Firefighters demand that the fire chief of Los Angeles will be stopped

Here you can find full reporting on Firehouse.com via the California Fire Storm 2025, which began on January 7 near Los Angeles.

The Fallout on the fall of the fire chief of Los Angeles, Kristin Crowley, continues.

In addition to Union Firefighters, another organization – Los Angeles Women in the Fire Service – calls on that it will be set again.

Crowley was released on February 21 by Mayor Karen Bass, who criticized her dealings with the historical, fatal forest fires.

“It is a shame that the mayor does not support our fire brigade, because if she does not support our fire chief away from herself and tried to put it on Chief Kristin Crowley, Interim President of the Los Angeles Women in Fire in Fire Tanya Crabbe to Fox11 told .

“I have worked with Chief Crowley personally for many years and she is very supported by all ranks and files,” said the firefighter.

Both the women's organization and the local Iaff say that the mayor's claim that 1,000 firefighters were sent home at night when the fire of the Palisad was broken.

“All LAFD resources were fully occupied on January 7th. There were many firefighters who were ready to serve, but there was simply not enough additional operational fire engines available to be on duty to accommodate these members. No fire.

Freddy Escobar, President of the United Firefighters of Los Angeles City, agrees and recently told ABC7: “We had more firefighters who wanted to help when we had positions to take them. We didn't have the resources. To repair rescues or trucks that need a repair form.

Escobar said the mechanics were shortened as part of the city's budget, but the union was able to get some of these positions back, just not all of them.

“It is unacceptable. I mean that the residents of Los Angeles pay millions and millions of dollars to buy these fire engines and fire engines, but the repair page is on the city.

Firefighters say that bass' movement is an “inaccurate” and an obvious attempt to blame the guilt where he does not belong. “

Bass also claimed that Crowley had refused to make a report on the fatal flame.

The city councilor of Los Angeles, Traci Park, which Pacific Palisades represents, wrote in a statement after the boss was terminated: “From the day after the fire of the Palisades, I presented laws before analysis, not the LAFD that itself or The fire commission examined from political representatives.

The letter from the group of female firefighters come to the conclusion: “Chief Crowley has proven to be competent, complete professional and without question the most qualified person who leads the LAFD.”
