MDFR PIO

In remembrance of those who are no longer with us due to the pandemic, #MDFR unites in a moment of silence to honor their lives. #COVIDMemorial – at Miami, FL

This past week, #MDFR has seen people from all walks of life with one goal in common: a desire to protect themselves against #COVID19 by getting vaccinated. Omar Diaz & Maria Elena Salinas are 2 of the thousands of folks age 65+ in our community that have received their vaccines.

Under @MayorDaniella leadership, Miami-Dade County is working urgently to expand the available supply in our county so that all residents 65+ can quickly access vaccines – because getting the shot is vital in helping to ensure our community can continue to flourish.

Whether getting vaccinated for themselves or for their family, this important step will bring us closer together and towards a safer, healthier future. Together, #WeCanWeWill protect our communities.

#MDFRInTheNews: On Wednesday morning, 18 #MDFR units including #TRT & #Heavy1 responded to a multiple rollover motor vehicle crash with one person trapped inside a tractor trailer near NW 106 St. & the SB lanes of the Turnpike. Story: @WPLGLocal10 bit.ly/2Kf6hZZ – at Miami, FL

11 years later, #MDFR still remembers the pain and suffering of the people of Haiti following a massive earthquake that caused catastrophic damage to parts of the country, leaving millions of people displaced. We will never forget.

Keep the Holiday Season joyful and #FireSafe by watering your natural #Christmas tree daily! A hydrated tree reduces the chance of your tree to ignite and start a fire.

Today, the crews from #MDFR #Station31 received a special visit from @HatzalahSoFla & a family to thank the crews for their life-saving efforts during a medical emergency involving a child. We’re honored for their visit & happy to see the child made a full recovery! – at Miami, FL

Electrical malfunction is the leading cause of home fires year after year. Prevent a fire at home - don't overload power strips and only use power strips with an internal overload protection. #MDFRSafety

With the new school year starting, many kids will be going to school virtually or in-person. The #SafetyPatrolTwins are back to share important tips for kids to keep learning in smart and safe ways this school year. #BackToSchool #MDFRKidsCorner

Recently hospitalized recuperating from complications due to #COVID19, one of our firefighter felt joyful & instantly connected to his fellow brothers & sisters the minute he received the unexpected “Get Well Soon” visit from his fellow fire crew members from #MDFR #Station36. – at Miami, FL

This morning, #MDFR, @iflymia & other local/federal emergency response agencies conducted a full-scale aviation emergency drill. Code named Operation Tango, the Triennial Airport Emergency Exercise simulates a disaster scenario in order to test the skills of emergency responders.

Today, #MDFR wants to emphasize the love our first responders have to serve their communities. Day in & day out, we serve our residents; to care, heal & comfort sometimes in the worst of times. For the “love of our community,” thank you for your trust. #AlwaysReadyProudToServe – at Miami, FL
