Los Angeles Mayor Dismisses Fire Chief

Friday, 21 February 2025 02:44 PM EST

Six weeks after devastating wildfires, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ousted the city's fire chief amid a public rift over preparations for the fires and finger-pointing between the chief and City Hall.

Bass said in a statement she is removing Chief Kristin Crowley immediately.

Bass said 1,000 firefighters could have been on duty the morning the fires broke out but "were instead sent home on Chief Crowley's watch."
