Megyn Kelly has accused Los Angeles‘ female fire chief of ‘focusing on diversity’ instead of planning for disaster.
The former Fox journalist slammed Kristin Crowley for prioritizing DEI training over preparing for wildfires.
Her comments come as the City of Angels has been engulfed a series of deadly blazes, which have so far killed two people and blitzed through more than 11,800 acres.
The wildfires are being fueled by Santa Ana winds of up to 60mph, which Kelly described as ‘predictable’.
‘In recent years LA’s fire chief has made not filling the fire hydrants top priority. but diversity,’ she fumed on The Megyn Kelly Show. ‘Diversity is at least among the top priorities for the Department.’
She referenced an interview in which Crowley expressed her desire to boost the number of women and LGBTQ+ people in the fire service.
‘Who gives a s**t if the fire chief is gay I’m sorry but who gives a flying fig about who she likes to sleep with can you fight the f**king fires madam that’s the relevant question,’ Kelly continued
‘We don’t care about your lady parts and we don’t care who you want having access to them can you fight fires can you make sure there’s water in the fire hydrants?’

She added that Crowley should have been more prepared given that Ventura County is currently experiencing a huge drought.
‘I don’t care who turns you on and you know why they have only a hundred women in a in a squad of 3,300?’ Kelly asked.
‘Women tend to be small smaller and not as strong and unless you lower the requirements to become a firefighter most women can’t pass the test trust me.’
She described Crowley’s push for inclusivity as ‘an absurdity’ and mocked her previous comments about how she has trained staff
‘I don’t give a s**t about how you’re taking care of somebody inside the firehouse, take care of me and my home and my kids and my animals when thefires hit, that’s your real job,’ Kelly raged.
The ongoing fire currently devastating the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles is now the most destructive in the state’s history.
After officials counted over 1,000 structures being destroyed in the inferno, it quickly overtook the second-most destructive – 2008’s Sayre Fire.
Statistics kept by the Wildfire Alliance indicate the Sayre Fire destroyed 604 structures in Sylmar, the northernmost suburb of the city.

At least two people have been killed and dozens more injured since the wildfires began on Tuesday
The wildfires are rapidly spreading across Los Angeles with firefighters conceding they remain powerless to contain the flames because of strong winds.
At least 70,000 people were ordered to evacuate — a number that kept changing because evacuation orders were continually being issued, officials said.
Experts say that heavy rains from El Niño last year fueled vegetation growth in Los Angeles area, which had since dried out and become highly flammable.
Once ignited, strong winds then fanned the flames.
Southern California was battered by ‘devil winds’, formally known as Santa Ana winds, which are warm and gusty northeast winds that blow from the interior of region toward the coast.
