Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is touting the support of some top officials for her firing of Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley, while others including the head of fire department’s union and at least one City Council member are assailing the mayor’s unusual move.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass fired Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Chief Kristen Crowley following weeks of tensions about how the deadly L.A. wildfires were handled.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has removed Kristin Crowley as the city’s fire chief and has appointed former Chief Deputy Ronnie Villanueva to serve as interim chief.
