One second she says having 1000 engines wouldn’t make a difference in a fire this big. Next second she says that yes having the military involved is great because any help makes a big difference.

Exactly! Let me interview one of you at your workplace and start asking you if you think the company has good policies and is the management competent.
After watching this interview I now know exactly why neighborhoods in West LA burned with no water in the fire hydrants, this interview made it crystal clear

" The government you elect is the government you deserve". Thomas Jefferson! CA. you elected them!
😮how dare you women are just as capable as men, even though they aren’t as strong, focused, competent or… what was I talking about, oh yeah DEI is amazing 😂😂😂😂
Listen I don't care about your sexual orientation. I think people right now in California want somebody who's confident and can do the job. You could have aired this to the world about budget cuts and shame the hell out of California government. But you didn't. So there is leadership failure on your part as well.
I agree! Having contingency plans for stuff like this should be PRIORITY NUMBER ONE and had she done this she'd have certainly known about the critical supply of water available and taken this concern right up the chain. She's either completely incompetent, horribly irresponsible or she's going to extraordinary lengths to cover for the Progressive big shots who put her in charge.
@gregj831 I'm just very angry right now. This has been going on for years. And sadly this is have to come to this point to do something about it. This is something that can be agreed upon across party lines. Yeah properties will burn down. But death is prominent okay.
The OVERALL budget for LAFD is $820M. You mean to tell me that they cant put out wildfires with that amount of money!? Crowley put more emphasis on idealogical retooling than firefighting efficiency.
If her number one concern was the citizens of L.A. to provide all these services then she has done a really crappy job!! And why does Crowley not ask tougher questions, her acting of concern is a joke!!
Even now she is protecting the mayor and Governor. Basically she lacks guts to take them on. Keep in mind her salary was 84,000 vs the woman hired to make sure water was adequate got 750,000. Justine Bateman is right. Would you hire a plumber based on gender, race, politics, or would you only care if the person is competent.?
It's their plan. Rig elections to install woke officals who then appoint DEI activists into positions of power, and when things fall apart blame someone else for their failures.
If you look at any interview she gave when she got the job, she never once says anything about fighting fires. A fire chief who's goal is not to fight fires is gonna fail.
What do people think happens to fire hydrant water pressure when you have a thousand house fires where the home’s water lines break? Maybe you think the size of water pipes is unlimited?
DEI hire. First female chief of a major fire department. But, out of the three responsible, Newsom and the Mayor, she is the least responsible. BUT she IS still responsible for what has happened. This is what DEI gets you. Lesser leadership.

