LA City Council approves $473K salary for LAFD Chief Jamie Moore

The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday approved a $473,600 annual salary for Fire Chief Jaime Moore, about $18,000 more than his predecessor, Kristin Crowley, earned.

In a 12-0 vote, the City Council approved Moore’s salary, who took over the Los Angeles Fire Department from interim chief Ronnie Villanueva in October 2025. Mayor Karen Bass appointed Villanueva after she demoted Crowley from her position in February 2025 for handling of the Palisades Fire.
