In a sign of spreading discord within the FDNY ranks, potential promotions from Commissioner Laura Kavanagh are reportedly being rejected even before they’re officially offered.
Their ouster led to several other high-ranking FDNY members to ask for voluntary demotions, but those demotions have not been officially granted., with multiple high-level posts filled by people who have asked not to be in them.
“I am not at all surprised,” Walden said. “Who would take a Staff Chief position and have his or her head on the chopping block next, for no reason?” Amanda Farinacci, the FDNY Press Secretary, criticized WNBC’s decision to publish the reported results. The I-Team asked if FDNY spokespeople could point to any of the department’s 65 deputy chiefs who might voice support for Commissioner Kavanagh. The department provided no such examples, despite NBC offering to keep the names of Kavanagh supporters anonymous.
