Four FDNY assistant chiefs sued FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh for demoting them and others, alleging New York City Mayor Eric Adams' appointee is a 'political operative' jeopardizing public safety.
A 36-page lawsuit filed in Brooklyn’s Kings County Supreme Court Monday lists FDNY Assistant Chief of Fire Prevention Joe Jardin, Assistant Chief of Operations Michael Gala, Assistant Chief of Operations Fred Schaaf and Chief of Uniformed Personnel Michael Massucci as plaintiffs.
Once her "ill-conceived demotions" go into effect between March 4 to 6, the lawsuit claims there will be no staff chiefs who have ever served as incident commanders on a 5-alarm fire, and there are only four staff chiefs with sufficient rank, in the absence of more senior chiefs, to cover 4-alarm fires across the entire city, though it is unclear if they served as incident commanders for a 4-alarm fire before.
A lawsuit from four FDNY assistant chiefs alleges that if the court does not intervene to stop Commissioner Laura Kavanaugh's demotions, there will be no staff chiefs who have ever served as incident commanders on a 5-alarm fire.
