Miami-Dade County Commissioner Esteban Bovo Jr. visited M-D Fire Station #1 in Miami Lakes on December 2 as part of his “Working for You” campaign.
Bovo toured the facility with Chief Fire Officer Felipe Osaba, helped answer emergency calls, and joined firefighters in responding to several incidents, including a rolled over car on the Palmetto Expressway and a tragic shooting in the Opa-locka area.
“After spending a day with Miami-Dade firefighters and experiencing the day-to-day operations first-hand, my respect and gratitude has grown even more for the heroic work they do every day,” Bovo said.
Bovo began his “Working for You” campaign in May 2013. Since then, he has visited several county departments including Animal Services, Water and Sewer, and Police, listening and acquiring a better understanding of the needs and services provided for the community.
