This week on ShmueliCast, we sat down for a direct, open conversation with Yanky Fliegman, Fire Commissioner of the Monsey Fire Department.We began by speaking about his personal experience being present in Washington, D.C. on January 6th. Yanky shared what it was like to be there in real time — the atmosphere, the emotions, and how the day unfolded from his vantage point. Hearing the experience from someone who was physically there offers a different perspective — one that sheds light on details and impressions people may not have been exposed to until now, including how he recalls President Trump's speech as it was delivered live, in the moment.From there, we transitioned into his role as Fire Commissioner — the responsibility it carries and the realities of serving the community.We also addressed some of the ongoing discussions surrounding fire response efforts in the area, including the dynamics between different volunteer groups. The topic was handled thoughtfully, allowing concerns and viewpoints to be expressed without taking sides or placing judgment.As always, ShmueliCast is about sitting down, hearing people out, and giving our audience the space to listen and form their own understanding."And as always feel free to share your feedback, we'd love to hear your thoughts and comments.

In this episode of Throwback FDNY…in 1870, the FDNY unveils its Museum. In 1910, Rhinelander Waldo becomes Fire Commissioner. And in 1911, a devastating fire destroys Dreamland Park in Coney Island.

Laura Kavanagh was appointed Fire Commissioner by Mayor Eric Adams in October 2022. As Fire Commissioner, Kavanagh oversees the day-to-day operations of the largest fire department in the country, with more than 17,000 employees and a $2 billion budget. We're excited to have Laura Kavanagh on the show today to talk specifically about battery fires, where according to the FDNY, batteries have led to 180 fires (now 187) and tragically 14 people have died so far this year in NYC. SummaryCommissioner Laura Kavanagh of the NYC Fire Department discusses her rise through the ranks and her leadership in handling various emergencies. The focus of the conversation centers on the rising incidence of battery fires in the city, attributed to small electric vehicles like e-bikes, used predominantly by delivery workers. There is concern about the modifications and underground markets around these devices, emphasizing the need for regulation, inspection, and collaboration with other departments and agencies to address the immediate and future challenges presented by these battery fires.Highlights  Laura Kavanagh, the 34th commissioner of the NYC Fire Department, has held various roles and oversaw the department's response to several emergencies, including the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and the Ebola outbreak in 2015.  The FDNY reports a substantial rise in battery fires, recording 220 in 2022, up from 30 in 2019, and has noted the prevalence of these fires in small electric vehicles like e-bikes, scooters, and mopeds.  Much attention is given to delivery workers as they are heavily reliant on these devices, which are often modified or altered to enhance performance or extend battery life, contributing to the risks and frequency of fires.  Numerous issues arise from modifications, DIY conversion kits, and unregulated devices entering the market, creating unsafe conditions and usage that go beyond the original intended design of these electric vehicles.  The challenge of inspecting and regulating these devices is intensified by the prevalence of underground markets and the inability to inspect private apartments where unsafe charging and alterations often occur.  The FDNY is collaborating with the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies to examine and address the public safety impacts, with considerations on future innovations, recycling, and regulations on electrification.  While government agencies are receptive and showing progress, Kavanagh emphasizes the urgency in expediting regulations and legislative actions to address the growing and immediate risks associated with battery fires in small electric vehicles.
