Brett’s Chicago Fire Season 13 Replacement Finally Resolves Long-Standing Ambo 61 Issue

Firehouse 51 has officially replaced Sylvie Brett, and in the process, solves an overused issue in Ambo 61 when it returns for Chicago Fire season 13. After a particularly tumultuous year that was mired with so many character exits, One Chicago is looking to return to its usual programming when it comes back this fall as part of NBC’s 2024-2025 TV schedule. The Chicago Fire season 12 finale set Firehouse 51 on a different path moving forward, as Chief Wallace Boden leaves the team. Despite him choosing Christopher Hermann as his replacement, NBC and Wolf Entertainment aren’t honoring his wishes.

The change at the top of Firehouse 51 is only one of the uncertainties coming into Chicago Fire season 13. Aside from Chief Boden’s exit, there were other plots in play in the season 12 finale, which included the revelation about Jack Damon’s true identity as Benny Severide’s son, not to mention Sam Carver’s unknown status at Truck 81. Amid all these questions, at least there’s one thing that Chicago Fire fans won’t have to worry about — Brett’s replacement as Violet Mikami’s Ambo 61 partner. Ahead of season 13, One Chicago has found its next paramedic.

Stella Kidd’s confirmed personal narrative in Chicago Fire season 13 has the potential to further make Kelly Severide look like a villain.
