ABOUT CHICAGO FIRE
"Chicago Fire" - an edge-of-your-seat view into the lives of everyday heroes committed to one of America's noblest professions. The firefighters, rescue squad and paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51 risk their lives week in and week out to save and protect the citizens of their incredible city. With big reputations and hefty egos, the pressure to perform and the adrenaline rush of the job is bound to have an effect on these modern heroes. Friendship, rivalry, marriage, divorce, fighting, hidden romance -- sometimes it's hard to keep it totally professional. When it's "go-time," though, they put their differences aside and put everything on the line for each other.

Herman is the heart of that house. He is the one that they all go to for advice, the one that keeps them going, the one they all look to when things are bad. He deserves this.

[@BassmanII]

And I believe that Boden swallowed his pride after his conversation with Hermann, because Boden was not looking to undermine Gorsch, although it was a fringe benefit there, he was looking long term into the well being of Station 51. And Hermann is the best man for the job.

[@stephenjacob4782]

Yessireee

[@amandabilger2235]

I agree with you on that but unfortunately I don't think Gorsch sees it that way. He most likely thinks that Boden did it just to spite him. That is the way that people like him think, it is always all about them.

[@AlexTheOilersFan]

He's the beating heart of 51

[@IWantToMature85]

I hope that he survives.

[@joc_tamai]

Finally, after all that he's done, Herman gets the recognition he deserves Damn it's easy to forget it's a show, you get so attached to these characters Don't even get me started on Otis...

I love how chief boden is fighting these battles behind the scenes that his crew doesnt really know about and at the same time taking care of his firehouse family. ❤ Thats true family.

[@hammerbro1947]

A true leader is someone who looks after those that help run the house and cares for their health and mind. Same goes with Voight's intelligence team, though off the books of course, but Voight showed that he cared, especially reprimanding Jay after he almost died disobeying a direct order, and helping Antonio in getting through his drug addiction. Those kinds of leaders who value not just themselves but also others, that I respect in real life. There are many out there that don't have these traits, but there are a few out there that do.

Eeyup.

[@Bryan-pw1rw]

From the moment there was talk of needing to find a new Lieutenant I kept yelling at the screen "HERMANN!"

[@KC-hg8zz]

lmao

[@mxgirl918]

Herrmann is always so optimistic even when he knows the odds are zero. I remember when Borrelli had to fight Gabby's bro and Herrmann was still cheering him on when Cruz and co were like "Borrelli's gonna die" 😂

[@deeelise3440]

Lol I loved how Gabby punched Hermann in the face , lol I loved that episode but poor Hermann, didn't realize how good she was lol

[@MrSailmakers]

Yeah but Borelli was facing Antonio… come on … that was a lost match either way 😂. But yeah Herman’s part of the soul of Firehouse 51

[@Gamerafighter76]

@@MrSailmakershe’s the heart of 51.

[@alexgrant191]

Amazed at the lack of understanding in this comments section. Hermann gets promoted to Lieutenant of Engine 51 yet a number of people seem to think this means he is leaving the show or that Casey is leaving the show. For those who are confused Firehouse 51 is made up of four rigs. Truck 81 led by Captain Matt Casey, Squad 3 led by Lieutenant Kelly Severide, Ambulance 61 led by PIC Sylvie Brett & Engine 51 now led by Lieutenant Christopher Hermann

[@waydeanderson5226]

I’m glad Engine 51 isn’t going to be just a background crew/truck now they’re actually including them in the show

[@BassmanII]

You read my mind there.

[@Gamerboy-gy1rl]

@To Release is To Resolve they show it plenty of times

[@Gamerboy-gy1rl]

[@betty3326]

Gorsch has a huge eģo. It was awesome that Boden didn't let Gorsch bully him into promoting his choice. Hermann will be a great role model for the future fire fighters

[@Gamerafighter76]

Just a desk jockey with no real experience of being a fire fighter; all he was, was just some lapdog.

[@djnation408]

I jumped with joy when Boden said Herman's name, he definitely deserved to be called lieutenant.

[@DemetriusConley]

Hermann deserves that promotion. Its about damn time! Congrats!!! 😁

[@Ghostwriter14]

Loved this scene. Cindy's so happy for her man. This is what you call a checkmate. :D

[@miss.tgamer3252]

FINALLY Herman finally gets a promotion he deserves it so much more than any other firefighter

[@Telepathy97]

One of my favorite scenes of this show. I love Hermann’s character so much and seeing him get the promotion/recognition he deserves made me so happy.

[@nyranon]

Out of all the characters on the show, Herman has always been my #1 favorite character as well as my fiancé's favorite.

[@marikatemoore5110]

Anything people learn in the end is don't mess with Wallace Boden. He runs a clean house and is the embodiment of a firefighter who tows the line and committed to the city

[@MomoXAnn]

“I thank you for you ‘suggestion’,” chief Boden is a badass!!!

[@samanthaf3606]

Best moment ever! At least for me, since my girl Gabby left. Long coming but Herman sure deserves it. Congrats to such a wonderful character. Heart beat of house 51

Hermann Deserves it and is the true definition of a leader!! Just love how he busts every newbies’ balls just to make them mentally and physically stronger and watch them succeed, I even heard that from my Fire Captain and another experienced guy in my volunteer department as well, everyone busts balls at my firehouse!!
