"Controversy Erupts as FDNY Commissioner Faces Heckling at NYC Parade"

NYC Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh was jeered at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade after her department vowed to pursue Trump-supporting FDNY members who booed NY Attorney General Letitia James at a promotion ceremony. The protesters chanted Trump's name and heckled Kavanagh as she marched past Trump Tower, prompting criticism from elected officials, union leaders, and civil rights lawyers. FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens initially stated that the department would "hunt down" those involved, but later walked back on his comments, clarifying that there was no investigation into the booing. The controversy stems from James' civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump, which resulted in a $454 million judgment against him.

FDNY Chief's Request for Demotion Sparks Mutiny Among Deputy Chiefs.

A tenth top FDNY chief, Assistant Chief Thomas J. Currao, has requested a demotion following comments made by newly appointed deputy commissioner Joseph Pfeifer, in which he dismissed the mutiny by nine top chiefs in solidarity with three others demoted by embattled commissioner Laura Kavanagh. Currao, described as a Kavanagh ally and her top choice to replace John Hodgens as the next Chief of Department, was outraged by Pfeifer's comments and found them wrong and disparaging to all chiefs. Kavanagh has so far refused to honor the requests for demotion.
