Chicago Fire is back for its 13th season with major changes shaking up the firehouse. The beloved NBC series, known for its high-stakes drama and gripping rescues, is introducing a new chief, portrayed by Dermot Mulroney, following the departure of Chief Wallace Boden from Firehouse 51.
What Happened to Chief Boden on ‘Chicago Fire’?
Longtime fans of Chicago Fire were left wondering about the fate of Chief Wallace Boden (played by Eamonn Walker) as the show enters its 13th season. Boden, a central figure since the show’s inception, has moved on from Firehouse 51 for a higher position in the fire department’s administration. His departure creates a power vacuum, making room for a new leader to step into the station’s top role.

Taking over as the new chief is Chief Tom Pascal, portrayed by Dermot Mulroney. Pascal is described as a “man of mystery” by Chicago Fire showrunner Andrea Newman, adding an intriguing new dynamic to the firehouse. Pascal’s leadership style and motivations are still largely unknown, but Mulroney’s portrayal promises to bring a fresh energy to the team.
“He’s a very different kind of leader from Boden,” Newman explained in an interview with NBC Insider. “We’ll see him clash with some of the firefighters early on, but there’s also this sense that there’s more to him than meets the eye.”
