Caitlin Carver Reflects on Her Standout Role in Chicago Fire Season 10
Caitlin Carver is stepping into the world of Chicago Fire as a new paramedic, and the actress is already reflecting on how her debut role has made a lasting impression. Playing Emma, a fresh face in Firehouse 51’s medical team, Carver described her experience on the show as both exhilarating and formative — a moment in her career that she says will shape the opportunities ahead.
Appearing in Season 10, Carver’s character joins the ranks of Firehouse 51’s storied medics, a legacy that includes fan favorites like Leslie Shay, Gabby Dawson, Peter Mills, and Emily Foster. “It’s an incredible honor to step into a show that has such a deep history,” Carver told the press. “You can feel the energy on set, and the team is so welcoming. Being part of that legacy in Season 10 is really special — it’s like being handed the torch for the next chapter.”
Carver’s debut comes at a pivotal moment for the series. The milestone 200th episode marked the departure of longtime Captain Matthew Casey, leaving a void in the firehouse and opening the door for new characters like Emma to shine. “Season 10 was such a turning point,” Carver said. “It was exciting to come in when the story was evolving, when change was in the air. That gave Emma a chance to leave a mark and to connect with fans in her own way.”
Working alongside established cast members like Sylvie Brett and Violet Mikami, Carver emphasized the mentorship and camaraderie she found on set. “They made me feel part of the family right away,” she shared. “It’s rare to step into a show with such a strong ensemble and feel like you belong from day one. That support made it possible for me to give Emma her full story and her moments to shine.”
Carver also reflected on how this role is shaping her own professional journey. “Season 10 was more than just another role — it was a launching point,” she explained. “It reminded me why I became an actress: to tell meaningful stories and bring characters to life that resonate. That experience has given me confidence and momentum for the projects I hope to take on next.”
For fans of the series, Emma represents the future of Firehouse 51’s medical team — a bridge between the show’s rich past and its evolving storyline. And for Carver, her Season 10 debut is already a career milestone, one she describes as both humbling and inspiring.
“I’ll always remember Season 10,” Carver said. “It was a bright spot for me — a chance to grow, connect with an amazing cast, and be part of something that so many people love. I’m excited for what’s next, but this role will always have a special place in my heart.”
Caitlin Carver’s time on Chicago Fire may have just begun, but her performance in Season 10 already stands out as a defining moment — one that promises to illuminate the next steps of her career.
