As I predicted, these resumes don't mean crap. Not worth the paper they are written on. I think I've proven my point.
LAFD Deputy Chief Slammed After Blaming Fire Victims for Being in ‘Wrong Place’
Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Deputy Chief Kristine Larson was criticized over remarks made in a video, blaming victims for being in the “wrong place” during a fire.
Larson, who heads the Equity and Human Resources Bureau for the LAFD spoke about concerns from people regarding whether female firefighters are strong enough to carry a man out of a burning building, stating that if she has to carry him out of the fire, “he got himself in the wrong place.”
Resume and experience:
Kris Larson is a 32-year veteran of the Los Angeles City Fire Department (LAFD) and currently holds the rank of assistant chief. In her early career, she held the rank of fire inspector and subsequently was the first African American woman to be promoted to the rank of Captain I, Captain II, battalion chief and assistant chief in the history of the LAFD. Larson also was the first African American woman to serve as drill master for the Fire Academy. Her current assignment with the LAFD is starting the new Equity Division. Larson earned her bachelor’s degree in sociology from UCLA. She went on to graduate summa cum laude from Capella University with a master’s degree in public service leadership with an emphasis in emergency management. She is completing a DEI certification program through Cornell University. Larson serves as president of Los Angeles Women in the Fire Service. Larson is a founding member of Equity in Fire, which is a grassroots coalition of firefighters, civil rights leaders and community members that works to achieve equity and an end to discrimination in the fire service. In 2022, Larson was awarded the Rosa Parks Humanitarian Award from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Southern California for her work with Equity in Fire.Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment

Yeah, I've watched them. How many Navy Seals are women? Zero. I said they weren't as good as men. That hasn't changed. There are exceptional women that are qualified to be a fire fighter but I haven't seen any in Los Angeles. Nothing but short, fat lesbians.Last edited by BillyCarpenter; 01-13-2025, 02:45 PM.Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment

I'm addicted to following the Los Angeles fire. Addicted to all the incompetence. It's staggering. Look, I knew that Cali was fucked but not this fucked up. When I post these articles, it almost sounds unbelievable. But its not.Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment
