Haven’t we learned anything about the danger of elevators when there’s a fire?
Chicago Fire Season 9 Episode 5, “My Lucky Day,” promises to be a shocking and intense episode, with Herrmann and Cruz trapped in a freight elevator with no way to communicate to the outside world.
It isn’t just that they’re trapped, it’s that the elevator is unstable. “If we fall again, we fall all the way,” Cruz says in the promo video. I don’t know about you, but this one makes me nervous.
Check out the photos and promo video below for a preview of this episode, which airs Wednesday, February 3rd at 9/8c on NBC.
Episode description: When Firehouse 51 is called to the scene of a dangerous blaze inside a 10-story storage unit, Herrmann and Cruz find themselves trapped inside a freight elevator with all communications cut off.
