This is a test. I repeat, this is only a test!
Last week, Key Biscayne’s Fire Rescue Department conducted an Air Rescue Operations training exercise in collaboration with Miami-Dade County.
Emergency vehicles and air rescue helicopters were spotted in various locations around Key Biscayne.
The exercise was conducted in response to residents’ concerns about traffic congestion, especially when events are taking place along the Rickenbacker Causeway, and how emergency operations would fare in those cases.
The training is intended to enhance coordination between various emergency units and to examine response times.
