FDNY fire comissioner Laura Kavanagh has announced her resignation.
After just two years on the job, Kavanagh said she will step down from her role in the coming months.
The agency has apparently already been looking for a replacement. Kavanagh says she looks forward to helping the FDNY find the perfect candidate to fill the role.
She was first appointed to the role of fire commissioner in Mayor Eric Adams’ administration n October 2022. Kavanagh became the first woman to head up the agency since it began nearly 160 years ago. Adams called Kavanagh a trailblazer.
In 2017, she was promoted to second in command and stayed in the role for five years before coming interim fire commissioner when former commissioner Daniel Nigro stepped down.
