In 2022, Rich Blatus became Acting Chief of Operations in a time in which the FDNY was collectively hitting the reset button. Coming out of coronavirus and coming into normal day to day operations, he had a chance to shift gears as the department started its latest post-crisis era. As he says here, the key was teamwork and when that’s functioning as it needs to, there’s no stopping the work that can get done.
Great talking with the Chief for Volume 57 of The Best of The Bravest: Interviews with The FDNY’s Elite.
