Breast Cancer Awareness month takes place every October. Local 1403 and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue have once again united behind the pink ribbon with the uniquely designed 2026 Breast Cancer Awareness t-shirt that all MDFR personnel are authorized to wear on duty through October 31st. Local 1403’s Yumi Candelaria and Executive Board Member Orville Taylor were at MDFR Headquarters on Thursday offering the shirt for sale with proceeds benefitting local nonprofits that unite communities in honoring and celebrating breast cancer survivors, educate on prevention and early detection, and fund research and support programs to eliminate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease.

This past Saturday on September 19th, members of Metro-Dade Firefighters IAFF Local 1403, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Honor Guard, along with family and friends joined the fire service community at Memorial Park in Colorado Springs, CO for the 40th Annual Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial Observance Ceremony.
IAFF General President Edward Kelly honored the 288 fallen members whose names were added to the Wall of Honor, including two of our own, Captain William “Bill” Gustin and Firefighter Timothy Burgs. Their lives and legacies were remembered in the presence of family, friends, and fellow firefighters.
Following the ceremony, everyone gathered in Tent City for fellowship, reflection, and remembrance.
We will always honor their service, remember their sacrifice, and carry their legacy forward.

Respect for Old Glory is an important part of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue recruit training regimen. Each morning at 7 A.M., recruits and their instructors on the training ground come to attention as the American flag is raised to begin the day. All remain at attention until the flag reaches the top of the Fire Rescue Training Center flagpole and the command “Carry On” is sounded, signaling the start of another day of training.
