Looks Like ‘Chicago Fire’s New Chief in Season 13 Won’t Be Herrmann After All

Firehouse 51 welcomes a new chief from Miami, Dom Pascal, replacing Boden in Season 13.

Chicago Fire explores the lives of firefighters and paramedics in Chicago.

Eamonn Walker’s character left the firehouse after a promotion within the CFD organization.

Going into Season 13, another new face will be in Firehouse 51. According to Deadline, Chicago Fire has decided to bring in someone new instead of promoting one of the existing senior firehouse members to the position previously held by Boden. After Eamonn Walker left his series regular duties, the character was promoted to a higher position in the CFD, which saw him leave his long-time residence at the firehouse. Chicago Fire will reportedly bring in a new chief from Miami, whose name is Dom Pascal, but could change later. The character has not been cast yet, with production currently looking for someone to bring them to life.

Like his successor, the character will be male with a lot of experience working in firefighting. Dom started his career in the CFD, but he has been a chief in Miami for the past ten years. He is hailed as someone cheerful who works well under pressure. His qualities are not similar to Boden, and his leadership style is quite different from Boden’s. Where personal lives are concerned, Dom has a similar past to Boden’s, where they are not together with their wives. Boden is divorced, while Dom is estranged from his wife.

Season 12 of Chicago Fire was historic, seeing departures and new arrivals. Several series regulars left at various points in the season, and the show brought in new faces to try to replenish Firehouse 51’s waning staff. Alberto Rosende was the first to leave in the season premiere as he left with his aunt to learn more about his extended family. Soon after, Rome Flynn was brought in to replace Rosende’s character, Gallo. Flynn left after six episodes, and the reason was never revealed. It’s unclear whether the character will return in Season 13, but given that Flynn is set to appear in the upcoming season of Godfather of Harlem in a significant role, it seems unlikely.
