New NYC Mayor selects a non-binary lesbian as Chief Fire Commissioner

[Fort Fun Indiana]

This thread really brought out the worst people in America.

 

[Rocko]

How is one's sexuality in any way relevant to fulfilling the duties of this office?

It should have no bearing. So if she got the job because she’s a lesbian then there’s fair criticism.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

And? There's a huuuuge difference between EMS, and firefighting.

Yes, EMS is much tougher and takes a lot more brains!

 

[westwall]

Tougher, no. Requires more brains? Possibly.

 

[Correll]

Hegseth did NOT have anything approaching a "serious military career". In 11 years, he had one promotion. Hardly a "serious" career at all. He was basically drummed out of the military because he was a "security risk", and for his drinking and affairs.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2024/11/16/pete-hegseth-tattoo-national-guard/.

Hegseth has ZERO qualifications for the job. The Signal chat mess proves he truly is a "security risk". At this point, he's also guilty of war crimes, and will hopefully be facing charges when MAGA gets the boot.

Pete Hegseth Is Unfit To Lead the Pentagon

Pete Hegseth lacks the credibility and experience required to lead a body as massive and as critical as the Department of Defense; his confirmation as secretary of defense would be a major risk to Americans’ safety and security.

And instead of being a serious person, you double down on the bullshit.


Got it.

Tougher, no. Requires more brains? Possibly.

The decision-making process is light years more difficult. My son-in-law is a retired firefighter. He also was Air National Guard for 22 years and the head of their crash crew. He was qualified to be a fire chief except he lacked his EMT certification. My daughter was also an EMT training to be a paramedic and she had to help him pass the class. Most firefighters cannot be paramedics because they don't have the educational background for the medicine. Very few do. He now works as an EMT for a hospital ambulance crew. However, he was the guy you would want to pull you out of a crash, car wreck or fire. He is 6 foot 7 and about 250 pounds of muscle. I look like a little kid standing beside him and I'm not small.

 

[Bitterhook]

Perhaps the fires can pretend they are floods, or refuse to be thought of as being dangerous, and everything will be okay in Utopia.

 

[Crepitus]

She's never been a fireman.

And?

 

[mudwhistle]

Yes, EMS is much tougher and takes a lot more brains!

Yep.
Much tougher.
All firefighters have to do is go into burning buildings carrying 70 lbs of equipment.
What happens when you spray water on a burning fire?
How hot do you think it gets in an enclosed space?

 

[mudwhistle]

And?

The and should be pretty obvious.
Democrats are using who you are rather than your qualifications to fill leadership positions, which leads to incompetence and catastrophic failure at all levels.

Chief Lillian Bonsignore, Paramedic, CIC- is a retired, 31-year veteran of the Fire Department of New York who served as the FDNY Chief of EMS Operations from 2019-2022 during the COVID Pandemic. She was the highest-ranking Officer in the EMS command, the highest-ranking uniformed female in FDNY and the first female to achieve a 4-star rank in the history of FDNY. Chief Bonsignore was responsible for the operational oversight and leadership of more than 4300 EMS Providers in New York City where EMS responds to 1.5 million calls per year. She also has an extensive history in EMS training. She previously served as the FDNY Chief of the EMS Academy where she was responsible for the EMS Probationary School, EMS Officer training and managed the EMS certification of more than 13,000 members of the FDNY. Chief Bonsignore retired in December 2022. Chief Bonsignore is now a senior advisor for Cambridge Consulting Group.

Wow, she sounds pretty qualified to me, especially since the FDNY spends far more resources responding to EMT Calls than they do putting out fires.

Mamdami on social media: “Experience does matter, which is why I appointed the person who spent more than 30 years at EMS. You know, the workforce that addresses at least 70% of all calls coming into FDNY?” Mamdani wrote in a post on the social platform X.

No you dunderhead.

You leftists have a lot of issues with who you choose to fck.

It shouldn't matter, but you all make it matter.

 

[AsherN]

Awesome! In all likelihood, she knows virtually nothing about managing a metro fire department, so the carnage is going to be spectacular!

Looking forward to it! New Yorkers are going to get everything they deserve.

She has 31 years in FDNY, working and living alongside firefighters. She has proven leadership and large scale management experience, ending her career as FDNY EMS Chief.
FDNY Commissioner is a purely management/political position. She has a Fire Chief to advise on firefighting.

The guy that Adams appointed only listed "following fire trucks as a kid" as his experience.

A 4 star ranked 31 year FDNY veteran has no experience?

 

[Rawley]

And?

Really?
