JC Cabrero graduated from Miami Dade College Fire Academy in 2022 and hit the ground running. Just one year later, he was hired by Hialeah Fire Department through Class 23-01 — and he hasn’t slowed down since.
Today, JC serves on Engine 7, A Shift as a Tailboard firefighter, and has already added Hazmat Technician and Dive Rescue Specialist to his credentials. Two years into his career and he’s already operating at a level that takes some firefighters a decade to reach.
His message to recruits is simple:
“Never quit on your dreams. Get comfortable being uncomfortable.”
That’s not motivational talk — that’s a blueprint. The academy is designed to make you uncomfortable. The job will too. The ones who embrace that feeling instead of running from it are the ones who end up exactly where JC is now.

Many of the values we uphold in the fire service — duty, honor, sacrifice, brotherhood — were forged by those who served before us in uniform. Their legacy lives in every first responder who raises their right hand and commits to serving others before themselves. We carry their spirit forward every time we answer the call.
From all of us at Miami Dade College Fire Academy, we honor the fallen. We remember their sacrifice. And we will never forget.
🇺🇸🖤

Every skill you build, every evolution you push through, every standard you hold — it doesn’t just make you better. It makes your crew better.
The firefighter next to you is counting on the version of you that didn’t quit. That stayed sharp. That took the training seriously. And you are counting on the same from them. That’s the foundation of this job.
Not individual glory — collective trust. Build yourself so your team never has to question whether you’re ready.
That’s what it means to be part of a crew.

Today, Class 26-183 trained on vehicle extrication — learning the proper use of hydraulic tools, pneumatic tools, stabilization equipment, and more. Every tool has a purpose. Every cut has a reason. And every second matters when a patient is pinned and waiting for rescue.
Vehicle extrication isn’t just about knowing how to operate the tools. It’s about understanding vehicle construction, identifying hazards, stabilizing the scene, and making smart decisions under pressure. It’s about working as a team with precision and communication so that every move brings you closer to a safe and effective rescue.
Class 26-183 continues to build their skill set one evolution at a time. The tools are in your hands — now learn to trust them, respect them, and use them when it counts.

Instructor H. Mesa and Instructor N. Cantillo geared up and ran the PAT alongside Class 26-183 — full gear, full effort, full standard. Both instructors completed the evolution in under 5 minutes, proving that the benchmark they set for their recruits is the same benchmark they hold for themselves. That’s not just instruction. That’s leadership. When your instructors are willing to suit up and perform right next to you, the message is clear — the standard isn’t just talked about here, it’s lived.
This is what sets apart. Our instructors take great pride in what they do, and they lead from the front every single day. Class 26-183, take note — this is the example. Now match it.

Kevin Hernandez graduated from Miami Dade College Fire Academy in 2016 and took that hunger straight into the field. Today, he serves with Palm Beach County Fire Rescue — carrying the standard of this academy with him every shift.
After years on the job, Kevin’s advice to current recruits cuts straight to the core:
“Remember how driven and excited you were to get into this career — and when you’re feeling complacent, remember how bad you wanted it.”
That feeling you had going through this academy — the early mornings, the physical grind, the mental pressure — that was earned. Don’t let time in the seat take away what the fire put in you. The job doesn’t get easier. You get better. But only if you stay hungry.

Firefighter Dontavis Walker of Margate Fire Department made a decision that day — get ahead, stay ahead, and never be caught unprepared again. He figured out the mindset early: read before you need to. Know what’s coming before it arrives.
That one moment of failure built the discipline that carried him through everything that followed.
His advice to every recruit is simple — get ahead and read. Because when the moment comes, it’s too late to prepare.
🎙️ His full story drops this Thursday, May 21st at 10 AM on the MDC Fire Academy YouTube channel — Episode 10 of On the Job: Alumni in Action.

The flange burn prop demands focus. It demands communication. And it demands that you trust your training and your team. There’s no room for hesitation when you’re managing a live fuel-fed fire — you move with purpose or you don’t move at all.
Class 26-183 continues to add tools to the toolbox. Every evolution is another layer of preparation for the job ahead. Keep building. Keep learning. Keep getting after it.
