Andy Herrera
Lt. Andrea "Andy" Herrera (Portrayed by Jaina Lee Ortiz)
Appears in Grey's Anatomy (S14-15); Station 19 (S1-4)
A firefighter who was practically raised in the station and aspires to be the best at her job. After bringing a young boy into the ER but being unable to leave due to literally holding all his blood in, she forms a close friendship with Meredith Grey, which becomes further founded when she helps with Meredith's research and they bond over their respective intern/rookie.
- Action Girl: Andy is a brave, confident firefighter and is promoted to lieutenant later in season 1.
- Betty and Veronica: Ryan and Jack respectively, the former being her Childhood Friend who lives right next door and whom she dated in high school and Jack, with whom she has a sordid Secret Relationship ripe with Belligerent Sexual Tension within the station.
- Bilingual Bonus: Speaks Spanish and uses it to keep from Meredith/Jo/Helm getting in trouble with April, but also to actually help with their research by taking the phone out of the ER and talking to Dr. Cerron in Madrid.
- The Captain: She and Jack Gibson are in competition for the vacant Captain's spot at station 19 after her father is forced to step down. The two of them alternate as acting captain between shifts, though this arrangement came to an end after the Season 2 premiere.
- Captain Smooth and Sergeant Rough: She and Jack function as this respectively while Andy's leadership style is more by-the-book, and calls Jack out on his tendency for taking risks.
- Establishing Character Moment: She stuck her hand into an open wound to stop a kid from bleeding out. That's number one. Within seconds of this, Glasses/Bloodbank/Schmitt tells her to take her hand out of his patient. Her reply? A confused "You look 12." It's also highly reminiscent of "It's the End of the World"/"(As We Know It)" — the bomb episodes from early Grey's.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Maya Bishop both acting as each others' confidants and emotional support.
- Hot-Blooded: Andy can be cocky and stubborn, prone to making reckless decisions without listening to any input from others particularly when she's acting captain and when it comes to someone she loves.
- I Gave My Word: Reveals in episode 7 she promised her mother she would take care of her father a week before she died.
- Like Parent, Like Child: Her dad, Captain of Station 19, was the main influence on her choice of career.
- Missing Mom: Her mother left when she was 9, but she grew up believing her mother had died, which makes her more sensitive about her dad having cancer.
- Ms. Fanservice: Now and then.
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: Though Andy has given being a firefighter her all, and according to Jack, had earned her lieutenant's spot two years before the start of the series but Pruitt held her back.
- The Perfectionist: Herrera strives to do everything by-the-book, stick to protocol and carry everything on her back including minimizing the collateral damage. Jack and Ryan both note this about her.
- In "Contain the Flame", she decides to vent the attic fire with as little damage as possible to the roof interior, deliberately dismissing Gibson and Montgomery's experience with the building saying "steps" have to be followed, only for her method to fail and ultimately resort to Gibson's suggestion. The Battalion Fire Chief calls her out on this.
- Spicy Latina: Andy is of Latina decent and while normally assertive and level-headed, she can be a hothead, being rather tenacious and stubborn.
- True Companions: Andy is this with Maya, having been best friends since their days as rookies.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Is on the receiving end of this many times after some of her more reckless decisions only backfire and make situations worse.
Ben Warren
Dr. Benjamin "Ben" Warren (Portrayed by Jason George)
Appears in Grey's Anatomy (S6-17); Station 19 (S1-4)
- Action Dad: He's now a firefighter and has a son Tuck.

- Happily Married: With Bailey.
- Naïve Newcomer: Ben learns the hard way early on that saving victims in the field is a whole different world than saving them in an OR. In the series pilot, Montgomery chews him out on this after Pruitt collapses and Ben asks for his history and orders to start a drip line when transporting him to the hospital on the rig.
- New Meat: He's the new firefighter rookie at station 19. This has since worn off as he's gotten more experience.

- The Captain: He and Andy are in competition for the rank of captain at station 19. In Season 1, they both take on the role of acting captain between shifts.
- Captain Smooth and Sergeant Rough: He's the Sergeant Rough to Andy's Captain Smooth. While Andy is The Perfectionist, Jack's style is more practical due to his experience that he is unafraid to take risks, allowing him to plan ahead and think outside the box. Herrera chews him out for this, citing it as reckless or impulsive.
- This pays off in "Contain the Flame", that on a call where kids had collapsed in a swimming pool full of chemicals, Jack figured out there was a missing girl unaccounted for and made a split-second decision, diving into the pool saving the girl's life, putting himself at minimal jeopardy.
- Deceptive Legacy: He grew up in foster care, not knowing anything about his birth family.

When a tornado hits the neighborhood, the firefighters soon discover that Jack never even left Seattle but has spent the last several months shacking up with Eva while on a downward spiral. Then, when Andy tries to argue to Beckett that Jack can be okay when his leave is up, Beckett reveals Jack never asked for any leave, he just took off with no word to anyone.
