Miami Fire Rescue

🌪️ Hurricane Season officially begins today and runs through November 30.

For Miami residents, preparedness is not optional. It is essential.

Now is the time to review your emergency plans, build or refresh your disaster supply kit, know your evacuation zone, and ensure your family is ready before a storm threatens our community.

Remember: Hurricanes can’t be prevented, but their impact can be reduced through preparation.

✅ Make a Plan
✅ Build a Kit
✅ Stay Informed
✅ Secure Your Home
✅ Look Out for Your Neighbors

The best time to prepare is before a storm is on the radar.

Stay ready, Miami. We’re here for you.

At the end of Friday’s training day, recruits heard from Lieutenant Almeida and Lieutenant Viniegra, both United States Air Force veterans and instructors with the City of Miami Department of Fire-Rescue.

In a candid moment, these veterans reminded recruits what Memorial Day truly represents: sacrifice, service, and honoring those who gave their lives for our nation.