There used to be fire. Roads after the fires in the 60s then. People said let it grow. No more fire breaks breaks. So this what happens. It was so windy Tuesday no way. Fire department was going to stop it. She just trying to pad retirement it a beautiful area they will rebuild 😊
What was the prediction from surveys on forest growth data & the impact of changes in the local weather patterns? Did it provide at-least with some degree of accuracy the population areas under high risk? Was such data considered before making the budget cuts to fire departments? Which pet projects are soaking up the money collected from such high tax rates? Once the immediate crisis is over, this has to be investigated.
But you can predict the wind storm a week in advance and deploy the necessary resources: shut down power, deploy Police and Fire Engines at known ignition sites ready to go. Declare a curfew if necessary. Basically protect the public and do what we pay them for
Forestry management is a huge issue also. There has to be controlled burning in an environment like LA. Every other state that has a major metropolitan next to wilderness does controlled burns. I live on the east coast and volunteer for controlled burning here in the south east. Cali people I’m so sorry your leadership is so evil. So much has been lost and never to come back for many. It’s absolutely criminal!
I was an Arizona State Parks ranger for 15 years and sadly, have seen my fair share of fires. I have also been a serious mountain biker since before they were called mountain bikes. Since I haven't owned a car for years & years & years and have to ride through ALL weather conditions day after day, I can finally say at age 65 and having been a member of most major political parties, WITH AUTHORITY: 1) US - It is not the politicians. IT'S US! WE are the ones who can't relax our grip on a convenient lifestyle, NO MATTER HOW HIGH THE COST, and we'll vote for ANYONE who tells us they'll fix it. 2) PHYSICS - Until you've attempted to extinguish a wildfire yourself, or tried administering a "controlled burn", you do not even possess a FAINT notion of the power of high winds.... or ANY wind. Add to that the sheer PHYSICS of trying to move that much water uphill during multiple simultaneous catastrophic events which require shutting off power to pumps even as water lines are being severed in the destruction and, well if that needs explanation, you're just exposing your own stupidity. sorry 3) GETTING HOTTER - I don't really care who you vote for or actually, ANYTHING about you. I keep to myself. I'm that old guy you've seen riding a mountain bike down the street since you were a kid. Call it "climate change", or a "hoax", or whatever you want... don't matter - IT'S GETTING HOTTER.
Thanks to Prop 13 which “.. had (by 2009) reduced taxes paid by California taxpayers by an aggregate $528 billion. That money would have bought a lot of preparation and capability.
This woman should be out of a job. Anyone that places higher priority on hiring unqualified, DEI firefighters over disaster preparedness does NOT deserve to be in the Chief's role. She is a DEI FAILURE.
This fires chief attempting to side step giving direct truthful responses to the questions here, suggests she is covering for the mismanagement of LA and for herself regarding diversity. Time for a new fire chief.
Now people are gonna wake up and realize when an organization focuses on DEI, instead of real progress towards solutions to future problems, this can be the result. DEI directly contributed to this disaster. LAFD has an ENTIRE BUREAU dedicated to DEI. an entire BUREAU!
California would have had more money in their pocket if they had taxed the Hollywood industry along with the music industry. These industries make and the the individuals that work within these industries, make billions of dollars. A lot of water is allocated to the farmland.
She doesn’t seem worried or concerned about taking responsibility. Football coaches take full responsibility in game press conferences immediately after the fact. This lady takes zero accountability.
Why don’t they create a National Fire Force that would create 50-100 or more multi-use planes that would deluge masses of water or foam or whatever to put out fires
Great idea, however these simpletons ought to start with the basics first, like having water available for the hydrants! Who needs water when you have rainbows. smh....
She’s not answering simple questions with simple answers. Even going against what she said just a month ago. Leadership is about taking accountability. I don’t care if she was a DEI hire, she needs to be truthful to her own statement. This interview makes her look like a failure.
Yes, she does sound like a politician, HOWEVER, the hate towards her, based upon her sex, on this thread is incredible. There’s not a city or county in this country that could’ve fought a 30-50 mph wind driven wildland/urban interface fire like LA had to do. And all the people screaming now about the budget were happy when the budget was first cut. There’s no water system in this country that could’ve handle the demand placed upon LA’s system that night. Noah is stupid. Just like a mass casualty incident, fire commanders had to triage which communities they could save. Or whether to put life safety over property safety (which isn’t even a question-life safety first). DEI had nothing to do with the way this fire was fought. Males still make-up 98% of the departments in that area. So stop with the RW, Fox “News” bs.
Anyone ever had their local first responder sound like a politician? Because this is a first for me
Im on a FD and our Chief is def more of a politician than a Chief, Wont have our backs
The interviewer led her that way.
This is all very sickening
Anyone who is in charge and ends up in an interview like that has to be mindful that their Job and career are on the line. American reporters rarely seem to be interested in what happens to the Interviewee after the interview.
“1000 engines would not make a difference” next sentence “any additional resource makes a huge difference”
I just said the same thing then saw your comment and realized you said it first.
just like harris just hot air going in a circle

Good catch!
WTAF do her priorities have to do with the question of not having water?! She sounds like a politician not a fire chief.
One second she says having 1000 engines wouldn’t make a difference in a fire this big. Next second she says that yes having the military involved is great because any help makes a big difference.
She is not LA fire chief. The way she answers questions is 100% textbook politician.
She cashed the big salary as fire chef though.
This is all one huge sordid mess.

Los Angeles was more concerned about having alphabet people in the fire department then actual fire fighters.
It caught up with them in a big bad way
Yeah I noticed that and a lot of them just seemed to be going through the motions and not getting stressed by the fire.
ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE UTTER FAILURES!!! No matter what they say to spin it. IT IS THEIR FAILURE
Yes, very sad...but what a catastrophic event for people...very poor response to this fire....MISMANAGEMENT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM..
You just had to know all of this Woke BS was bound to catch up with those Cultists and sure enough, disaster came calling.
Feast your eyes on DEI. California wanted this.
She reminds me of that secret service director Cheatle, all the excuses, hanging on to her reputation, position, and paycheck with all 20 claws.
You mean just like Trump?
No water! What is the name of the HMFIC of public works? There wasn't even enough water to get started fighting the fires!
What's that ocean full of i wonder?
Maybe instead of Newsom communist agenda they could build desalination plants
She can't answer honestly without losing her job.
She is around the bush.
Exactly! Let me interview one of you at your workplace and start asking you if you think the company has good policies and is the management competent.
They're not capable. She needs to be gone.

This is what happens from largesse and the capitulation of commonsense and morals.
This is a natural disaster. How is it the governments fault?
Fighting a fire next to the largest body of water on the planet and saying you ran out of water? Someone smarter clue me in.
CC me on that workflow too. Thanks

@@neglectsounddoes salt make fires worse?
If I’m stuck in a house on fire… send a man … do not send a woman to save me
😮how dare you women are just as capable as men, even though they aren’t as strong, focused, competent or… what was I talking about, oh yeah DEI is amazing 😂😂😂😂
how about not sending anyone!
Obviously you don't need to be saved.

