Miami Lakes hosts first Morning with Medics

Miami Lakes Mayor Josh Dieguez held the first Morning with Medics on Feb. 19 at Vanilla Espresso French Café. 

The event welcomes residents to meet paramedics from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to chat and learn more about the department and what its firefighters do, as well as the community outreach the department does around Miami-Dade County.  The concept is modeled on Coffee with a Cop events that are held in town.
