Firehouse 51 is shaken up by the arrival of new chief Dom Pascal, following the departure of Wallace Boden. The leader's abrupt methods destabilize the team as they navigate numerous crises, including a major disaster and the tragic loss of Monica Pascal, his wife. Severide and Kidd consider adoption, Violet gains more responsibility, and the group's solidarity is tested between dramas, investigations, and new challenges.

Firehouse 51 is pushed into crisis by chronic understaffing, budget cuts, and politically driven restructuring. City “brownouts” take rigs and entire houses offline with little warning, forcing 51 to cover more ground with fewer resources and longer, more dangerous shifts. These pressures expose cracks across the department, from delayed police and EMS responses to exhaustion-related accidents, including a serious ambulance crash that highlights the human cost of relentless call volume. Leadership tensions rise as City Hall quietly advances battalion consolidations, placing increased responsibility on company officers and reshaping command structures within the CFD.
