Three chiefs at the center of the ongoing turmoil at the top levels of the FDNY spoke publicly for the first time Tuesday, calling in an interview with NBC Nw York on the Mayor to step in and heal the rift between Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh and the department’s top brass.
Chief Richard Blatus was FDNY’s acting chief of operations at the time of the June 17, 2022 incident that took the life of Johnny Beernaert, a Belgian firefighter aboard the fireboat Marine 1 Bravo on a tour in the East River.
Assistant Fire Chiefs Michael Gala, Joe Jardin and Michael Massucci claim they were targeted by Kavanagh “because they were at or near the age of 60″ according to the lawsuit filed in Brooklyn Supreme Court late Thursday.
