“I don’t think there’s really any benefit to me” looking into who made the edits, Moore said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. Moore said he would refuse if the mayor, who is his boss, requested edits to an after-action report. The after-action report contained only a brief mention of the earlier fire. After the Times report, Bass directed Moore to commission an independent investigation into the LAFD’s handling of the Lachman fire. Moore later added: “If that is true, then — you asked me about discipline — potential discipline would possibly occur.”©2026 Los Angeles Times.
