“Families have been displaced, homes destroyed, and livelihoods shattered –- yet Mayor Bass has been absent from the frontlines, choosing to travel abroad while her constituents suffer,” reads the petition, which calls for “a full, transparent investigation into the failures in disaster preparedness, response, and resource allocation that left [LA] vulnerable.”

Bass slashed $17.6 million from the Los Angeles Fire Department’s budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year — which critics blasted as “a bad call.”

Nearly 130,000 Californians have been under evacuation orders, and 11 people have perished.
