Miami-Dade County’s director of public safety has confirmed that the fire rescue training exercise where a fireman’s son died was not eligible.

NBC6 asked James Reyes at a scheduled campaign event Friday about the status of the investigation into the June 21 incident at Virginia Gardens. Fabian Camerothe 28-year-old son of a Miami-Dade firefighter, was taken to the hospital after being critically injured and died a day later.

The tragic death started a multi-department probe that remains open.

“We will not move forward with the administrative investigation in terms of discipline until we complete the death investigation,” Reyes told NBC6.

Camero was not employed by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. Why he was even at practice is still under investigation.

“At this time, all information indicates that this particular training was not a department-sanctioned training,” Reyes said.

NBC6 spoke with the owner of the building where firefighters held the training, who said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue was allowed to conduct a “non-destructive” training exercise. It is also under review.

“We are committed to transparency, we are committed to holding accountable the people who were ultimately responsible for this incident,” Reyes said.

NBC6 has requested public records related to this training exercise as well as any incident reports detailing what first responders found at the scene. So far, all of our requests have been declined, with the department citing an ongoing investigation as the reason they can’t release information.

The Miami-Dade Fire Rescue training exercise that claimed the life of a firefighter’s son was not the first of its kind to end in tragedy, NBC 6 Investigates reports.
