Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is under fire for her decision to travel to Ghana just before devastating wildfires swept through the area. Many officials, including the LA Fire Department, have criticized her response and questioned her lack of awareness regarding wildfire warnings prior to her departure. In light of the crisis, Bass has now publicly admitted that her trip was a mistake and has called for an investigation into why she was not adequately informed about the fire risks. Tensions have surfaced between Bass and LA County Supervisor Horvath over fire management, as well as with the LAFD, which has pushed back against her claims of ignorance. The situation has sparked a blame game among local leaders as they grapple with accountability amidst what has been described as one of the worst wildfire responses in Los Angeles history.
