue Squad 3 works closely with Lt. Christopher Herrmann on Engine 51 and Lt. Stella Kidd on Truck 81.

The firehouse is under new leadership with the addition of Battalion Chief Dom Pascal, who has huge shoes to fill after years of guidance under the calming hands of Wallace Boden, who was elevated to Deputy Commissioner. Pascal, who has spent the last decade as Chief in Miami, has a completely different style which may rub some the wrong way. What is clear at the outset are his skills and ability to stay dead calm in the face of crises and his goal remains consistent in keeping the house running smoothly and his firefighters prepared to overcome all adversity that may come their way.

Dedicated Paramedic in Charge Violet Mikami leads ambo 61 and is paired with the adventurous Lyla Novak. Always looking to have fun, it is undeniable that when it is go time, Novak’s skills and abilities are never in question. Seasoned veterans Randall "Mouch" McHolland and Joe Cruz bring years of expertise to the team and strive to go above and beyond the call of duty. Talented Darren Ritter compliments the team, while firefighter Sam Carver battles his own demons and his complicated relationship with the other firefighters within the house.
