Ed Bernero, a former Chicago cop, had wanted to do a police drama partly based on his own experiences. The two worked together on the short-lived showTrinityand, after that show was cancelled, Wells asked Bernero if he wanted to co-create a show with him.Originally, the show was only going to be about the police and paramedics, but firefighterJimmy Dohertywas added to the show afterEddie Cibrianauditioned for the role of Bosco. Cibrian lost out toJason Wiles, but because of the attention he received from women due to his good looks, the producers decided to put him in the show as a new character.
