Ed Slater is a drug addict who accidentally started a fire in his own home. When Firehouse 51 arrived at the scene, he barely got out alive and alerted them about his son being in his room during the fire. Christopher Herrmann saved the boy from the fire, and had the child rushed to the hospital. It was later discovered that it was his negligence that caused the fire and Herrmann later discovered a video of him smoking a crack pipe and blowing smoke in the child's face. Herrmann confronted Ed at his favorite bar and assaulted him. Ed was later arrested by the CPD for the arson. His son later died from a blood clot due to the fire. It is unknown if he was ever charged with the death of his son following his death.
