LA Mayor Karen Bass is under fire after rejecting assistance from the FDNY amid the ongoing wildfires in California. While Governor Gavin Newsom has accepted help from Mexico, Bass stands by her decision despite mounting criticism.

Bass, who was once considered a top choice for Vice President by Joe Biden and praised by Obama as "outstanding," is now facing a petition demanding her resignation. The petition has garnered over 92,000 signatures, highlighting the growing frustration with Bass's leadership.

Critics argue that Bass's refusal to accept outside aid during a time of crisis is putting lives at risk and further exacerbating the wildfires in California. While Newsom has recognized the importance of international assistance, Bass remains steadfast in her decision.

As residents of LA continue to battle the wildfires, the pressure is mounting on Mayor Bass to reconsider her stance and prioritize the safety and well-being of her constituents. Time will tell if Bass will change course or face further backlash from the community she was elected to serve.