Can any of us imagine the magnitude of the lawsuits that will coming from the Pacific Palisades community.
@gregj831
Cases would have to be brought to the Supreme Court, as I'm sure the State Judiciary is going to cover their own interests.
arrest her for dereliction of duties and deaths...
DEI is a disaster!
She also needs to be gone
If her number one concern was the citizens of L.A. to provide all these services then she has done a really crappy job!! And why does Crowley not ask tougher questions, her acting of concern is a joke!!
Imagine that! Woke policy leads to failed response. Wow! I bet the few men left in Ukraine appreciate all your firefighting supplies.
You had ONE JOB, Chief. And you failed.
You need to resign, Chief.
What did she fail to do? Stop the wind?
Too much estrogen in government and leadership positions these days.
Good one!!😂😂😂😂
I thought she was interviewing the fire-chief not a political spin-doctor.
Apparently you were not ready !!
Nice pictures with water coming out of hoses. Damage control while your department lets the city burn. What a incompetent fire chief.
Even now she is protecting the mayor and Governor. Basically she lacks guts to take them on. Keep in mind her salary was 84,000 vs the woman hired to make sure water was adequate got 750,000. Justine Bateman is right. Would you hire a plumber based on gender, race, politics, or would you only care if the person is competent.?
Crowley's salary was more than 650K...where did you get $84,000?
When you send all money to some random European country, you don’t have money for your own citizens.
“ non essential duties cut”…. Shouldn’t that be DEI initiatives…😏 FACT
She is trying to create blame and chaos! Shameful !
She blinks like 100 times per minute
She is nervous. 😬
Delusional incompetents . All these idiots MUST go . Resign or go to jail - no more excuses .
FYI. You FAILED the public.
#1 priority should be the safety of the PUBLIC and protection of life and property.
Does every mangement position in govt in Ca have to be a DEI hire ?
It's their plan. Rig elections to install woke officals who then appoint DEI activists into positions of power, and when things fall apart blame someone else for their failures.
Number 1 priority has 3 priorities, and naving reservoirs filled not on this list
If you look at any interview she gave when she got the job, she never once says anything about fighting fires. A fire chief who's goal is not to fight fires is gonna fail.
Mrs Crowley has spent far too much time in her own echo chamber.
What do people think happens to fire hydrant water pressure when you have a thousand house fires where the home’s water lines break? Maybe you think the size of water pipes is unlimited?
DEI kills.
Look at her record it’s outstanding!
You should be ashamed of your incompetence
DEI 😮

AT THIS POINT, SHE SHOULD NEVER USE THE PHRASE "I CAN GUARANTEE".
Oooh! I love me a DEI parade.
“Have you ever seen something like this in your life?” What a terrible question. NOBODY has seen anything like this?!
She said it like 100 times. Annoying because wtf wants to see something of this nature.
No matter what you failed .......
Who the heck is this guy??? He’s unlistenable!!!
Yes, he certainly has difficulty in putting coherent sentences together. Hits the buzz words and looks very pleased with doing that.
Everything is gone but they're diversified.
Taking and answering questions when your communities are burning to the ground is all you need to know. A word salad of nothingness.
You are trying to make excuses ! WORSE FIRE IN L.A 🔥 ?? ARE YOU KIDDING ?. RESINE SWEETY !!
Resign
At this point because of the human fatalities they're actually also criminally negligent

Stay Safe Fire Warriors and Come Home to MaMa ❤️
She had money to hire DEI personnel...and start a DEI program with a manager that gets paid 100s of thousands of dollars.
Pure DEI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CROWLEY needs to go. PERIOD
The chief's answers seem very scripted, with her own job preservation in mind, as she speaks.
She is right about a 1000 firetrucks. 1 firetruck supplied with water can fight fire better than 100000 without.
Another DEI success story
she is DEI pick, including mayor and governor need to go.
Every agency needs to start doing with a little less- While Buddy sends billions out of our country and his invasion (A trillion-dollar mess.)

OMG 😮
BLM needed the money. Sorry Fire Department. BLM is more important.
Wonder why she didn't say, "Nobody could have foreseen this."
how dare she blame the community. it is not her job to evacuate. her job is to put out fires. what a total joke of a person.
Chief Crowley has on many occasions stated how she puts a greater focus on hiring “diversity” then she does other issues she is responsible for.
There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for this abominable lack of contingency planning.
shes one of them.
I'm a black woman and I think this DEI mess is killing out country!🤦🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️
Look at the video and see how dangerous the Palm Tree is to the spread of fire. If the Palm Tree was not planted the spread would be reduced.
I’m sure the DEI initiative she imposed isint helping either

Meanwhile Mr green T-shirt is laughing all the way to the bank😂
This " chief" is not qualified to be dog catcher.
she is talking out both sides of her mouth using both sides of the coin she doesnt make sense complete incompetence
