Incompetent mayor Karen Bass needed a scapegoat for her failures, and she found one in the LA fire chief after she Slammed her earlier today.
The Daily Mail reported that Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley was summoned by Bass at a meeting Friday afternoon and was canned shortly thereafter.
“Kristin was summoned by Bass this afternoon, about 4 pm. She came back from that meeting, hugged her staff goodbye, and left. She said she was fired,” the source told the outlet.
This news comes right after Crowley spoke out against Bass’s failed leadership and said the city of LA failed its people.
‘My message is the fire department needs to be properly funded,” Crowley told FOX LA. “It’s not.”
When FOX LA asked if Bass and the city failed her, Crowley replied: “Yes.”

But as TGP readers know, Bass is the one who slashed Fire Department funding by $17.6 million a few months before the fires erupted on Tuesday and ran off to Ghana will the city burned.
Several individuals have lost their homes, entire livelihoods, and even their lives over the past several hours as the fire shows no signs of abating. Meanwhile, firefighters have limited water to fight the fires thanks to politicians pouring water from previous rain even into the ocean.
The fire would not have been so severe had California politicians led by Bass utilized common sense solutions such as clearing out the dead brush in the woods, ensuring the Fire Department had the necessary funding, and filling the state’s depleted aquifers with water.
Bass’s office screamed ‘fake news’ upon seeing the Daily Mail report.
“The Mayor and Chief met. The priority remains fighting these fires and protecting Angelenos.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
