(Okay, I’m just kidding. I guess I’m in trouble with the feminists, again.)
Did she ever fight a fire????
Grew up in San Fran, worked for the campaign of Caliph Baraq, then DiBlasio. Basically about as qualified for the job as my Golden Retriever.
“Well that sounds very stylish.”
First this, first that... 5000th face-palm
Oh, no 'u'? Nevermind
Sounds like she is some political hack who has been working in Dem Party operations and cannot tell smoke from fire. Good luck with this one, FDNY
She worked for DeBlasio. It looks like this is purely management...and that she’s not really a fire fighter...but I’ll have to check further.
She is NOT and never has been a fire fighter. I’m sure there are a lot of seasoned firemen who deserved the job.
On 9-11, there were no female firefighters lost in the World Trade Center. None. I wonder if she’s ever actually fought a fire? And one is not enough.
In other words...she swallows. NYFD members will have a hard time accepting her as she has never worked a day in the department she will be in charge of. That usually never goes over well.
A woman doesn’t belong in the fire department, much less head of it.
This is a civilian role.
The job that requires fire fighting experience is Chief of Department
https://www1.nyc.gov/site/fdny/about/overview/leadership/chief-of-department.page
“She previously worked at City Hall as a special assistant to former Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) and in management and campaign consulting with nonprofits, community-based organizations and unions, according to the mayor’s office.”
She’s qualified alright- for NY chitty
In a town close to me, the chief of ~30 years announced his retirement from the fire department, selectboard starts process to find a replacement. A woman on the department expresses an interest in being chief - and then makes it clear that if any questions during the interview relate to her being a woman, she will sue the town - so no one dares asks, and she gets hired.
Thus becomes first female chief in my state.
Keep in mind, this is a pretty small town - less than 1K residents, and primarily a volunteer department.
She comes to the very first town meeting where budgets for the upcoming year and debated and set and says she needs a brand new personal fire chief vehicle for about $40K (previous chief just used his personal vehicle to get to the scene ahead of the firetrucks) and her reasoning was, and I quote:
“As a female I don’t feel safe pulling up a strangers driveway without an official vehicle that tells people who I am”.
Wonder how many males would have gotten away with that bullsh*t?
Pandering. Big cities are jokes. They don’t give a damn about competency.
A WHITE woman. Adams is a racist. Then again. How do we know she is a woman?
(Okay, I’m just kidding. I guess I’m in trouble with the feminists, again.)
Very happy that all my FDNY friends are retired. ‘Though I’m certain this does not please them at all, at least they’re not forced to serve under this travesty.

She had a good level of estrogen.
Clearly a superior human. /s
