Karen Bass a annoncé, vendredi, avoir mis fin aux fonctions de Kristin Crowley, qu’elle accuse d’avoir mal géré les feux qui ont ravagé la mégalopole, au début de janvier.
The Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, has dismissed Kristin Crowley, the chief of the fire department, citing poor management of January 2024 wildfires that caused 29 deaths and extensive damage. The mayor criticized Crowley for sending 1,000 firefighters home on the day the fires began, contributing to the crisis. Public outcry also arose over water shortages during firefighting efforts. The wildfires, the most destructive in the city's history, were exacerbated by climate change, with factors including reduced rainfall, dried vegetation, and winter Santa Ana winds.
