The Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department has launched the largest high-speed, high-tech fireboat in all of Florida. This jet-propelled craft can travel up to 42 knots fully loaded, allowing fire rescue crews to quickly respond to any marine emergency in South Florida's waters. Be amongst the first to see just what this vessel can do.
