“Our 51 guys are first on the scene of this explosion that has rocked the city,” Chicago Fire showrunner Andrea Newman tells Parade. “They’re there to take over the scene and try and get people out of danger. The stakes just keep rising, and the danger just keeps growing. We have to try and wrangle it as best we can, get people safe and get out this fire, and try and stop this massive collapse from happening.”
The special effects on the episode are quite spectacular from start to finish, movie-worthy, actually. And to make it happen, a little extra was put into the budget to give the team a little more to play with.
“We have the most amazing group of special effects people on the planet led by John Milinac,” Newman explains. “He created this fire geyser. We don’t do the vis effects; we don’t add it in post. This was a real fire geyser on the streets of Chicago that was three or four stories high. It was insane. When we had drone shots, they had to move around it because the drones started to melt because the fire was so hot and so high.”

“There’s a lot of casualties from that incident. And the ones that are still alive end up being rushed to Med,” Chicago Med showrunner Allen MacDonald tells Parade. “There is a bit of a mystery played out of what really happened behind the scenes, was this an accident? Was it not an accident? There’s a little suspicion that it may not have been, and when the P.D. characters specifically are exploring that, they’re asking questions of everybody, and they're trying to interview victims at the hospital. And so a lot of the survivors from the explosion end up in the hospital.”

“For example, P.D. showrunner Gwen Sigan along with Joe Halpin," he explained, "and went through it and would say, ‘We think that [Hank Voight] would actually say it this way.’ All the shows did that to the other two shows. They all worked together.”

“It all depends on how well it does and how it’s received,” MacDonald says. “I know I’m incredibly proud of the three-hour crossover and I think everyone in the #OneChicago world feels that way. As far as it happening every year, it’s a pretty big thing to pull off. I think in success you can anticipate another one coming up quicker than five years. I don’t know if it’ll be next season but maybe not long after that.”
