A wise comment which will certainly not be weaponized against her during the next fire that occurs this season.

This is already a hit piece. The current interim chief is the former chief with decades of experience.

Yeah, sometimes I really have my doubts about Karen Bass' political instincts.

From Article: '''She made those comments on a Sunday morning appearance on CBS's "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," when Brennan asked her if she felt the city was prepared to handle another fire emergency without a permanent chief.

"No, no, I don't think that [the lack of a permanent chief is] a problem at all," Bass said. "Our interim fire chief has 40 years of experience. In fact, he had just recently retired. I called him in, out of retirement, during the fires. He was doing the emergency operation center. So he stepped in, didn't miss a beat by taking over the fire department. And we are prepared. We do know that it's fire season." '''

New "This is Fine" meme just dropped.

In all sincerity, I do hope for the sake of the people of LA that she's right.
