🚒 Throwback Thursday: Culver City Fire Department — 1929!

Take a trip back nearly 100 years to 1929, when Culver City firefighters proudly posed alongside their early fire apparatus in front of a building that still stands today!

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the family, friends, and colleagues of Bruce Rodriguez, a beloved Culver City Bus operator whose life was tragically taken on October 1.

Bruce proudly served the Culver City community for 12 years. Above all, he was a devoted husband to Sandy and loving father to their two young boys.

As fellow public servants in Culver City, we stand with the Rodriguez family and our brothers and sisters at Culver City Bus during this incredibly difficult time.

A GoFundMe has been established to help Bruce’s family with memorial expenses and provide financial support as they navigate the road ahead. We encourage our community to donate if able and help share their story.

Our firefighters continue to answer the call—both at home and across the West.

🚒 A Culver City Fire Department Captain has been deployed to Northern Oregon as part of a Santa Monica Fire Department REMS (Rapid Extraction Module Support) Team assigned to the Grasshopper Fire, providing critical firefighter rescue capabilities on the incident.

🌡️ Closer to home, a Culver City Battalion Chief and Firefighter were recently assigned to an OES Type VI pre-deployment in the Los Angeles area, strategically positioned to support our region during the ongoing extreme heat event and heightened wildfire risk.
