(The Center Square) – The former Los Angeles fire chief is suing Mayor Karen Bass for defamation related to the devastating Palisades Fire.
Kristin Crowley was removed from her position on Feb. 21, 2025, weeks after the blaze began. The fire, which hit the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles and nearby communities such as Malibu, burned 23,448 acres, destroyed 6,833 structures and killed 12 people.
