New Yorkers deserve what they voted for. Those who didn't I feel for but have zero ability to help them.

But but he is Muslim.

Either he is Muslim and setting up the city for failure on purpose in some act of jihad OR he is a liar on the Muslim part and is trying to destroy the city for some other reason.

Anyway… an unserious guy doing dangerous things, thanks to self-hating liberals, dumbass voters that fall for anything, and anarchists who know exactly what they are voting for.

So was the last one. It seems to be a position for elbow rubbing vs actual fire martial/marshall arts

pretty sure the FDNY Commissioner actually did SOMETHING on 9/11/2001

hmmm... anyone remember what happened then?

The only "First Responding" he/she has been doing recently is the buffet line

Just part and parcel of the grand plan to turn NYC into a ****hole city like home. Mamdummy & this he/she/it are nothing more than the latest version of newsome/bass of CA destruction fame.

What an odd headline within the tweet, "She will serve as the NYFD's first openly gay commissioner."

Was there a previous closeted gay person serving as commissioner for the FDNY?

---

Perhaps there a previous deeply* closeted gay person serving as commissioner for the FDNY

I think i am going to start calling NY fire stations and ask for the on call gay supervisor to answer a few questions?

It has been a long while since I have crank called someone…..this could be perfect.

Absolutely meaningless to the left. Qualifications mean nothing. Gender, sex, class, and race are the only things that matter.

Don't forget loyalty to the Politburo.

Record the conversations to share with TexAgs, so that we can live vicariously through you, please.

couple of observations

something big will happen i NYC in the next 12 months.

someone should research this persons background and find out if she is affiliated in anyway with Maui, las vegas, los angeles, jamaica, etc. random nobodies keep showing up at locations where bad **** happens.

But she/it is a gay so that is all that matters.

The obese lesbians in LA did such a great job, that its the new lib template for success

She is so hawt!

According to public data, 80% of the FD calls are EMS related. She has served in the NYFD for 30+ years and led ALL EMS operations.

This does not seem that crazy but of course the headline is all you need to rage bait.

New York data supports sounding the alarm on the EMS workforce crisis

• The alarming trend is compounded by a growing shortage of EMS professionals, leaving communities vulnerable to delayed emergency responses and inadequate care. The EMS workforce crisis is not only affecting patient outcomes, but is also taking a significant toll on those who dedicate their careers to saving lives.

New York City's Understaffed, Overwhelmed EMS Workers Strain to Meet Demand BY ANA CASTELAIN MAY 9, 2025

• The city's EMS workers are part of the fire department, or FDNY, which faces recruitment and retention challenges because its employees are among the lowest-paid public workers, according to the unions representing these workers. The EMS unions have been without a contract for three years and are suing the city for discriminatory pay. Current working conditions are taking a toll on EMS employees, putting additional strain on the workforce and leading to burnout for staff, according to the unions

So she's qualified for having pretty much destroyed NYC's EMS.
Any one living in NYC, any business in NYC it is going to get one hell of a lot worse.

Dang the last guy DEFINITELY had experience as a firefighter though right?

Otherwise what would be the point of this whole thread?

The previous Mayor was a POS leftist progressive.

Should say the beatdown goes on

She's been a first responder for decades, chief EMT for last 3 years of her career

This isn't a Lina Hidalgo situation

. Was she good as the chief EMT?

No she wasn't the department has been declining in quality for some time now.

Have no fear worry NYC , she is an expert at putting out bush fires - she'll carpet munch the flames into submission!

I was trying to check out if response times had improved or even just held steady under her watch but the way they keep their public records on such things is complicated making the answer to that basic question quite opaque.

More importantly, and I know there's some lgbtq+ on here, why do lesbians, who don't like men, always try and look like a dude? They don't desire the man, but they try and look like, you guessed it, a man.

---

Similar DNA strand that causes vegans to want fake meat and dairy?

I'm not defending this person, but EMS has been in a decline nationwide for the most part. Low wages and bull**** calls lead to high turnover and recruitment issues.

Again, not a fan of this hire, just pointing out an ongoing problem will EMS providers all over.

People going into positions they aren't qualified for is a tale as old as time. The thing is, when it comes to things like First Responders (Police, EMTs, and especially Firefighters), you want people who know the sector from the ground up.

Hopefully, she'll be nothing more than a figurehead who has people working for her who know what to tell her to do, and she just does it.
The last thing I would want, in any high-level position like that, is, "Well, they were great at X, so they'll be just as successful here."

I read stuff like this, and my first thought isn't immediate outrage at the news... it's more me wondering in my head, why anyone should give a **** about this? I don't live in NYC. That's the problem with social media and the news cycle - they need us to care and be outraged over every damn thing.

That's the best case scenario, of course. My concern is how many of those knowledgeable veterans left within that department to so advise her? Lots of people have been retiring or other wise leaving the department to take jobs elsewhere.

I get where you're coming from. I would like to think that in that department, like in any field, there are plenty of younger, or less tenured, people who are just as capable; they just haven't moved up, because, like in every industry, people are working much longer and retiring a lot later than ever.

We'll see. The good thing is that since there's a microscope in New York, every move will have to be as perfect as possible to avoid any unforced errors that anyone, even seasoned veterans could make, but because of who she and the mayor are, would be blown out of proportion and make things much harder for people like either of them to ever get in those positions again.

Within the last 20 years most places that are staying with the times so to say have either 100% paramedics or require it to promote. Like it or not the fire service is at least 70% EMS. Fire departments are an EMS service that happens to own fire trucks, not the other way around.

---

WRONG! EMTs are wienies. They could never be firefighters at a fire scene. Don't even have the equipment, basic stuff like turnouts, helmets with breathing apparatus. They don't respond with 60-70 pounds of protective equipment on them running up dozens of flights of stairs. Nor could they remotely drive most firetruck vehicles.

EMTs are not diving in to find floaters. Not doing high angle rescues. They are not dragging out crispy critters. Not bagging and tagging those until after the firefighters have done so.

When The Hubs first started, they had to wash out those body bags for reuse.

Most dangerous thing EMTs do are fly in helicopters on Starflights.

This isn't the 1990's Backdraft Days.

This statement alone shows that people don't understand how EMS and Fire Supression have changed in the last 20 years.

It's really all they have. Oh, that dude worked at Fox. Totally unqualified. Ignoring his entire work history. Narrative how does working at Fox make them qualified?

On the other hand, someone made fire chief, who never even worked as a fire fighter is qualified only because she licks other women. That's it. Nothing else but that. And it's literally nothing else. But these clowns thinks THAT is somehow OK.

I would LMFAO if not so ****ing disgusting.
