House 51 the only firehouse in Chicago???


I thought fire houses are in each district or they are every so many miles.. Seems like House 51 answers calls all over Chicago. like a few episodes ago ambulance 61 went to O'hare airport for a call and they are shown all over Chicago - north, south, etc.. Where is house 51 located?

I was wondering that myself. You rarely see other Ambo teams in attendance too. And how can a House Commander survive so much mud flung at him so often? Sooner or later it all adds up whether the accusations are true or not.

Just like med is apparently the only hospital in the city.

All of which is typical for any show with a regular cast. Unless the producers are willing to run an anthology show with different casts for every episode.

In addition, they are going to want to showcase various areas of the cities they are set in.

All in all, a typical part of the suspension of disbelief required for any fiction story.

Having lived in the Chicago area all my life, I can say that yes that is the only firehouse. Hence the reason that cows keep burning down the whole city.

I recommend opening up another steakhouse or two.
