As a disastrous fire continues to burn on the city’s west side, some are calling Chief Kristin Crowley to account: Why wasn’t the city better prepared?

Firefighters made progress on the more than 10,000-acre Hughes Fire Friday, which sent thousands fleeing after sparking near the Los Angeles County community of Castaic a day earlier.

The fire chief spoke at a press briefing with Mayor Karen Bass after her supposed ouster. The department said claims of her firing are false.

Eaton fire erupted, according to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department. On Jan. 21, the Los Angeles County medical examiner confirmed he died from smoke inhalation and burn injuries in his home on the 200 block of Wapello Street.
