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.

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.
