In a televised interview, Crowley officially criticizes the president’s resources cuts to the LAFD. In her remarks, she highlighted important issues such as limited funding, staffing shortages, and functional readiness, warning that the city was prepared for the latest fire season, which has already displaced over 100, 000 residents.
” Did the city of Los Angeles fail you, your office, and our town”? asked FOX LA’s Gigi Graciette.
As a captain, I have the authority to articulate precisely what the Fire Department needs to do in order to meet the needs of the community, Crowley said.
” Did they fail you”? Graciette pressed.
” That is our task, and I tell you, that’s why I’m around”, Crowley responded. So let’s get what we need for our rescuers to perform their duties.
” Did they fail you”? Graciette asked suddenly.
“Yes.”
Kristin Crowley, the head of the Los Angeles Fire Department, claims that they failed her.

Crowley had been fired, according to sources who previously told the Daily Mail, but that didn’t materialize.
A source initially told Daily Mail.com on Friday evening that the fire chief was fired, but the Mayor’s office told ABC7 Crowley still had her work. The couple “met,” according to the company’s official statement to the outlet, without making any mention of whether Crowley stayed in her current role.
‘ The Mayor and Chief met. The focus remains fighting these flames and protecting Angelenos,’ the speech said.
However, Josh Haskell, an ABC7 writer, added on the social media platform X that the Mayor’s office had formally refuted the says that Crowley had been fired.
When Crowley returned from the meeting, she informed the source on Friday evening that she was” not fired yet.”
‘ She was going into the meeting, telling everybody good, because she was told the entire purpose of the meeting was to flame her,’ a cause close to Crowley’s department said.
” When she was called in to the meeting, it was done with the sole intention of firing her.”
‘ Whatever happened in that appointment, brains got changed.
Either Crowley talked her out of it and made it seem like death, the supply told the Daily Mail. She came back in the office recently, told her team,’ I’m never fired yet ‘ and went into a conference with all her leaders.”

At both the state and local degrees, the fires have exposed a disturbing mix of incompetence and corruption, with officials who are more focused on preserving the situation than resolving the issue. Bass has been criticized for her leadership problems and questionable budget cuts, while Crowley’s fire department has been met with harsh criticism for prioritizing DEI efforts over essential preparation and preparation. Almost sacking Crowley seems to be a deliberate choice by Bass to shift blame. In the end, it seems like everyone is more concerned with keeping their positions than efficiently managing the fire emergency.
This behavior is troubling at for a crucial time.
