  • In an interview, she confirmed the city had failed the department, particularly referencing the empty Santa Ynez Reservoir that is crucial for firefighting efforts.
  • Crowley stated firefighters rely on having water available when responding to emergencies and emphasized the need for the city to ensure hydrants have a sufficient supply.
  • Despite initial reports of her dismissal by the Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, official statements later confirmed that Crowley remains in command of the LAFD.
  • The chief reiterated that LAFD is focused on combating the wildfires and protecting lives and property in Los Angeles.
