The FDNY boss offered “fire safety” advice from the annual Somos political conference in Puerto Rico Thursday — just hours after a fire killed six people in Brooklyn. Fire Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore was spotted rubbing elbows with union heads at a posh beachside resort 1,600-miles away from the city — but played down her jaunt to the warm-weather political junket when confronted by reporters. “I have my first deputy commissioner who is currently taking care of business down there,” she said when asked if her absence had presented any difficulties tackling the deadly blaze in Sunset Park.
