FDNY

FDNY Commissioner On January 6 Capitol Attack

The Fire Department of New York (FDNY) put out a statement on the presence of active or retired members from the FDNY ranks during the January 6 Capitol attack.

The statement says “department members, whether active or retired, must not engage in conduct that tends to bring the Department into disrespute…” Both FDNY and the New York Police Department are facing multiple issues of this nature.

Yesterday it was reported that James Kobel submitted his resignation paperwork in advance of a deaprtment administrative hearing over racist posts he had made under an alias.

Several FDNY and other fire department jackets and hats were seen during the January 6 Capitol attack.

In October 2020, IAFF Local 22 endorsed Donald Trump for re-election, despite the national union coming out strong for Vice President Biden. The same month a patrol officer was suspended for using his patrol car to broadcast pro-Trump messages.
