Chicago Fire, Previews

Following the tragic death of his wife, Dom Pascal is determined to get justice on Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 16, “In the Rubble.” From the looks of the promo video, he’s spiraling, making rash decisions, and losing his temper.

As Pascal’s behavior grows more erratic, the rest of the firefighters at 51 become worried about whether or not he can continue to lead the firehouse. “If he keeps showing up to work like that,” Herrmann says in the promo video, “What do we do?”
