To the editor: How can holding a hearth chief chargeable for poor decision-making result in a possible taxpayer-funded bonanza for her legal professionals (“Ousted L.A. hearth chief claims Bass ran a misinformation marketing campaign, defamed her to avoid wasting herself,” Aug. 20)? The Los Angeles Occasions’ personal investigative reporting uncovered the reality. She reportedly had “roughly 1,000 obtainable firefighters and dozens of water-carrying engines” that might and will have been pre-deployed. The short response of those hearth crews and tools to identify fires may have made all of the distinction. The climate info offered to the hearth chief was her obligation to behave upon. Kristin Crowley’s demotion is totally justified.
