The FDNY has failed to identify the snitch who secretly recorded a meeting between a dozen staff chiefs and Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh a year ago – a recording that chiefs fumed was leaked to make them look bad.
The unsolved mystery has irreparably eroded the chiefs’ confidence in Kavanagh, insiders say.
“One of the big trust issues is that the meeting was recorded. And that remains a huge problem,” a high-ranking chief told The Post.
“Nobody knows who recorded it, and there doesn’t seem to be a concern that a meeting of the executive staff of the New York City Fire Department was recorded and then leaked to the press.
As far as we know, there have been no steps taken to figure out who did it.”
An age-discrimination lawsuit against the city and Kavanagh accuses her of leaking the recording to burnish her image as the FDNY’s first female commissioner fighting the old guard to improve the department.
