Council rejects Kristin Crowley’s bid and backs decision of mayor, who said firing was in best interest of public safety

The former fire chief in Los Angeles, Kristin Crowley, failed to regain her job on Tuesday after she was ousted by Mayor Karen Bass last month following the most destructive wildfires in the city’s history.

Crowley made her case to the LA city council on Tuesday for why she believes her firing was unwarranted, to which the council voted 13-2 to reject the proposal and back Bass’s decision.
