As the lead paramedic heading up the crew on Ambulance 61 (generally referred to

simply as ‘the ambo’) Brett has shown herself to be a highly competent medical professional

as well as a dependable colleague and sympathetic presence for the rest of the team

at Firehouse 51. Her generally sunny disposition and appealing sense of humor also make her a favorite with fans of this hugely popular One Chicago series. Sliding behind the wheel of her vehicle and racing into action in response to everything from high-rise blazes to mass casualty vehicle accidents, toxic chemical spills, train derailments, and more, Brett has put more than a few miles on Ambulance 61 during her 180-plus episodes on the series (per IMDb).

So, considering her veteran high-mileage status, it’s perhaps no surprise Killmer thinks she’s earned her stunt-driver stripes on the show. Killmer is proud of her time spent driving the ambo on Chicago Fire Queried about the stunts seen on the series during a One Chicago roundtable interview, Killmer and “Chicago Fire” co-stars Miranda Ray Mayo and Hanako Greensmith all had stories to tell about their varied experiences.

For her part, Killmer noted, “I have been driving the ambo now for eight years.” At this point, Greensmith, who plays Paramedic Violet Mikami on the show, interjected, “And she whips it!” Killmer then went on to say, “I do drive slightly dangerously,” which led to her comment that “I feel like I should become an honorary stunt driver. Just gonna put that out there.” So while she may not have met all the requirements to qualify as a pro in the field as detailed at CBT Stunt Alliance, Killmer’s lengthy career as a TV-ambo-pilot on “Chicago Fire” likely does make her, at least informally, a member of the honorary stunt driver club.
