Embattled Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass secretly altered the official Palisades Fire response report to downplay the failures made by the city and fire department when the deadly blaze erupted, a new report said.
Bass, after seeing an early draft of the after-action report, wanted key findings of the Los Angeles Fire Department’s shortcomings scrubbed or watered down — and even warned then-interim Fire Chief Ronnie Villanueva the unedited conclusions could expose the city to legal liability, sources close to the Democrat’s staff told the Los Angeles Times.
Bass was cautioned that the self-serving tweaks in with the report was a “bad idea” that could torpedo her political career, but still withheld the working draft until after changes were made, insiders told the Times.

She and NewSCUM allowed the fire to happen in order to “reimagine” it in their own communist vision, full of low income housing..heck NewSCUM said so himself after the fire he said “This is the perfect opportunity to reiagine the Palisades: so there ya go..that is why there was NO water in the hydrants, NO water in the reservoir, it was all pre planned they just sat back and waited for something to happen
