Find how "Chicago Fire" is actually filmed..!


NBC's 'Chicago Fire' Films Downtown, Rerouting Wacker Drive Traffi

LOOP — The south side of eastbound Wacker Drive between Franklin and Wells streets was closed Tuesday to make room for a firetruck, parked in the right lane for a shooting of NBC's "Chicago Fire."

Mitch Stryck, 47, who works nearby at 222 N. LaSalle, said his office distributed notices warning employees that parking would be restricted for the show's filming. He told DNAinfo.com Chicago that he watched the first episode and liked the show, partly because of its location....

A Cop's poster?

Scribble is found on the poster at the bus stop.. .
 (it seems like.. either, a cop or a firefighter)




..  a scribble is read,  "HA-LOW, SOUL?"

  The  blue arrow under the letters..points at his left eye ..
  - the eye appeared cunning to someone, who does not feel ..sympathized with the officer?...

  .


  ..the ad copy is:  "Real first responders don't have blanks fired at them.
  To help the families of fallen police officers and firefighters, visit 100clubchicago.com"


This guy may rather be a firefighter,
because this poster appeared.. some two weeks after the tragedy.. :
 the old Chicago fire department captain Herbert Johnson was killed in a fire..

..A 32-year veteran of fire department died on the South Side blaze..
