Billy Nicholson is the owner of Canal Port Studio until it was burned down in a fire in which Firehouse 51 responded to. This fire resulted in the death of his friend and studio manager, Wyatt Sullivan. When 51 suspected him of the arson after his studio equipment was booted moments before the initial fire, they learned Wyatt and his wife, Jane, were hit hard by the COVID-19 Pandemic and not only stole the equipment, but started the fire, using acetone from Jane's nail salon as an accelerant for the fire. They even found Billy's equipment stowed away at the nail salon.
