Fire Department History

Culver City Fire Chief David White speaks to an audience during his fire department history presentation July 19 at the Veterans Memorial Building. White gave a slide presentation of images dating back to the early days of the department. The presentation took place at a Culver City Historical Society general meeting.

Among the many images Chief White shared with the more than 50 people in attendance was the department’s new fire truck. The truck is seen here at Lambeau Field, in Wisconsin. The truck was built in Wisconsin and delivered to Culver City. Other speakers at the presentation were retired captain Jim Gilbert and retired fire inspector Jim Forte.
