Chicago Fire fans, get ready—because a familiar face is making a fiery comeback! After nearly a year away from the frontlines, Wallace Boden, the beloved former chief of Firehouse 51, is set to return in an emotionally charged episode titled “Post-Mortem,” airing April 16 on NBC.
Once the heart and soul of Firehouse 51, Boden (played by the incredible Eamonn Walker) now serves as Deputy Commissioner of the Chicago Fire Department. But duty calls in a personal way when tragedy strikes the station he once led. A building collapse claims the lives of first responders, pulling Boden back into the heart of the firehouse for an intense internal investigation.
💬 “When Boden walks through those doors again, it’s not just business—it’s family,” teased showrunner Andrea Newman in a recent interview. “His presence brings a sense of grounding, but also uncovers hidden tensions within the team.”
His return isn’t just symbolic—it marks a turning point in the season. Tensions with Firehouse 51’s new commanding officer Dom Pascal (played by Dermot Mulroney) have been building, and Boden’s involvement may either calm the flames or ignite something bigger.
Fans can expect powerful scenes, emotional reunions, and maybe even some unexpected decisions that will shape the future of Firehouse 51.
Don’t miss it.
When Boden’s back, things heat up—fast. 🔥
