The eight Miami Beach firefighters that volunteered to travel to Israel returned home this Sunday and were welcomed back by their families, friends, fellow firefighters, local officials and Miami Beach residents.
The firefighters spent two-weeks in Israel after they were called into military service following the October 7th attacks.
According to a release, they have been stationed in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa through the Emergency Volunteers Project, which provides assistance to the State of Israel during times of emergency.
The group responded to all types of emergencies from house fires, car crashes, to homes hit by rockets.
