New York fire commissioner resigns following Mamdani win

Tucker will resign on Dec. 19, 2025, citing ideological differences with Mayor-elect Mamdani, after reducing NYC fire deaths to a decade low, officials said.

  • New York City Fire Commissioner Robert Tucker announced his resignation, effective December 19, 2025, less than 24 hours after Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral election.
  • Tucker did not specify a reason for his departure but said in a statement that it was "the honor of a lifetime to serve as the 35th New York City Fire Commissioner".
  • As Mayor-elect Mamdani prepares to take office on January 1, 2026, his incoming administration will be responsible for appointing a new fire commissioner.
