MIAMI – The Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Special Operations Division and Hazardous material teams were involved in a civil-military maritime hazardous materials drill at the Port Miami on Saturday.
"The objective of this drill is to exercise the civil military interface that will occur on a large-scale maritime hazmat incident; such as the arrival of a large container ship that is leaking hazardous materials into the bay," Miami-Dade Fire Rescue's Erika Benitez said in a statement.
