Wrigley Field 10-Aug-12  (Above) Two actors dressed as Chicago firefighters run past two cars parked in the wrong place at the wrong time. North Dearborn Street just south of Kinzie Street was turned into a film set on Thursday as a scene was filmed for the new television series, Chicago Fire. Traffic on Dearborn was reduced to one lane from early morning to late afternoon, and stopped altogether during actual filming. The two cars on the west side of Dearborn were made up to look like window-washing equipment had fallen from 353 North Clark. According to the Chicago Film Office, Thursday was the one and only day of filming on Dearborn for Chicago Fire. While the show will continue to shoot throughout Chicago through mid-December, there are no plans for them to be back in River North anytime soon. Chicago Fire premiers on NBC on October 10.
