Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley was fired by Mayor Karen Bass on Friday afternoon, a source close to the chief’s office told DailyMail.com.
‘Kristin was summoned by Bass this afternoon, about 4pm. She came back from that meeting, hugged her staff goodbye and left. She said she was fired,’ the source said.
The alleged booting follows Crowley lashing out against the Mayor’s cuts to her department, in an interview with a local Fox TV station around 12pm Friday.
‘My message is the fire department needs to be properly funded,’ the Chief said. ‘It’s not.’
‘Did they fail you?’ Fox LA’s Gigi Graciette asked. ‘Yes,’ Crowley replied.
The Fire Department (LAFD) did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Hours earlier, Chief Crowley delivered a scathing indictment of the Mayor Bass's administration, exposing a crisis of funding, staffing, and readiness that she says left her department ill-equipped to face the catastrophe.

Will Bass fire herself?
The chief is the luckiest one of all. It’s going to be hell for a long time and she’s free from it.
“LA Mayor Karen Bass FIRES fire chief Kristin Crowley after lashing out”
Why does Mayor Bass HATE LESBIANS? After all, Crowley was clearly qualified (according to one Newbie/Retread here, LOL) - so it must be that Bass HATES LESBIANS.
Typical Marxist party apparatchik. “For the good of the Party you must make this sacrifice Comrade Crowley”.
A couple of threads on this say the mayor denies the report. The New York Post and Fox also said it’s untrue.
Knives out! Busses will be busy removing people thrown under
There is another thread here at FR that says this isn’t true and the two had a press conference stating as much. Granted the lezbo should’ve never been hired but....
Yup—we will have to open the box to see whether Schrodinger’s cat is alive or dead.
:-)
Circular “firing” squad
Things in LA have gone from bad to worse and eventually will turn into a hellscape like never before, the inmates are turning on each other and the result is LA will continue to burn because they are not being honest, the fires can’t be put out without help from Mother Nature.
Crowley will sue and win. Then her and Bass will party together.
Nearly 60,000 votes on change.org calling for her to resign.
Recall effort post fires likely.

I heard last night the Chief was NOT fired. Mixed stories on this.
Supposedly she is NOT REALLY FIRED!!
Freaky lesbo Crowley is more concerned w/ saving her own filthy ***.
She must be unceremoniously kicked out of her public policy position,
and criminally charged and prosecuted to within an inch of her useless life.
Stop these types from being anywhere near the levers of power.
Chief was probably missing a chunk of her backside and feeling the sad.
That $412K salary loss will hurt Crowley.
Right, there’s another report from last night saying it didn’t happen.
