sheepderp 61 touching

That was so sad

I’m still crying....

💔💔💔

Yes! 💯💯💯

Same

Me too

Me too:(

Same

Yes this is just TV show ,but the sentence is very true and powerful

Same here! Firefighter also, but this got me in the feels too.

I think the reason why its so deeply emotional is because it's basis is in reality. Firefighters are actually fighting against death and sometimes they really do die. We also know that there is an assumption that there is a camaraderie between firefighters that serves to keep them safe. A bond of brothers and sister in arms.

Bella Rayne Right? You just unexpectedly gave me another reason on why I love the shows of Chicago Med and Fire and P.D. so damn very much. Part of what you said is so true, that a lot of doctors and nurses and paramedics and firefighters and cops, are doing all they can to keep us safe and protected, especially right now with the pandemic of the coronavirus among all of us all over the country and the rest of the world, dealing with this pandemic as well, and I cannot imagine anyone losing a doctor or a nurse or a paramedic or a firefighter or a cop, because that particular doctor nurse paramedic firefighter or police officer, could either be at a family member or a friend, like a best friend or a close friend or a really good friend or a family friend, that any of them could probably know that they could die doing their jobs to keep everybody else safe, especially during this hard and tough time with the pandemic of the coronavirus all over the United States and the rest of the world, that even though this show is based here in America, Boden makes a really good point, by asking all of his fellow paramedics and firefighters, a very important and very powerful question, and that very particular and very specific question is, who will remember all that he and his firefighters have done for Chicago, once they are gone? I also think that question applies to, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, doctors, nurses, and cops, that I think a lot of them ask themselves that question at one point or another, who will remember their work, after they are gone, meaning like, who will remember all that they have done to save other peoples lives, and catch criminals and put the criminals behind bars like in jail, like serving their communities, and make sure everybody around them is safe and protected, after they either quit or retire, or unfortunately die, while trying to do their jobs, seriously, who is going to remember what either he or she has or will have done to keep people and communities safe? Now I realize that this question doesn’t just apply, to any paramedic or doctor or nurse or firefighter or cop, I think it applies to anyone, who might begin to ask themselves this question at one moment or another, as I think that we all ask ourselves that question every day. I mean, whatever happens next, what do you think about this question that we may begin to ask ourselves at one moment or another?

Firefighter here I feel the same way

Cyndi Mcgonigal Agreed. But from my perspective, nothing will ever be worst than when they killed off Laurel Lance in Arrow.

The show isnt the same even with shay, Dawson and mills... RIP Chicago fire

Sascha I think it would be fair to say that even one cast change can mean a lot of differences.

You are damn right it wont

Me to

Tammy Goulet Schrader His character was phenomenal. When they opened Otis’ shirt in the ambo & Cruz fell backwards, I said uh-oh. His burns looked like he was going to be the firefighter down. And Cruz at the dedication.............😥😥😥

I still remember when that actor got stuck on an elevator in real life here in Chicago and had to be rescued by fire fighters lol

@@robertpreston2220 LOOOOOL is that true?? :D

@@janeryan2709 Yeah it was on the news here. This was like a year or so ago. it was cool though. The actor had fun with it and the fire fighters did too

Yes he did!!!!

he was also a navy seal along side Bruce Willis. fuckin titan of an actor

He also played a Muslim character on a show, but I can't remember the name of it now

He was a firefighter n was a great one

Yes… He is my absolute favorite along with Hank Voight too. Two tough men and play the hell out of their role. ❤

Both wonderful leader who dont play games it is amazing to watch it

True

This scene was hard to watch cause ottis was joes brother and best friend and the way he died was sad. No one can replace him

It still hits hard

So true. Now that’s what I call honouring the fallen who risk their lives to save others. Farewell Brian “Otis” Zvonecek, you will be missed.

Yes

Брат, я буду с тобой всегда (Russian - romanized Brat, ya budu s toboy vsegda); in Ukrainian: Брат, я буду завжди з тобою (romanized: Brat, ya budu zavzhdy z toboyu) no more powerful words ever...especially when spoken among "brothers" - militar, first responders, police and firefighter....Otis' character should have been Ukrainian the guys from the house in the Ukrainian village should have come and brought a patch from the fire company in Chernobyl Oblast that was worn by the firefighters who ran into Reactor 7...then they all shake hands and say to each other Brat, ya budu zavzhdy z toboyu!....

@@ukrainiansniper5916 been looking for this. Thank you

True! 😪🦋❤

Yes

Antrease Robinson Same here and I never cry at TV shows I was really close

same

Yes, the actor who plays Cruz did such a fantastic job.

Yeah...imagine losing mouch or hermann.

