The most important thing to know about Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley is that she is the first LGBTQ fire chief in the history of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
It’s also the only thing worth knowing about the woman in charge while Los Angeles burned.
Crowley’s status as the first LGBTQ fire chief appears at the top of her bio on the LAFD site. It’s what got her on the Kelly Clarkson show under the headline, “Meet LAFD’s First Female & LGBTQ+ Fire Chief” and made her one of the marshals of the Los Angeles Pride Parade (some of whose attendees no longer have homes after the wave of fires.)
But DEI wasn’t done with the LAFD just yet. Not until two other lesbian ‘Kirstens’ were also running the LAFD.
Kristina Kepner, the first lesbian Assistant Chief and a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School for Managing Diverse Organizations, was accused of a domestic violence incident involving her girlfriend. Kristine Larson, who has a degree in Sociology, headed ‘Equity on Fire’, an organization complaining that the LAFD was sexist and racist, was then rewarded with the title of the LAFD’s first lesbian Equity Bureau Chief with a $399,000 salary.
Diversity mandates had led to three lesbians named some version of ‘Kirsten’ running the LAFD.
Meanwhile, Jamie Brown became the LAFD’s first lesbian Training Commander. Her accomplishment was being the only one of the four lesbians running the LAFD who wasn’t named ‘Kirsten’.
Many glass ceilings were being broken, but there was no one who actually knew how to fight fires. Unless it was by asking the fire about its preferred pronouns.
Crowley, Kepner, and Brown were all paramedics, not firefighters. Diversity mandates led to paramedics being referred to as ‘firefighters’ and being promoted to fire captains and battalion chiefs and then to...

No, it isn't.
Her sexual orientation is all that matters. That is because she is a member of a protected class. We are forbidden to criticize her for that reason.
And that is how incompetent people wind up in charge of public safety positions.
Too many of us have tolerated this because we do not want to be called "bigots" or "racist" or "xxxx-phobic". We are seeing the results of that "tolerance" in Los Angeles right now.
People are just dying for diversity.
All three look like turds in uniform.
I loved that show as a kid.
The reruns are on Pluto TV and I watch a few sometimes.
Unforgettable theme music.
LESBIAN TRIFECTA!! WHAT could go WRONG??
Yes, and is Karen Bass a LESBIAN ALSO??
OMG!! Those SALARIES are RIDICULOUS!! Were they EVER actual firefighters?

Three lesbians in charge of all hoses ... you can’t make this stuff up.
Oh, wait...
Close enough for government work.
Wonder why lezzies are motivated to work in a fire department.
If fire stations still have fire poles, maybe it was fire pole envy.

A little trivia
The doctor was Bobby Troup - his real-life wife played the nurse
Bobby Troup also wrote “Route 66” - I saw Ozark Mountain Daredevils a couple of years ago (didn’t actually plan to go but received tickets) and near the end of the show they played “Route 66” - absolutely nailed that song
Saw them last year - they did NOT play the song. Sadly.
Even their cruise ship version doesn’t even come close to their performance that night. Absolutely fantastic. First time I ever liked that song.

How the F are city officials pulling 750 GRAND a year?
I take that’s the starting pay

They have sure damaged a few of our ships.
Man planned; God LAFD.
