Chicago Fire has some big changes coming in Season 13. One of the biggest is the news that Eamonn Walker is stepping down from a main role into a recurring one in the series. To accomplish this, his character, Wallace Boden, stepped down as the Chief of Firehouse 51. While many fans thought they knew who would take over, it won’t happen.
Here is who the show replaced Boden with and why it wasn’t Christopher Herrmann.
Who Is The New Chief On Chicago Fire?
When Eamonn Walker announced he was stepping back from his acting role on Chicago Fire, many fans wondered who would replace him as the Chief. Most assumed the job would go to Senior Firefighter Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg). That is not what will happen when the new season begins.
