This is a list of fictional characters in the television series Chicago Fire. The article deals with the series' main, recurring, and minor characters.
Gabriela "Gabby" Dawson Casey (season 1– ) is one of the few females at Firehouse 51 and was introduced as the Paramedic in Charge of Ambulance 61. Dawson has recently found herself in trouble for leaping before she looks on various calls, which leads to her being written up several times. She was partnered with Leslie Shay for much of the first two seasons and they shared a close friendship. Both were well-liked by the all-male crew at 51, who are all very protective of them. She transfers to Truck 81 in season 3 after passing firefighter training. In season 4, with the announcement of her pregnancy, she was transferred to the Office of Fire Investigation (OFI) to work as an arson investigator.
Off-duty, she runs Molly's, a small bar jointly owned by her, Otis and Herrmann. The bar is also popular with her brother's colleagues from the 21st District and the staff at Chicago Medical Center, whom the paramedics regularly come into contact with. She is usually in charge of the food and beverage aspects, while Otis and Herrmann deal with the business and marketing aspects. Not long after Molly's opens, Dawson befriends Jay, who was a regular customer at Molly's, but breaks up with him after finding out that he was a "spy" for Arthur, a mobster-cum-landlord who repeatedly harassed them. She threatens to call the cops, only to find out that Jay was actually her brother's colleague and undercover cop Detective Jay Halstead. Halstead eventually arrests Arthur and Molly's remains open.
The younger sister of Detective Antonio Dawson, a main character in spin-offs Chicago P.D. and Chicago Justice, Gabby is well-known for being able to hold her own in a largely male-dominated occupation and an all-male firehouse; she and Shay were the only women at 51 until Brett was assigned to Ambulance 61 in season 3.
Dawson shared a close friendship with long-time colleague Matthew Casey even though they were each in relationships with different people. Later, she and the new Candidate Peter Mills bond over their mutual love for cooking and begin a relationship in secret. When their relationship is brought to light, Casey seems to be jealous and pulls rank to keep them apart at work. She later discovers that Boden had had an affair with Mills's mother, and she keeps this knowledge from him. When he finds out that she had known about it and that she still has feelings for Casey, he ends their relationship but they remain mutual friends. She had a brief relationship with Detective Jay Halstead at the beginning of season 2 but they mutually part ways. Following Casey's near-death accident in the season 2 episode "Not Like This", Dawson and Casey start a very serious romantic relationship and Casey proposes to her. She later is a Candidate in the Fire Academy. She fails her physical exam by several seconds, after injuring her ankle. In season 3, she has passed the Fire Academy. However, her relationship with Casey poses a problem due to fraternization rules and she is initially assigned to Firehouse 105 in Austin under Casey's nemesis Lieutenant Welch. Welch was against her assignment to his truck company due to a past bad experience with a female firefighter. He fills the spot and she is assigned as the Candidate on Truck 81, under Herrmann's supervision. During her first few weeks on the job, Casey is extra protective of her, much to Herrmann's frustration, but she eventually settles in. In season 4, she suffers a miscarriage. Her return to duty coincided with Chief Riddle's quest to oust and make an example of Chief Boden so that he can make Fire Commissioner.
