NEW YORK – Mayor Eric Adams is set to appoint Robert Tucker as the new FDNY commissioner, City Hall sources tell CBS New York.

Tucker is currently chairman and CEO of T&M USA Protection Resources, which is based in New York.

Adams is expected to make the announcement Monday.

Prior to working at T&M, Tucker worked for the Queens DA’s office. He also has worked with the FDNY Foundation and was previously named an honorary fire commissioner – this appointment will make him the real thing.

The new appointment comes after Laura Kavanagh stepped down from the role earlier this month. She was the first woman to ever lead the FDNY.
