An explosive lawsuit claims that the demotion of the chief poses a severe risk to public safety.
An explosive lawsuit was filed by four demoted FDNY chiefs on Monday, claiming that the demotions are a severe risk to public safety.FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh has made headlines recently for a controversial decision to demote three seasoned chiefs. Now, those chiefs are suing to get their jobs back.
In an interview with FOX 5 NY, Kavanagh was clear that she would not comment on personnel matters or ongoing legal issues, but did say that any implication that the city is not safe is completely false. "We are putting together a new team ad that's always difficult, but it's what every commissioner before me has done," Kavanagh said.
The four chiefs allege that the reassignments pull those men out of positions in which their decades of experience help save lives. They claim, if the demotions go into effect at the beginning of March, the impact will be "an unimaginable level of unpreparedness."
