Preview: A Minute-By-Minute Account of Chicago Fire’s Two-Hour Movie Event

The big Chicago Fire two-hour movie event is airing this Thursday, March 22, from 9-11pm ET. One Chicago fans have been on pins and needles waiting to find out who in the firehouse is pregnant and… *gulp* who gets shot.

The Chi-Hards over at Talk Nerdy With Us want to make sure you are adequately prepared for that night. You will laugh, you will tweet, and you will cry. A LOT. But if you want to know what specifically to expect when you watch it, keep reading for an exact minute-by-minute account of how the night that I watched it went down.
