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...

I’ve been watching Emergency! on MeTV lately. About the only way they could successfully re-make that today would be as a dark comedy parody. R. A. Cinader and Jack Webb must be spinning in their graves.
An anagram?
Kristin, Kristina, and Kristine are not all versions of “Kirsten.”
It appears Greenfield is dyslexic. Not that it matters for the thesis of his article.
We clearly need more lesbians in charge, since only one didn’t seem to be enough. Live and learn.
All three are mentally ill pervert supremacists.
The entire LGBTWRSTUVWXYZ freak show needs to be institutionalized.
Psychologically damaged freaks.
A new version of KKK?
Didn’t a lesbian sink a New Zealand Navy ship last year?
“All three are mentally ill pervert supremacists.”
Yep. Doesn’t matter if it’s Kristin or Kirstin, they are definitely that and all deeply perverted by the Radical Left’s Six Deadly Obsessions.
I have no problem with her sexual preferences. It is how well she does her job that counts. Was she a DIE hire or was she the most qualified candidate for the job?
It’s like that famous Yiddish proverb.
Man planned; God LAFD.
You mean like that old Democrat group with the hoods and robes?
And three pervert supremacists is still too many.
We were warned “The future is female.”
The Ku Klux Klan. Just plain evil.
Yep.
That was 11% of the New Zealand Navy, and no it wasn’t because the captain was a lesbian. It was because the captain was a woman.
I believe so, yes.
WASHINGTON—In light of the increased focus on the increasing proliferation of fire as a threat to community safety and security, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas today announced the appointment of Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin M. Crowley to the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC). A 22-year veteran of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), Crowley is the first woman and the first LGBTQ Fire Chief to lead the LAFD. She will be sworn in at the HSAC’s next meeting on September 14, 2023.
“Chief Crowley is well versed in the dual challenges firefighters face as first responders and as a critical line of defense in responding to extreme weather events like wildfires,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “DHS will benefit tremendously from her experience, as well as her professionalism and dedication to the workforce, which are vital to safeguarding communities across our country. I am honored to appoint Chief Crowley to the Homeland Security Advisory Council.”
Once sworn in, Chief Crowley will become the second Fire Chief to sit on the HSAC, demonstrating that fires are increasingly a threat to homeland security.
