About This Episode

What does it actually look like inside Miami's police and fire stations? We went to find out — and what we saw was hard to believe. Mayor Eileen Higgins personally guided us through multiple stations across the city, revealing widespread water damage, deteriorating conditions, and a fire station that's been operating out of a tent for years after a P3 deal collapsed and left firefighters with nothing.

These are the men and women running into burning buildings and responding to emergencies around the clock — and this is where they're being asked to do it from. Mayor Higgins gives us the full context behind years of deferred maintenance and lays out her plan to finally address it.

Once you see this, you won't be able to unsee it.
