FDNY Commissioner Kavanagh addresses decision to step down

NEW YORK (PIX11) -- FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh spent a decade in the fire department and will spend several more months on the job until a new commissioner is chosen.

Kavanagh sat down with PIX on Politics host Dan Mannarino to discuss why she has chosen to step down and rumors swirling around her decision.

Mayor Eric Adams has said that Kavanagh is welcome to a job in the administration if she wants, but Kavanagh said her family will play a big part in her future decision.

"I've told him I am open to it. I am very appreciative of him. I've worked for a lot of people and has been one of my best bosses," said Kavanagh.
