VIRGINIA GARDENS, Florida (WSVN) -- Three Miami-Dade Fire Rescue employees have turned in their resignations to the department amid an investigation into a fatal training tragedy.
The investigation stems from a June exercise at a three-story building in Virginia Gardens that took a deadly turn.
Firefighters were in the middle of their training exercise when someone added too much fuel to what should’ve been a small tar pot fire meant for demonstration.
A firefighter’s son, 28-year-old Fabian Camero, was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and succumbed to his injuries a day later.
Detectives said the 28-year-old was not a firefighter.
Fabian’s father, Francisco Camero, was one of the three people placed on administrative duty in August following the tragedy.
In a statement, MDFR confirmed the resignations:
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) confirms that three employees have resigned, effective Oct. 30, 2024, while an investigation is still ongoing.
