Embattled FDNY boss Laura Kavanagh to resign
Commissioner Laura Kavanagh ’s last day will be August 7 — less than two weeks away — and the FDNY has not given any hints as to who will take over to lead the country’s largest fire department when it arrives.Three names floated as Kavangh’s possible successor are Chairman and CEO of security and investigations company T&M USA Robert Tucker; FDNY Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Kwame Cooper; and FDNY Chief of EMS Operations Michael Fields, sources told The Post.
While the mayor has stood by her side, she came under fire from others in the administration as a number of issues arose under her leadership. But one of Kavanagh’s predecessors who served as the FDNY boss during 9/11 recently told The Post that the first female commissioner was “set up to fail” at leading the department headed by an “old boys club.”said. “She handled it poorly but was on target with trying to get more of the younger, talented lieutenants, captains and battalion chiefs to come to headquarters with loftier goals than padding comp time and pensions.
“As she promised, the Commissioner has spent the past several weeks leading a planned transition of leadership at the FDNY, in addition to helping the mayor’s team search for the Department’s next commissioner,” the department said in a statement.
