Kelly Severide), Jesse Spencer (Lt. Matt Casey), Naperville native David Eigenberg (Christopher Herrmann), Charlie Barnett (Peter Mills), Jon Seda (Det. Antonio Dawson) and others braved the frigid waters, as did a record-breaking 3,200-plus polar plungers who raised an estimated $1 million for Special Olympics Chicago.
