Chicago Fire‘s Joe Cruz (Joe Miñoso), first the driver of Truck 81 and now part of Rescue Squad 3, hasn’t had an easy life, but he always did a stalwart job as a firefighter. A good man raised in a tough neighborhood, early in the show, he let a gang leader die in a fire, in order to save his younger brother’s life, and was wracked with guilt, but his boss Lt. Casey (Jesse Spencer) refused to fire him.

Cruz has been an acting lieutenant several times on both Squad and Engine 51 and in the February 4 episode, he’s in that position once again.
