@dailymail: Los Angeles Fire Chief Kirsten Crowley criticized Mayor Karen Bass and the city's leadership during an interview with KTTV on Friday, claiming they had failed those affected by the fires and hindered the LA Fire Department's ability to effectively do its job. 'We are screaming to be properly funded to make sure that our firefighters can do their jobs so that we can serve the community,' Crowley said, adding that there were 'huge gaps' in firefighters' ability to tackle the blazes on the ground. Crowley also noted that the mayor's budget cuts for the LAFD had affected the firefight throughout Southern California, stating that the department was ‘not properly funded.’ She joins a growing chorus of high-profile figures who have criticized the city's handling of the ongoing wildfires, which have so far claimed 11 lives, ravaged communities, and sent thousands fleeing their properties.
