SURFSIDE, Fla. (AP) — Firefighters have ended their mission in clearing debris from the collapsed Surfside condo building Friday, officials said, while police and forensic specialists continue their work to identify human remains in the disaster.
Miami Dade Assistant Fire Chief Raide Jadallah told The Associated Press that the fire department’s role in recovering remains at the collapsed Surfside condominium has finished.
They left the site in a convoy of fire engines and other vehicles and drove slowly to their headquarters.
The June 24 collapse killed at least 97 people and at least one more person believed missing in the disaster has yet to be identified.
