Chicago Fire fans are in for a treat! Taylor Kinney, who has portrayed Kelly Severide since the show’s first episode, recently shared a playful behind-the-scenes moment from Season 14 that had fans laughing.

In an August 2025 Instagram video, Kinney was seen in the front seat of a firetruck. Just as the truck’s horn blared, Severide made a hilariously exaggerated face, breaking the tension and giving fans a glimpse of the lighter side of Firehouse 51.

The caption read:
“Severide. Squad. All in sync for Season 14 #ChicagoFire”

Fans responded enthusiastically, enjoying the chance to see their favorite firefighter being silly off-camera.

Kinney Reflects on Firehouse 51 and Chicago

Kinney shared his love for the city and the show in interviews:

“This is home. Times have changed, and the city has changed, and people have grown … The city has been good to me. I love the city. I’ve gotten to know it through my work.”

He also expressed gratitude for being part of a long-running series:

“It’s never lost on me how special it is to be a part of something with the longevity this has. It’s a testament to Dick Wolf and the team of people he puts together.”
