The tradition of fdny is over when you have ff calling fire apparatus units there company's not units and it's fire dept not fire service and it's company's not fire crews
It's reassuring that FDNY leadership personnel apparently don't spend much time being drilled in public speaking and in what info must be delivered to the press.
Would u rather a have proficient public speaker fighting a fire or a fireman? The fdny has an entire dept devoted to making statements but recently someone seems to think the members on scene should address the media.

The PR office need not be very much involved in such a simple task as telling folks how to introduce themselves and what aspects of the call to deal with.

This lieutenant was chosen to give his debrief of the scene not because he’s a “good speaker” but because he was a primary source and could give an accurate depiction of what had happened. I see no issue in what was said or the delivery of the speech.

This Lt may be the next Chief of dept!
Actually, he retired not long after this. Hopefully, he enjoys a long retirement.
