VIRGINIA GARDENS, Florida (WSVN) — Three Miami-Dade Fire Rescue employees have resigned from the department amid an investigation into a fatal training tragedy.

The investigation stems from a June drill at a three-story building in Virginia Gardens that took a deadly turn.

Firefighters were in the middle of a training exercise when someone added too much fuel to what was supposed to be a small demonstration tar fire.

A firefighter’s son, Fabian Camero, 28, was rushed to 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 three people placed on administrative leave in August following the tragedy.

In a statement, MDFR confirmed the resignations:

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) confirms that three employees have resigned, effective October 30, 2024, while an investigation is still ongoing.
