Are fans allowed to attending filming?
ReplyDeleteAre fans of the show allowed to attend filming locations ?
DeleteHi, I believe fans are allowed to be there. Some shows don't allow it but I think this show does. Go to On Location Vacations to see day by day filming locations and try to go out there.
DeleteEverytime I hear about filming of the series i miss out all the time
DeleteSo happy I live in Chicago!!! I'm definetly going to a filming!
ReplyDeleteAny idea where they film scenes from Molly's? Great sight!!
ReplyDeletehttp://lottiespub.com/
DeleteThe interiors were originally filmed at Lotti's, but they recreated it at the West Side studio, because one scene was involved setting the bar on fire.
Deletewhat police station do they film at when showing the police?
ReplyDeleteThe old CPD 12th district station, Racine and Monroe.
ReplyDeleteWhat building was the old 12th at? Or i should say used
DeleteThe Fire house is two blocks south of Roosevelt Rd. on Blue Island Ave. and very close to The University of Illinois at Chicago campus.
ReplyDeleteThat's the the fire station where my brother is working for.
ReplyDeleteI like the show Chicago Fire. Is there any way that the music could be toned down so the script can be heard /understood? Without knowing the story what good is tuning in to the show?
ReplyDeleteHello, I am not sure how to help you. I am not part of the production of the show. Maybe change your tv to mono instead of stereo that may help. I agree that a lot of movies and television shows don't have consistent audio because of surround sound.
DeleteDo they film at a running fire station? Like is this fire station up and running or is it shut down?
ReplyDeleteHello, yes it is a working fire station. The real firemen that are there were very nice to me when I stopped by and took my pictures. I did that very early in the series so not sure how receptive they are these days since the popularity is taking off.
DeletePlace was completely empty yesterday.
DeleteI have to agree with everything in this post. Thanks for the useful information.fire
ReplyDeleteGirls wkd in Chicago for 4 Texas girls coming up in December. I think we will be stopping by! I hope they don't mind!
ReplyDeleteIs the house they film Chicago Fire a really house and if so were is it
ReplyDeleteI pass by there everyday when I come home from work. I live so close, I see them filming all the time. Their first show ever was filmed at my job. :D
ReplyDeleteThey don't allow visitors during filming anymore.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if they are filming in Chicago this week and when and location?
ReplyDeleteAre they still filming the current season?
ReplyDeleteYes. Probably until April
ReplyDeleteI heard that they didn't want to film in Chicago anymore because of our weather. Is there any truth to them moving out of Chicago?
ReplyDeleteHi, I have not heard anything like that happening. If they really are not happy with the weather they can film earlier in the season and make up for lost time. The studio is getting more popular all the time so I doubt they are going to leave.
DeleteNope not true as NBC has said this " the series will continue to be filmed there."
DeleteActually, NBC said,"We will soon be moving to New York after this season is over, for our new show, New York Fire Department "
DeleteWhen they are not filming at the fire house they are at a stag do you know the address for that?
ReplyDeleteDo you know the time frame of when they film their season? so for example from April to October. I want to visit there and try and get there when they are actually filming the show.
ReplyDeleteIve heard of people sending gifts to the set of shows, like Mark Harmon, ncis, gets a lot of usmc stuff from fans. Can we send to the CF set?

ReplyDeleteMovies have been the source of entertainment from time unmemorable. These days we consider watching movies as a family bonding time.
ReplyDeleteHI,
ReplyDeleteI have a question. Are the trucks in serial the same as in real ? I ask because I see here
http://chicagoareafire.com/Div_9_D1_B3_18.html
that Fire Brigade/ Batalion 4th from Firehouse wherein series is filmed don't own either Engine 51 (but Engine 18) or Truck 81 (they have not it) or Ambulance 61 (but Ambulance 84) or Battalion car same as in TV series.
So i would ask you where are the trucks ? Are they old trucks not being in use ?
I can't understand how the episodes are filmed because in this firehouse 24/7 some live in the building, firefighters normally work so where are real trucks when the scenes are filming ?
I know that some question are strange but it interests me.
Thank you in advance for your answers
Cheers
Michal
Hi thanks for the question. I am really not sure on that answer. When I was there taking pictures early on in the series I noticed there were alternate trucks inside. The second time they had the tv fire trucks in the garage.
DeleteThe city closes the station for filming so while the crew is filming they don't have to worry about that problem.
DeleteIS CHICAGO FIRE FILMING ANYWHERE THIS WEEK AROUND TOWN,
ReplyDeleteWHERE CAN I FIND CHICAGO FIRE SOUVENIRS
No they are done until August.
ReplyDeleteWe watched them film a driving scene in Waukegan. It was pretty cool. I'm not the type who sees actors as anything "special", but my Best Friend enjoys it, so we went. There was a very small group of us just hanging back, mostly talk nerd about all our different DSLR's. We were near their "snack tent" and David Eigenberg came over whilst eating a donut, shook everyone's hand, took photos with us and was down right the nicest guy I have ever met. When he asked how I was doing, I literally felt like he wanted to know how I was doing - "Oh, but he is an actor!", my realist side reminds me. I have met several celebs, and most a were exactly as I expected, this gentleman was not.
ReplyDeleteWe are the active firehouse where Chicago Fire is filmed. Many of the questions asked here can be answered by going to our Facebook page Engine18ChicagoFire. We do allow visitors to tour the firehouse on days the show isn't filming. When filming we run the rigs out of a temp garage behind the firehouse. We also have great Chicago Fire show gear available.
ReplyDeleteWe also have a website. Engine18ChicagoFire.com
DeleteThat is awesome! I am so glad I found this site! I am planning a trip at the beginning of August and we were hoping to check it out! 3 of us are coming form Ontario, Canada & 1 friend is from Michigan!
DeleteHi im coming to Chicago in Early Oct from Australia and im a massive fan of the show. If I come to your house could I see inside and get some pics for my 3 boys that absolutely love your show!! they beg me to stay up late just so they can watch it :) thanks Christy Jasperson
Deleteccjasperson@live.com.au
We're planning on coming to Chicago July 29th thru Aug 8th....Does anyone know if there will be any filming these days and where it might be?
ReplyDeleteHi, the answer is there should be filming as they start back tomorrow. The where part is a different story. Keep an eye on the On Location Vacations site for locations the day of each day.
DeleteThey're filming on May Street off Taylor July 30 around 4pm. Source? I live there. There's fliers up everywhere

