LA Fire Chief just went on the record criticizing the city for not funding the Los Angeles Fire Department appropriately.

She said ““The fire department needs to be funded appropriately. So that I can look any community member in the eye and say, ‘Your LAFD’s got your back.’”

When pressed by a reporter who asked, “And right now you can’t?”, she responded “No!”

[....]

The reporter went further and asked her if the city failed the LAFD and she responded “Yes”

𝑽𝑰𝑨 𝑹𝑬𝑫 𝑺𝑻𝑨𝑻𝑬:

Mayor Karen Bass, for instance, was overseas for a photo-op when the first flames erupted, even though she had been warned that the possibility of a big fire was high. President-elect Donald Trump has been (correctly) blasting Gov. Gavin Newsom for not heeding his advice on brush-clearing and ensuring adequate water was provided for in the area. Meanwhile, when asked why the fire hydrants ran out of water, the craven guv faulted anyone besides himself. "The local folks are gonna figure that out," he said.

That’s what passes as leadership in the Golden State, folks.

Meanwhile, the fire department has been called out for focusing on DEI and LGBTQ issues instead of, you know, firefighting. They threw millions at that effort despite Bass drastically cutting their overall budget.

Absolutely nobody looks good here.

LAFD Fire Chief Kristin Crowley, celebrated as the "first LGBTQ+" person to hold the position, has her own blame to cast: directly at city leaders. She was reluctant to turn on her bosses at first in this interview, but watch as she struggles with the question and then finally admits what we all know...
