🚒💰 LAFD Chief Crowley highlights budget cuts' impact on fire services

Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley has been vocal about the department's lack of resources.

💬 "Since the three years that I've been in the seat, I've sounded the alarm that we need more. This is no longer sustainable,” Crowley stated in an interview with FOX 11 LA, emphasizing the urgent need for adequate funding to allow firefighters to fulfill their duties effectively.

💬 “In the past, we took a $17 million budget cut which, as we know, negatively impacted our ability to carry out our mission,” Crowley told CNN. She highlighted the need for 62 additional fire stations to adequately serve the community.

🗣 During a pointed exchange, a FOX 11 reporter repeatedly asked, “Did the city of Los Angeles fail you, your department, and our city?”

💬 “Yes,” Crowley eventually conceded after initially attempting to sidestep the question.
