La alcaldesa Karen Bass ha destituido a la jefa del Departamento de Bomberos de Los Ángeles, Kristin Crowley. Bass ha criticado a Crowley por la falta de preparación y la mala gestión de la respuesta de la ciudad a los incendios forestales, y dijo que el departamento necesita un nuevo liderazgo.

Los Angeles

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has removed Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley, citing a need for new leadership amidst the city's challenges in wildfire response. Crowley, the first female fire chief of Los Angeles, faced criticism from Mayor Bass for her alleged lack of preparation and mishandling of the emergency services during recent wildfires. 

The decision comes shortly after a devastating natural disaster affected the U.S., with Bass stating that public safety was the primary concern for her decision. While Crowley had warned about the impact of severe budget cuts on the fire department's ability to respond to large-scale emergencies, Mayor Bass asserted that the fire department was not subjected to budget reductions. 

Approximately 1,000 firefighters, who could have been deployed to combat the wildfires, were reportedly sent home during the crisis, a fact Bass noted contributed to the firing decision. However, there remains contention regarding the timing of Crowley's removal, as Mayor Bass had previously stated there were no immediate plans to dismiss her during the emergency. 

Mayor Bass's actions and decision-making during the crisis have been scrutinized, especially given her absence on a trip to Ghana during the critical period. Despite the termination, Kristin Crowley has chosen to exercise her civil service rights, enabling her to continue with the department, albeit at a lower rank.



El alcalde de Los Ángeles destituye al jefe del cuerpo de bomberos

pocas semanas después de una de las peores catástrofes naturales de la historia de EE. UU. En alcalde de la ciudad, la responsabilidad es mía. El asediado alcalde de Los Ángeles Karen Bass tomó medidas contra la asediada jefa de bomberos de la ciudad Kristen Crowley, actuando en el mejor interés de la seguridad pública de Los Ángeles. Acabo de conocer con la jefa Crowley y la destituí como jefa de bomberos. Fueron unos pocos los que tuvieron escalado. Incluso sus llamas seguían consumiendo miles de hogares en Pacific Palisades en el lado oeste de Los Angeles. El Jefe Crowley había hecho público un memo interno advirtiendo que los severos recortes presupuestarios afectarían a los bomberos la capacidad del departamento para responder a emergencias a gran escala, como los incendios forestales. salvajes. ¿Se recortó el presupuesto? Sí, se recortó y afectó a nuestra capacidad de prestar el servicio. Permítanme ser claro sobre el presupuesto. El departamento de bomberos no fue recortado. El alcalde Bass dijo que el despido es en interés de la seguridad pública. ¿Qué hizo ella específicamente para poner en peligro la seguridad pública? Bueno, como yo mencionado, 1000 bomberos que podrían haber estado en el trabajo luchando contra los incendios fueron enviados a casa. Así que sabíamos que los 1000 bomberos podrían haber sido llamados en el día después del incendio. ¿Que cambio? ¿Qué cambió? Porque dijiste que no planeaban despedirla el 11 de enero mientras Los Angeles estaba en llamas. Después de eso, tuvimos lluvias. No iba a hacer nada mientras estuviéramos en un estado de emergencia. Alcalde Bass también trató de desviar las críticas acerca de por qué ella estaba en un viaje a Ghana durante el incendio, a pesar de las advertencias de vida vientos que amenazaban la vida y el peligro extremo de incendio días antes de que se encendiera. Siempre que había una emergencia de incendio, una emergencia meteorológica o un indicio de un problema, me contactado directamente. ¿Viste alguna de las previsiones antes de ir a Ghana? No. Todo esto marca un giro impresionante para L. A. S. Primera mujer jefe de bomberos cesada por L. A. S. Primera alcaldesa elegida. Tras la noticia conferencia, la oficina del alcalde fue informada de que el ex jefe ha ejercido sus derechos de servicio civil para permanecer con el departamento de bomberos, pero en un rango inferior.
