Chicago Fire’s summer hiatus is over, and new episodes of NBC’s hit firefighter drama are returning tonight. Keep reading to find out everything to know about Season 14, including the start time, how to watch and what to expect from the action-packed premiere.

Season 14 continues after the Season 13 finale, where Firehouse 51’s new leader, Dom Pascal, was cleared of attempted murder charges related to his wife’s death, thanks to Severide’s help. Severide and Stella are now expecting a baby of their own after considering adoption.

Veteran firefighters Mouch and Christopher Herrmann grappled with major career decisions, with Herrmann declining the lieutenant position so Mouch could take it. The finale also revealed that two crew members would be leaving. Sam Carver is departing for Denver to focus on his sobriety, while Darren Ritter is also saying farewell, and viewers will see Ritter’s final appearances in the upcoming season.
