""It is now clear that multiple drafts were edited to soften language and reduce explicit criticism of department leadership in that final report,""
""This editing occurred prior to my appointment as fire chief. And I can assure you that nothing of this sort will ever again happen while I am fire chief.""
""highly unprofessional and inconsistent with our established standards.""
Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Jaime Moore admitted that multiple drafts of the Palisades fire after-action report were edited to soften language and reduce explicit criticism of department leadership. The edits altered findings about pre-deployment decisions, changing language that originally said the decision not to fully staff up "did not align" with policy to language claiming staffing "went above and beyond" standards. The report author declined to endorse the edited final version, calling it "highly unprofessional and inconsistent with our established standards." Moore said the edits occurred before his appointment and did not name who made them.
