Watch David Eigenberg Visit the Real Life Firefighters of LA Fire & Rescue Crew
He showed up to support the brave team.
The best of both worlds, firefighter edition!
Recently, David Eigenberg (Christopher Herrmann) of Chicago Fire visited the firehouse of those featured in the new NBC docuseries LA Fire & Rescue. In the clip, Eigenberg is greeted with cheers from the LA team Station 16 before he has a sincere moment with Captain Dan Olivas.
"They're got a wonderful show coming up. It's the real thing," Eigenberg said. "The sincerity of terrible situations they're serving in their communities, that's an amazing gift to watch. It's been a gift for me to tag along with the real firefighters. They're amazing, and they have seen things that other human beings should never have to see, but yet somebody does have to see it. And they do it. And we don't," he added with sincerity.
The team fully embraced the Chicago Fire star's presence as they posed with him for photos, and one firefighter even picked him up in the air in a lighthearted moment.
