hi do you have a post about the timeline in 911 like with the year and the seasons and so including season 5
Hi anon!
I don't *technically* have a post w/ the timeline, so I'm using your ask as an opportunity to make one!
I'm going to put this under a cut, bc currently I have actually no idea what's going on with the timeline for s5, and as things air, I'll update this continually, and it can be used as the most updated resource whenever you open it!
I could not resist adding commentary sometimes, sorry đ
*disclaimer - I understand the crossover is supposed to line up w LSâs timeline or whatever but it absolutely does not work for our timeline. So this is purely OGâs timeline, bc I donât watch LS, and also our timeline is a lot more logical.*
911 OG timeline under the cut!
Just a note - anything thatâs currently speculation is gonna be in blue. As we get confirmation of things, Iâll add in confirmed info and put things in black, and anything thatâs wrong will be removed/edited.
Also, episodes tend to happen over several daysâ time, so if youâre looking for an EXACT date for a little scene in an ep, I mostly donât have it for you, but you should put it within the week Iâve given, relative to where it went in the ep. (Eg a call later in the ep would be more likely to have happened on Thursday or Friday.)
Also re: s4. COVID does not work as a good timeline indicator for this show, AT ALL. Its sort of like the whole âdo they have regular shiftsâ debate - the writers wrote the stories they wanted to tell, and then fit COVID in around that. Also it got really screwed by them being done filming before it hit, but not having aired any of s3B yet. And then both bc COVID canât be used to figure out time, and also bc it wasnât aired normally, it is a lot more nebulous timeline-wise, I did my best though đ
-Pre Series-
1966-1967: Athena is born.
1967: Bobby is born.
Mid Mar 1977: Chim is born (this has the potential to change in the future, details on why found here)
Sometime July - Dec 1979: Hen is born.
1983: Maddie is born.
1985: Daniel is born.
1987 - 1992: Eddie is born SOMETIME in this time window. Personally I like him in 1989/90, bc it makes him 21 when Christopher is born, but I think 1987 is also very plausible since thatâs when RG is born.
Fall 1989: âAthena Beginsâ starts, continues through 1991 (Emmett dies on Feb 17th, 1991).
Somewhere between Feb 15 and mid September 1991: Buck is born.
Sometime Aug - Dec 1992: Daniel dies.
2000: Albert is born.
Aug 2000 - Feb 2001: Michael and Athena get married.
2002: May is born. (Discussion on Mayâs birth year here)
2005: Chim joins the firehouse, events of Chimney Begins stretch out over ~2007?? Unclear exact time frame but before Hen joins and over at least a year, if not more.
2006: Josh joins dispatch.
Sometime?? In 2008: Hen joins LAFD to be a paramedic. I really donât have a good measure for this one bc it apparently takes years to become a paramedic but this is one area where the writers donât give a SHIT about reality bc she has to join in 2008 for a comment in Future Tense to make sense. So just - early 2008 probably for this one.
Jan 2009: Hen joins the 118.
2009: Harry is born.
2010 or early 2011: Eddie enlists in the army for the first time - coincides with Shannon getting pregnant. (As of now, no idea if they were married before or after she got pregnant. Timeline of him enlisting in response to the pregnancy though indicates to me maybe they were already married.)
2011: Denny is born.
2011: Christopher is born. (Anyone curious, personally, Iâd put his birthday somewhere in Jan-early March, late May-early Sept, purely bc I refuse to think at this point that Christopherâs birthday has happened while the show has been airing and Eddie hasnât mentioned it. So it must be during usual hiatus times đ)
Dec of 2014: âBobby Begins Againâ starts.
2015: Eddie is deployed a second time, his helicopter crashes/heâs discharged from Army/Shannon leaves him and Christopher
Sometime Aug-Dec 2016: Bobby becomes captain of the 118.
Aug 2017: Buck joins the 118.

The timeline just doesnât fit otherwise w Buckâs leg.)
