FDNY second-in-command Joseph Pfeifer has been booted by new Commissioner Robert Tucker just days after the new head took over, The Post has learned.

“Fire Commissioner Tucker me that City Hall will replace me with a new First Deputy Commissioner,” Pfeifer, 68, wrote in a farewell email obtained by The Post.“It has been great working with all of you for the last year and a half and many of you for much longer.”“As every commissioner before him has done, Commissioner Tucker will build a staff that will move forward his and the administration’s vision for the FDNY,” she said.

He was hired as then-Commissioner Kavanagh clashed with three of her top chiefs after demoting them. It was assumed she brought in Pfeifer to make sure there was still firefighting experience in the top ranks of FDNY.due to his ability to legally “double dip” by collecting by his FDNY salary of $242,727, alongside his pension with the department, which came to $279,304 in fiscal year 2024.