ReplyDeleteis it possible to get a tour of the station at all and if so how do we get one?
ReplyDeleteYes you can. Be polite and respectful toward the firehouse and it will allow for others to tour it. It would not be a formal tour but they will show you around.
DeleteI'm from Germany and I will be in Chicago from June 10th to 18th this year. Do anybody know if they still filming at this time? Or will CF end after season 3?
ReplyDeleteThere will be a new season for the show but filming usually starts up again in July. So you will miss out I am sorry to say.
DeleteI will be in Chicago at the end of March this year - so I guess no filming as well?
ReplyDeleteBut it is allowed to visit Engine 18, right?
They should still be filming then.
DeleteThanks for your reply. So I wíll keep my eyes open!
DeleteHello - My boyfriend is a volunteer Firefighter in Wisconsin. I'd love to take a weekend trip and visit station 51. Can we just show up at the fire station and ask for a tour? Is there a number we can call or email address to contact? What do you suggest?
ReplyDeleteYou can show up any time. Bring a gift if you want. If there is no filming you can get a nice tour.
DeleteCan we send a letter for the cast and they will read it? If yes which adress?
ReplyDeleteDid you know that the building used in the show as the firehouse is the real home of Chicago FD's Engine 18, located at 1360 S. Blue Island Avenue at Maxwell Street, between 13th & Racine. Housed here is ALS Engine 18, 2-2-1 (Deputy District Chief - 1st District), 4-5-7 (Paramedic Field Chief - EMS District 7), 6-4-16 (High-Rise Response Unit), and BLS Ambulance 84.
ReplyDeleteDid you know CFD firefighters featured as extras during scenes in the firehouse and real places in the city were often referenced in the characters' dialog. And did you know this Chicago artist and retired firefighter Lee J. Kowalski's oil paintings of fire scenes can be spotted in several episodes.
ReplyDeleteso apperently sometimes in the background you can see some real firefighters that work there.
DeleteAnything filing the first 2 weeks of April?
ReplyDeleteAlso, is mollys really?

ReplyDeleteHello, I work at a church in the city of Chicago. We have a property that we are no longer using and looking at tearing it down. Before we do that we were wondering if maybe you would like to use it in one of your filming shoots. Please let me know who I should contact to give details about the property and what not. Let me know as soon as you can please.
ReplyDeleteHi, I have nothing to do with the production of the show. I just watch the episodes and find the filming locations and post where they are. Go to Twitter and follow "Filming In Chicago". See if the may get your message to a person from the location department. Good luck.

ReplyDeleteI'm a cop from England and over here there's a pretty big rivalry between police and firefighters! even so I've been hooked on Chicago fire it's an awesome show, would be pretty cool to take a look around the fire house someday and see how it's done across the water.
ReplyDeleteThanks

ReplyDeleteIf there is going to be filming in your neighborhood, the city will post signs banning parking. I don't remember if they state which show. I've seen them posted twice around the corner from my house, they were for two of the Fire and PD. I even had a notice posted on my front door to call some Illinois department if I was interested in them using it for one of these shows, but I never followed up,because my handicapped sister was living on the first floor.
ReplyDeleteAnyone would have any guess where kellys jacket black looking like leather , with two zippers in front is from, what company? From season 9 episode 6, when he was talking to stella, in the house , when they got into a fight