I just love his integrity and objectivity.

hi my name is johnny

Same he said on his Instagram that it was time to leave the show

No Otis die if you don't believe it for reals watch the episode again and againokay Otis was my favorite Chicago fire don't judge me

@Aidan Reynolds which episode that he die

He dies when he in the fire and the pin pops and it doesn’t show the explosion. It was the last episode and now the new episode shows him gone and he will be forever loved

blackninja season 8 episode 1, the follow up to the season 7 cliff hanger

Where was his girlfriend at? They couldnt bring her back for this episode we were shocked!

Poxaa estar em inglês e eu não entendo

Indeed it was, Joe Minoso was incredible during the last scene.

JB0071051982 Actually the entire episode. His emotional reaction in the ambo when Otis’ shirt was removed & we saw his burns. It’s a wonder he didn’t have a heart attack. It was a absolute gut wrenching scene.

I was too. Absolutely perfect way to pay respect to Brian. I'd take a knee for a fallen officer and any service member anyday

Chief knows exactly what to say,when you need to hear a word from Heaven. But Otis will be miss.😭🙏

eevee in a teacup So true and I could not stop crying for the rest either. Otis MAY U REST IN PEACE AND WATCH OVER THE FIRE HOUSE. U Will Never ever be forgotten. RIP Otis 💯❤️😭

Britt left fast or she got hurt n cannt be there? Cruz ganna be alone at the apartment Britt move out n ortis died.

catracha V. She got hurt, three months later she gets the same job she a did have at Firehouse 51 at a different Fire Station. Otis is gone. New replacement shows up turns out that he is a model. She runs into an old college friend. A monument is placed out of the Fire House in horror of Otis.

Which video was it ????

R.I.P Otis

I couldn't hold the tears in anymore at 1:55

Same here brother, my Dad was on the job for 37 years. This was life when I was growing up.

Yes acknowledging but puzzled as well in the moment until Boden gave us the translation that brought us all to tears… God I love Chicago Fire!!”

Yes Indeed. Derek Haas ripped all of our hearts out. Wasn't expecting Otis.

Tammy Goulet Schrader Join the club, was stunned it was Otis. The opening had me crying, especially watching Cruz’s reaction to Otis’ dying & then the dedication of the monument finished me off. It was absolutely gut wrenching.

I agree. Especially when Casey says "I lost a firefighter that day, I'll never be clear" it shows what a true leader he is despite being cleared of all wrongdoing.

if hermann dies , i leave the show

Took me about twenty minutes just to stop crying😭😭😭

Only b cause I'm crying so much

It's 3am 1/13/23 and I'm still crying 😭😭😭😭

.

Joy Mechell and what’s wrong with that? LOL

Naturally! Jesse and Taylor are the show leads

Agreed

That Escalated obviously I don’t like it 😂 I don’t like character immunity especially when it’s based solely on looks and popularity. Casey isn’t all that interesting of a character and Severide being a little eye candy isn’t what makes the show . It’s always the truck guys that have to be the ones who are up on the chopping block. The paramedics have changed so much there’s no longer an original ... let that sink in .

Joy Mechell this comment did not age well😂

Meh, Gabby is better off gone, but Shae's death was heartbreaking, I agree

@@gabs_salem- When Shay died, Severide was the most affected by the death. His best friend died, and he didn’t want to lose another friend.

I agree completely.

This is beautiful

@@jesscam9314 thank them for their service - (from Toronto)

I didn't know any real firefighters until I started to work these shows. They really put themselves out there to help and protect others. They are truly heroes. Thank your dad for his service!

Спасибо, брат .... когда бойцы Чернобыльской пожарной роты врезались в реактор № 4, там не было ни русских, ни украинцев, были только пожарные .... пытались спасти жизни ... Слава героям Чернобыля

Episode?

@@branicka4758 Season 7, last episode. Or season 8, ep. 1 where Brian's death occurred.

I miss otis why did they kick him off of the show why why oh why otis.

I agree, Otis was an easy character to route for. The episode Two Families was the first episode that I saw of Chicago Fire(at the time it premiered, I was a college senior so tv watching during the week was a rare thing). I really enjoyed Otis recording interviews for the podcast, especially him saying what he was thankful for at the end. Co-creator Derek Hass even said that writing the death of Otis was pretty tough, since he and actor Yuri Sardarov( Otis) had worked on a movie together years earlier. However, he felt it was time to re-enforce just how dangerous being a firefighter is and hence someone had to die.

I agree

Oooh! I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm sure it was hard as hell to watch this episode. Prayers and love to your late best friend and to you! 💙🕊

Salma Al-Husami thanks man and it was very hard to watch and not have the memories of what happened

Your welcome! Of course, such a scene will trigger the memories. P.S: I'm a woman.

Salma Al-Husami sorry didn’t realise my bad and yeah many Chicago scenes have triggered memories of calls I have been on

@@lachlanschulz4675 It's alright! I hope not all the memories that have been triggered were bad or painful. I'm sure the series had some moments of joy for you! :)
