“Lawsuit against LAFD calling for fair pay, proper staffing reignited following wildfires”

“A 2023 lawsuit calling for fair pay and proper staffing in the Los Angeles Fire Department has been reignited following the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires that left 29 people dead. 

When the wildfires erupted in Southern California a few weeks ago, local leaders faced criticism for their responsibility in the understaffing and underfunding of the fire department. Attorneys and firefighters from the February 2023 lawsuit held a news conference Tuesday, hoping to advance their issues ahead of an LA City Council meeting to ensure firefighters are being paid fairly.”
