During the change of text on January 6, Park Crowley informed that the Los Angeles Emergency Operations Center would be activated the next day “at level 3 (lowest level with EMD employees).

“If the conditions increase the EOC status to us, we have to stay in close contact,” wrote Parks, an obvious reference to Crowley and Los Angeles Police Department Chef Jim McDonnell.

Crowley partially replied: “I will be available to discuss all the necessary measures with you both if necessary.”

In a briefing from EMD City Leadership on January 6th it was found that the weather that was forecast for Los Angeles from the following day: “This windstorm event could lead to potentially life-threatening and destructive effects, which are similar in the extent of the 2011 Pasadena Storma.”

“Everything else you can send us, we'll take it.”

The next morning, in the hours after sunrise, text messages show that the office of the city council president of Los Angeles Marqueeece Harris-Dawson had made the LAFD “about the weather event”.

Harris-Dawson was served as a reigning mayor since Mayor Karen Bass was in Ghana at that time.

“I informed him about our efforts in our preparatory efforts. Our needs for additional resources also,” said Crowley said.

“Chief Leonard, please guess Matt to contact the corresponding council offices to ensure that you are properly informed about our willingness for the weather event”

When the fires in Los Angeles broke out about an hour and a half later, the text messages showing the concerns.

At 10:33 a.m., the deputy deputy Orin Saunders Crowley wrote a LAFD alarm that shows that a brush fire had broken out in the Pacific Palisades area.

“Two brush fire in the city. Palisades and Hollywood,” wrote Crowley to someone at 10:35 a.m.

“Now over the staff,” she wrote a SMS parks minutes later. “I would recommend level 2.”

Parks replied: “EOC employees have some concerns that we have two fires.”

At 11:27 a.m., Crowley sent a message to a person who was identified as Matt Hernandez, and asked for “Harris-Dawsons number”.

“I just asked him for his phone number and he said he would call you,” replied Hernandez.

Six minutes later, Parks wrote to Crowley: “The EOC needs guidance. Please advise you who from your department can react to the EOC as quickly as possible”, with Crowley replied that a boss was on the road.

“Everything else you can send us will take it,” wrote Crowley to firefighters in neighboring counties at 12:02 p.m. “started to lose houses and people.”

At 2:27 p.m. Crowley wrote a fire brigade: “Can you send me number … of resources and types that were assigned to the incident with Palisades?”

At 3 p.m., Crowley received a text: “Marqueeece here boss. At command posts that establish themselves with a connection.”

Hours later at 7:19 p.m. Parks made an SMS: “EOC directors recommend that we switch to level 1” and adds that the status of level 1 would start the next morning.

At 7:22 p.m., Janisse Quiñones, Chief Executive Officer from Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Crowley, asked whether “we can certainly access this point” and added that “we were evacuated before installing a Reg station” and otherwise “we will have the water more in about 2 hours.”

The Ministry of Water and Power is currently facing a complaint by the Pacific Palisades residents, in which it is claimed that it is not prepared for a fire of this kind. The agency previously said ABC News that it did not comment on legal disputes.

“I haven't been fired”

In the days after the first outbreak of the Palisad, Crowley received numerous signs of support.

“Get mixed messages about your future employment. If you need expert statements in the future, or simply a Jersey type to get out and straighten things with the pols, you have my number,” wrote an unidentified person on January 11th.

“Nice to hear from you,” replied Crowley. “I was not fired. Thank you for looking for me.”

Mayor Bass would fire Crowley on February 21. Crowley decided to downgrade the public service into a lower rank and appealed to her discharge. The Los Angeles City Council is expected to discuss the personnel matter on Tuesday. The Council can overwrite the step of bass to cancel the boss.

Crowley needs 10 votes from city council members so that their calling has been approved.
