Embattled FDNY boss Laura Kavanagh to quit
[NYPOST] Embattled FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh is quitting her $243,171-a-year post, she told The Post Saturday.

The stunning development comes amid a slew of controversies that left some members of Mayor Adams’ administration questioning her ability to lead the country’s largest fire department.

Kavanagh, who Adams tapped as the city’s first female fire commissioner in 2022, said in an email to The Post she feels it’s "time for me to pass the torch" and explore other career opportunities. She plans to stay on the job for now and help pick a replacement, Kavanagh wrote.

"My dedication to the FDNY has never and will never waver," she wrote. "It has been the honor of a lifetime to devote the last 10 years — five as first deputy commissioner and more than two as commissioner — to advocating for the men and women of the FDNY.
