VIRGINIA GARDENS, Fla. — Authorities have released the 9-1-1 calls made the night a Miami-Dade firefighter’s son died.
It happened during an unauthorized training exercise in Virginia Gardens on June 21 of last year.
In the wake of the death, two firefighters resigned.
Fabian Camero, the 28-year-old son of firefighter Francisco Camero, worked at a private ambulance company and was injured during the exercise near Northwest 36th Street.
He died a day later at the hospital.
Investigators said Camero was given unsafe and outdated gear which caused him to die of smoke inhalation.
Now both Francisco Camero and the other firefighter who resigned, Rafael Fernandez, are facing manslaughter charges.
