Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley was summoned to Mayor Karen Bass' office for a closed-door meeting hours after she slammed the city's leadership over its handling of the fire department's budget as deadly wildfires continue to rip through Southern California, according to reports.

The meeting started at 4 p.m., NBC reported, citing sources.

Therefore, it is true.

Fire Chief went off script and - when confronted with her own memos about the budget cuts and need for her department that were part of the official record - eventually admits she didn’t get the help or funding she needed.

That’s why the cat fight has erupted.

At this point what people want to see rather than “Live Fire updates” is s “Live Updates of Firings of City Government officials.”

Good thing these weren’t around 50,000 years ago - we’d still be living in caves (otoh, at least they wouldn’t burn).

I’d say when 250,000 sign for Bass to resign, she fires the Chief.

Newsom has also set up the “local officials” for the blame over the hydrants not working.

Crowley might as well have done it. Does anyone think Karen Bass won't fire her sometime soon? And will she ever get another top job, after this, whether it was her fault or not?

I mean, we all know that in 2025, lesbians make better fire chiefs, but, no matter how lesbian she is, no mayor is going to take the chance to hire her.

There is enough blame to go around. It sounds like some blame is Newsom's, Bass', etc.

And Crowley may or may not have been a competent fire chief, but it sounds like what Karen Bass did set up the chief to fail.

That is a great meme! Thanks for sharing.

Leftist woke women are finally being recognized for the crazy incompetent harpies that they are.

I think people are counting their chickens before they hatch. Wokeness is not going away so easily.

Interesting coverup at work here? Notice they let the arsonist from yesterday - with torch in hand - out of any charges.

The Hotshot Wake Up
@HotshotWake
The Palisades Fire is cranking off this evening and new evacuation orders have been given for North of Sunset Blvd to Encino Reservoir and West of the 405 Freeway to Mandeville Canyon.

In an interesting piece of reporting, it was revealed tonight that a senior LAFD official told Daily Mail reporters that on the day the fire started, a resident showed them a video of two people dumping gasoline in the area the fire started and lit it off.

The LAFD official told the resident to turn the video into police because they needed to focus on emergency response and evacuations.

As of Thursday, the Los Angeles Police Department told reporters they “have not received any reports of arson’ related to the Palisades Fire.”

“We had a resident come to us and said he got a video of two men dumping gas and lighting it off,’ said the LAFD official, who asked to remain anonymous.”

I will cover this new and more developments on tomorrow’s episode.
