FDNY Commissioner Robert S. Tucker marked his first year at the helm of the FDNY on Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2025. Over the last 365 days, Commissioner Tucker has made it his mission to listen to the membership at all levels and improve communication. For the Commissioner, this has meant visiting every EMS station and firehouse in the city, inviting staff to his office for one-on-ones, and holding countless impromptu conversations with firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and civilian personnel in all five boroughs. “I have seen firsthand the extraordinary professionalism, dedication, and courage that our members bring to work every day,” Commissioner Tucker said. “Listening to members’ experiences and ideas has been central to shaping our priorities for the future. I believe any manager, CEO or head of Department can improve an organization’s leadership by having an open door policy.”
