Six members of the Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department are helping conduct search and rescue missions in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, authorities said.
Milton made landfall near Siesta Key as a Category 3 hurricane Wednesday night, destroying homes in western Florida’s coastal communities, flooding streets, and spawning cells of tornadoes as far as South Florida.
At least 13 people have been confirmed dead, and dozens rescued in Milton’s aftermath after being trapped amid flooding and debris, authorities said.
“We have sent six of some of our finest people to help those Floridians on the West Coast,” said Coral-Springs Fire Department Deputy Chief Mike Moser. “They are helping search through the rubble left by Hurricane Milton. We are proud of the work they are doing and look forward their safe return soon.”
The six CSPFD members helping conduct rescue missions were deployed with FEMA’s Urban Search and Rescue FL-Task Force 2.
The firefighters’ fellow responders in the police department lauded their rescue work.
“Your dedication doesn’t go unnoticed, and we’re thankful for your bravery and selflessness,” Coral Springs Police said on the department’s Facebook page Thursday. “While we were fortunate to have been spared the worst of the storm, we know many of our neighbors were not as lucky. Stay safe out there.”
