FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker announced his resignation Wednesday, just one day after Zohran Mamdani's victory in the New York City mayoral election, the department confirmed to Newsmax.
Tucker said he would step down effective Dec. 19, 2025, marking the end of his tenure as the department's 35th commissioner.
"It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as the 35th New York City Fire Commissioner," Tucker said in a statement provided to Newsmax.
"Between now and then, I will continue to lead the greatest fire department in the world and will ensure an orderly transition."
The announcement — which did not cite a specific reason for his departure — comes amid a major political shake-up at City Hall following Mamdani's historic win.
