(Click on image to view larger version.) February 28, 2013 – Marina City and the State Street Bridge made their Chicago Fire debut as a scene filmed on February 5 aired Wednesday night on NBC. In the three-minute scene for the episode Better to Lie, a Chicago Fire Department truck goes east on Wacker Drive, then west on Wacker Drive, and finally arrives from the north on State Street just shy of the bridge. They find a Buick LaSabre has struck a bicycle messenger and crashed into a light pole. The driver of the car is gone. A passenger is stuck. The messenger is under the car, gone to bike messenger heaven. Fire fighters soon track down the driver on the State Street Bridge – on the wrong side of the railing – looking like he is going to jump into the Chicago River. Trying to lure him back, Peter Mills, played by Charlie Barnett, tells the man that the messenger is ok – which is kind of untrue – but it works. “I figured it was better to lie to him and get him down,” says Mills. “He can get over it later.”
