Chicago Fire is looking to fill some roles on its popular series “Chicago Fire”. The series is apart of NBC’s family of shows from executive producer Dick Wolf who brought us the Law & Order franchise. Along with “Chicago PD” and “Chicago Med”, the series “Chicago Fire” has quickly become a fave of the network.  The show is filming in Chicago, IL.

“Chicago Fire” is described by NBC as “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. The pressure to perform on such a high level has a way of taking a personal toll, sometimes putting team members from the Truck and the specially trained Rescue Squad at odds with each other. Despite any differences, this is an extended family, and when it’s “go time,” everyone inside Firehouse 51 knows no other way than to lay it all on the line for each other”.
