Chicago Fire Season 14 full episode release schedule explained
Chicago Fire Season 14 is out, and with the return of the main old characters, the new chapter also welcomed a new firefighter, Sal Vasquez. His arrival will surely impact the dynamics at Firehouse 51, and it would be intriguing to watch if Sal manages to bond with the team.
