Miami-Dade Fire Rescue’s Florida Task Force 1 (#FLTF1) is on the ground in Playa Grande, La Guaira, Venezuela, standing alongside a community forever changed by the devastating earthquakes. The mission is complex but clear. It's driven by the possibility that a life can still be saved. That thousands of families are waiting for answers about the fate of their loved ones. For many of our rescuers, this mission is deeply personal. As Spanish speakers, they are able to communicate directly with the people they encounter offering not only life-saving expertise, but also reassurance, comfort, and compassion in their own language. In moments of unimaginable loss and uncertainty, a familiar voice, a few words of encouragement, or simply being understood can provide a measure of hope that extends far beyond the rescue itself. Our canine search teams are among the most vital members of this mission. Guided by their handlers, these remarkable dogs use their extraordinary sense of smell to detect the scent of people trapped beneath the rubble, helping our rescue teams search quickly, safely, and with incredible precision. This is what our team has trained for. But no amount of training can prepare you for the emotion of walking into a community devastated by disaster. In the days ahead, they will continue this mission with compassion, and determination. Far from home and working shoulder to shoulder with the Department of State and international partners, our 80-member Type I Urban Search and Rescue team and six extraordinary canines will continue this mission hoping to find life under the rubble. Please keep our team, every other first responder, and the people of Venezuela in your thoughts as this mission continues. Embajada de los EE.UU. en Caracas

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and the Florida Forest Service (FFS) continue working to contain two grass fires in West Miami-Dade. According to FFS, the Quarry 2 Fire has burned approximately 17,600 acres and is 97% contained, while the Well Fire has burned approximately 1,425 acres and is 60% contained. #MDFR crews remain in remote areas of western Miami-Dade, monitoring fire activity and supporting ongoing containment efforts. Changing weather and wind conditions may cause smoke to travel well beyond the fire area. Residents and visitors may see or smell smoke in communities throughout Miami-Dade County. Seeing or smelling smoke does not necessarily mean there is a fire nearby. Only call 9-1-1 for emergencies. This helps keep emergency resources available for these grass fires and other emergencies throughout our community. If smoke impacts your area, limit time spent outdoors, keep doors and windows closed, and set air conditioning systems to recirculate. Drivers may encounter smoky or hazy conditions on roadways near the fire. If visibility is reduced, slow down, increase your following distance, and use low-beam headlights. Temporary road closures or detours may be implemented as conditions change to help protect the public and emergency personnel. For the latest info on road closures, visit

Earlier today, the men and women of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue’s Florida Task Force 1 (#FLTF1) boarded a plane and began their mission to Venezuela. Departing from Homestead Air Reserve Base with the support of U.S. Southern Command, they carry with them far more than specialized training and equipment. They carry compassion, hope, and commitment to stand beside those facing unimaginable hardship. Behind every member of this team is a family they have hugged goodbye so they can answer the call of someone in need. That is the true meaning of service. We could not be more proud of these extraordinary men and women. When disaster strikes, they don’t ask who needs help or where they are from, they are simply ready to respond and ready to serve. Their courage and selflessness remind us that humanity has no borders, and that sometimes the greatest act of kindness is simply showing up when someone needs you most. From South Florida, second home to the largest Venezuelan population outside of South America, we ask that you keep all first responders in your thoughts as they represent our community with honor, compassion, and hope.
