LAFD Bravest demand fire chief resign in blistering letter: ‘Best for the citizens of LA’
As containment of the deadly Los Angeles wildfires continues to grow, the heat remains on the city’s embattled fire chief — who is reportedly facing intensifying calls to resign as Mayor Karen Bass revealed plans for an external probe into the department’s handling of the devastating infernos.
The Eaton Fire is 73% contained while the Palisades Fire is 43% suppressed as of Saturday, according to Cal Fire. At least 27 people have died and thousands of structures have been reduced to ashes since the historic fires broke out earlier this month.
Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley was the subject of a blistering five-page letter from current and retired LAFD Bravest demanding she step aside immediately after failing to properly manage its response to the destructive wildfires, according to NewsNation, which obtained a copy of the letter earlier this week.
“If you had done things right and prepared the LAFD for an incident of this magnitude, fatalities would have been reduced, and property would have been saved,” stated the letter, which added that her resignation “would be best for the citizens of Los Angeles.”
