Robin “Rob” Culp became interested in firefighting after experiencing the Laguna Beach fires in 1993. Rob always had an affinity for helping people and wanted to embody that in his career. He was an active part of the Explorer program and the Technical Rescue Truck program, and a member of the Urban Search and Rescue California Task Force 5 as a Safety Officer. Rob enjoyed the outdoors and was an avid surfer, snowboarder, and mountain biker. The only thing he loved more than these things was his family. He is survived by his wife, Katie, and two children, Jackson and Madison.
