LAFD and DEI hiring practices

Los Angeles Fire Departmen gave priority to equity and inclusion and now the city is burning under the management of a DEI hire. They went woke and now they don´t even have working fire hydrants.

Boy, How's all the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion working out for you?! Quite honestly, I've been done with it since I saw it for what it was to begin with. If we treated everyone as Individuals to begin with instead of belonging to a certain Group and that they supposedly derive their "Rights" because of that Group, no one would be suffering the unintentional consequences subsequent to this today.

Did anyone honestly and really believe that anything was going to be any different from what Maui Residents suffered the consequences of?! Survey says; No way!

@Royricky09 You did say something about the chief though, on my other post. Instead of you celebrating the fire chief's accomplishments in life like commenting something positive, you asked what purpose I posted it.

This means you're not simply asking a question, it's highly likely you're a second profile of someone and it's also likely that you subscribe to the same views as people saying this fire chief was hired ONLY on DEI and not earned. This is why you are having an issue with understanding that the question I asked is solely meant for people who believe that someone else's accomplishments are only because of DEI.

So I'll ask you again, which I asked first by the way and you didn't answer, what have you earned in life?

@SatanBurger what relevance is it to the main post, your BLABBERINGS
SatanBurger · 36-40, FVIP
@BigGuy2 So in other words you have no accomplishments.

22 year veteran with experience as a Firefighter, Paramedic, Engineer, Fire Inspector, Captain I, Captain II, Battalion Chief, Assistant Chief, Deputy Chief, Chief Deputy, and Fire Chief.

Wow that's actually impressive. What have you done with your life dear? Inquiring minds want to know.

@Vin53 Better get 100 copies to start yourself off with at the rate you'll be giving them out on here...

What have you done with your life?

Here's the person it is talking about:

As a 22-year veteran of the LAFD, Chief Crowley has proven her credibility and character by promoting through the ranks. She served as a Firefighter, Paramedic, Engineer, Fire Inspector, Captain I, Captain II, Battalion Chief, Assistant Chief, Deputy Chief, Chief Deputy, and Fire Chief.

She has gained valuable experience in both field assignments on emergency apparatus and administrative duty in multiple areas within the Department. Before her appointment, she served as a Chief Officer for nine years as the Commander of Battalion 13 (South Los Angeles), Battalion 6 (San Pedro), the Professional Standards Division, Fire Prevention and Public Safety Bureau, and Administrative Operations.

Chief Crowley has been instrumental in the LAFD’s youth development program. She has served as the program director on two youth fire academies in the harbor and valley areas in the City. This program has trained over 1,000 LAUSD students from local high schools on the fundamentals of becoming a firefighter focusing on graduating from high school and having good citizenship.

She served as an executive board member for the Chief Officers’ Association and The Women in the Fire Service. Chief Crowley chairs the Fire Code Committee for Los Angeles and serves at the Los Angeles Fire Department Leadership Academy as a facilitator and instructor.

Creating, supporting, and promoting a culture that values diversity, inclusion, and equity while striving to meet and exceed the expectations of the communities are Chief Crowley’s priorities, and she is grateful for the opportunity to serve the City of Los Angeles.

Well, none of this true. But, your copy-and-paste skills are notable.
@MarkPaul It is true , but your gaslighting skills are notable. Keep dreaming.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Underconstruction None of it is true, but your dedication to misinformation is notable. Keep fantasizing.

Now, for a real story: In more DEI news, last year, Texas was freezing under their DEI hire of the Texas governor (in a wheel chair) who left the state without power as DEI elected Ted Cruz flew to Mexico to keep warm and blamed his kids. Although Texas has not experienced the cold weather that occurred last year (at least not yet), their DEI hires have done nothing to improve the Texas power griid. Meanwhile, the DEI elected Death DeSantis (he's super-short) has left the state of Florida with unaffordable home insurance policies.

Oh gawd........ here we go again. 🙄

It couldn't possibly be that mankind is partially to blame for his troubles. 🙄

For those who don't read books, or believe that scientists are conspiring against conservatives, the forest is supposed to burn, that's how nature cleans up the forest.

And for those who claim to be Conservative Christians, but have never read a Bible, God created the Earth to be self sustaining, and forest fires are a part of that process. Mankind is not supposed to be fighting fires, mankind is supposed to be a "steward of the Earth." We are supposed to be taking care of the environment. So it would seem to me that mankind is the problem here, by not letting the forest burn as God intended.

This is the Moral equivalent of Nero playing his fiddle while Rome burned...

@BigGuy2

God forbid if that's really happened, since there's going to be Hell to pay for that. If California Taxpayers and Consumers had educated themselves on the State Government's purpose and Economic Policy, LA County (and possibly other Regions) wouldn't be in the dire straits it's in at present nor would they ever have tolerated the appalling ignorance of the Political Indentured Servants.

We create the Monsters we eventually become afraid of...

@Broache73... i believe Trump spoke to reporters and stated that, he also stated that there were other of the same 'fish' in different places, no potentially not endangered ... but it's a fish - who gives a sh*t if it goes extinct

@Broache73 The celebrities are mad at Newsome now? All the great Diddy party venues burned down? He he he!

Actually, it's the LA mayor and state officials who are incompetent.

Pacific Palisades is NOT a forest. Neither is Altadena. Neither is Sylmar.

Geez Louise! Look at a map!

Geography 101.



The fire quickly spread south towards the Pacific Ocean, pushed by Santa Ana winds raging up to 80 mph.

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-01-09/he-was-the-first-to-report-the-palisades-fire-hes-still-battling-to-save-his-home

This is Altadena. It's just north of Pasadena and just east of the Rose Bowl.


The "Hurst Fire" started in Sylmar.

@beckyromero

What's all that green stuff I see at the edges of the cities?
Asparagus farms...? 🤔
beckyromero · 36-40, F
@Thinkerbell

I doubt you have any idea how fast an URBAN fire driven by 80 mph winds moves in an area dried out by drought.

(I know that from my own city's history, whether it was the cow knocking over the lantern that started it or not).

But, apparently, you think a bulldozer can move faster. 😂

[media=https://youtu.be/3lrd2jspHHA]

Hey, here's an idea. Maybe you'd like to drive a bulldozer in darkened canyons? 😂

Unfortunately you suffer the consequences of your choices
Hopefully we learn from their mistakes
Hopefully this will teach that you must higher by qualifications only but i doubt it

That's because they're unqualified for the position.

Well you heard it on TV, so it must be true.
Wireman · 31-35, M
This happens in most countries, is their plan working!
BigGuy2 · 31-35, M
@Wireman the 'Loony Left' ... that's a phrase that's been around since the '80's
Wireman · 31-35, M
@BigGuy2 even then it was used by oeoole not knowing the truth. Now it is getting out of hand.

@MarkPaul

Huh? I thought Trump was blaming Obama when they were talking today at Carter's funeral.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@beckyromero Oh, yes. Well, can't they both be at fault? You know, as a backup.
@beckyromero
Their hiring practices have NOTHING to do with lack of water pressure and power outages to pump water


What?

You are hired to make decisions and prepare for the worst
