Miami-Dade Fire Rescue handles fire prevention and fire plan review for unincorporated Miami-Dade and the municipalities it serves, while Miami, Miami Beach, Hialeah, Coral Gables and Key Biscayne operate their own fire departments. Fire review must therefore follow the resolved property's fire authority, not only the building permit issuer.
