Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing withering criticism for her response to the firestorm ravaging her city.

Amid pointed questions at a news conference, Karen Bass sought to deflect criticism of the city’s response to the fires.

As crews continue to put out multiple fires across Los Angeles County, residents have expressed worry about the city’s insufficient response. Criticism includes not being warned about the likelihood of the fires even happening as well as a shortage of both firefighters and water.
