FDNY

FDNY Commissioner announced he will resign effective Dec. 19, calling it an "emotional" decision influenced by his faith and "fundamental" ideological differences with Mayor‑elect Zohran Mamdani. He said he has had no personal outreach from Mamdani or the incoming administration, criticized the mayor‑elect’s response to a protest outside an Upper East Side synagogue and cited Mamdani’s positions affecting Jewish New Yorkers as a factor in his departure.
