Incoming LAFD chief on her historic appointment: 'Now it's about action'
Manage episode 321443130 series 2883433
The Los Angeles Fire Department is facing a history-making shift with Mayor Eric Garcetti nominating Deputy Chief Kristin Crowley to serve as the first female head of the force. Crowley opens up to host Giselle Fernandez about taking on the role and says she is ready to implement big changes to address accusations of sexism and racial bias within the LAFD. Crowley has held nearly every position within the department and has a habit of creating many career firsts: She was the first female fire marshal of the LAFD and will be the first paramedic to hold the role of fire chief. As a wife, mother and member of the LGBTQ community, Crowley knows young people will look up to her and hopes her legacy will live on long after she has retired.
