Robert Tucker, a private security executive and longtime FDNY Foundation board member, will be New York City’s 35th Fire Commissioner, Mayor Eric Adams announced on Monday.

Hizzoner officially appointed Tucker — currently CEO of the private security company T&M Protection Resources, — during a ceremony at the FDNY’s Randall’s Island training facility on Aug. 12. Tucker will succeed Laura Kavanagh, the first woman to lead the FDNY, in the role after she formally resigned last week.

As night fell, the shadows of detainees could be seen past the barbed wire fences and inside the building through the windows as they flicked the lights and appeared to jump up and down as they attempted to communicate with those outside on the outside, much to the delight of protesters who yelled to them through megaphones.
