NegativeU.S News

- Battalion Chief Kenneth Cook expressed dissatisfaction with modifications made to a key report on the Palisades fire, which he believes weakened its findings. His complaints were directed to Mayor Karen Bass's office shortly after the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) publicly released the report in mid-November.
- This situation highlights the internal conflicts within the LAFD and raises questions about the integrity of the fire report, which is crucial for understanding the department's response to the Palisades fire and addressing community concerns.
- The ongoing scrutiny of the LAFD's handling of fire incidents, including discrepancies in claims about 'cold trailing' during the Lachman fire, reflects broader issues of accountability and transparency in emergency management, further complicating Mayor Bass's recovery efforts in the aftermath of the Palisades fire.
