MIAMI (WSVN) - Miami-Dade Fire Rescue is getting new cars for its canines.
The department received two vehicles specially fitted for its peer support K-9 response team. This special response team was started three years ago by MDFR Capt. Shawn Campana.
Pups in the K-9 response program help victims in crisis situations.
They also help first responders deal with occupational stress, as suicide rates for first responders continue to rise nationally.
