A Redondo Beach resident who was a firefighter and paramedic in Hermosa Beach died Tuesday, according to multiple reports.
Carlos Lopez, 36, was set to represent Hermosa Beach this weekend at the Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge, according to The Beach Reporter. Another firefighter will run in his place, and the fire department will also be collecting donations to help the Lopez family.
The newspaper also ran an interview with Lopez that was conducted last week in preparation for the challenge.
