Crowley, the first woman to serve as LAFD's Chief, was fired by Mayor Karen Bass on Feb. 21 after almost three years in the role.

Los Angeles City Council upholds Mayor Bass's decision to oust Fire Chief Crowley amid controversy over wildfire response and funding.

Former Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley lost an appeal to get her old job back in a hearing Tuesday before the City Council that included the 25-year department veteran’s first extensive public comments about the events that led to her firing.
