Local station KTLA</a> reported the 32-year-old Iverson was a fire apparatus engineer with the San Diego Unit. He was survived by his wife and 2-year-old daughter, with a second child on the way.

Firetrucks parked on an overhead pass with firefighters standing atop them, as seen in the video. The vehicle from which this was filmed was driving out from downtown Ventura at the time.
