Tune in alert for NBC's newest drama, "Chicago Fire."

When the squad members of Chicago Firehouse 51 lose one of their own, there is more than enough guilt and blame to go around.

With a bit of a 'Rescue Me' vibe percolating, the premise sees Lt. Matthew Casey, who is dealing with a divorce, tries to move past the loss but can't help being at odds with the Rescue Squad's Lt. Kelly Severide, because the two blame each other for what happened to their fallen friend.

Regardless of personal tension, when it's time to face the job, all the team members quickly put their issues aside and their lives on the line one another. 

NBC caught up with the cast to discuss their passion for the show, how the characters they play are different from their off camera personas and…how much they love filming in Chi-town.
