New York City Mayor Eric Adams appointed Robert Tucker as the new FDNY commissioner, replacing Laura Kavanagh.
NEW YORK - Mayor Eric Adams appointed Robert Tucker as the new FDNY commissioner.Tucker is currently chairman and CEO of T&M USA Protection Resources, which is based in New York. Adams made the announcement Monday live on CBS News New York. The new appointment comes after Laura Kavanagh stepped down from the role earlier this month. She was the first woman to ever lead the FDNY. Prior to working at T&M, Tucker worked for the Queens DA's office.
From his early start in communications and his hard work and life-long dedication, which led to his appointment to the Board of Directors for the FDNY Foundation, his experience makes him uniquely qualified to understand the changes that could be made to improve efficiency in the department by increasing unit availability, which would lead to a decrease in response times. This would enable the department to better serve the FDNY's mission to protect lives and property in New York City.
