Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley will remain employed by the fire department at a lower rank, the mayor says.
The 25-year LAFD veteran had faced criticism for his response to last month's Palisades fire.
Crowley had publicly expressed concerns about a $17.4 million cut to the department’s 2025 budget, which included reductions in overtime staffing.
Bass has appointed former Chief Deputy Ronnie Villanueva , a 41-year department veteran, as interim chief.
The fire chief was removed nearly three years after becoming the department’s first woman and LGBTQ fire chief.
Mayor Bass said she had been in “constant contact” with local, federal, and county officials.
LAFD says it followed the appropriate preparation protocols for the Palisades and Eaton wildfires.
