…According to the Daily Mail, who initially reported that Crowley had been fired, “something” happened in the meeting that “changed” minds. “When she was summoned into the meeting, it was with the direct purpose to fire her,” their source said. “Whatever happened in that meeting, minds got changed.” The meeting came hours after Crowley had accused Bass of “failing” the fire department.

| #27 Re the Mayor and the Fire Chief, the chief's big job is to provide cover for the mayor. Bass knows that -nobody- is going to sign up for the job right now. And the assistant chiefs currently know better. |

| #26 Shhhhh… calm yourself, dear Elmaper+McGurque. The false alarm was yesterday. Those responsible should be drummed out of their jobs for it, no doubt, but that’s a problem for Future LA — current LA has more urgent concerns. |

| #23 Bass has ambitions on the Governorship after Newsome, and the deal seemed struck, nut now the damage to her political standing by the catastrophic fires has been enormous. Salvaging any hopes now was only worsened by the optics of firing the DEI LGBTQ-XYZ Fire Chief who has plenty of ammunition left to reveal about criminal incompetence. Bingo, post meeting political assessment and poof-unfiring and huge efforts to seem in charge and leader-like. But...15,000 homes gone and hundreds of billions in damage-even the best California political make-over visuals are selling! |

| #22 Remember all the reservoir dams the environmentalists breached to Free The Rivers. That Green agenda is likely responsible for a few 100,000 of acres of forest. |

| #19 Being the self serving people they are, one would *think* they would, at the least, keep the ultra rich celebrity neighborhood safe. But no, left their VIPs out to dry. Heard a rumor Tom Hanks' house, well one of his houses, went up. That would be some extra thick irony soup served with corn. |

| #17 I think one of the biggest differences between liberals and conservatives is that liberals are either unable or unwilling to perceive danger. Yesterday on KFI, John Kobylt revealed that Los Angeles last year spent $1.3 billion for the homeless but only $800 million for the fire department. That's what I mean. Their priorities are all wrong. They don't see the danger in all that dry brush in the canyons and on the hill sides where wildfires start. They either don't see it or they don't think anything can be done about it. But there are plenty of things that could be done if their priority was public safety instead of all the woke items on their agendas. Public safety should always be their number one priority. But how can they ensure public safety when they don't even recognize the threats that are staring them in the face? |

| #16 Mayor Bass doesn't want complaints or questions to distract from the important work of putting out a fire that shouldn't have happened in the first place. |

| #13 Funny you should say that, JohnQC. A petition started circulating yesterday demanding Mayor Bass's resignation. |

| #12 Now, Bass should resign for her failures. |

| #9 The United States does not have full extradition treaties with a number of nations. Like with Ukraine, and most African states to name a few. Has the O'Biden Regime & other guilty elites parties paved a escape route?? |
