Los Angeles far-left mayor Karen Bass had cut fire department budget by $17.5 million; LA county had refused to refill reservoirs, Because Environmental Justice Or Whatever; LA fire chief Kristin Crowley is a DEI queen.

I am not, alas, familiar with the song being parodied---but the re-working itself is very nice indeed.
