On the Miami-Dade fire front, here's a pre- or early-arrival view of the cargo jet crash at Miami International Airport. Occurred about 1:54 p.m.

Reports that the aircraft overran the runway and crashed on a road. Also impacted one or more vehicles. Heavy fire on arrival of the ARFF units, plus extrication needed for one or more victims. Mass-casualty incident also declared.

Those are units of 6th Battalion on the right. From the Fire Wiki, it looks like the airport station has three heavy ARFF trucks in front line service, Foam 1, Foam 2, Foam 3, all Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 crash trucks.

Assorted details from radio traffic. Initial triage with reports of black, red, and green tags. One engine on the jet could not be shut down, and units worked on a workaround, such as flowing water into the engine. [ Port engine, finally secured after 60+ minutes. ] Two Foam (ARFF) units later immobile, due to flat tires, including Foam 2 with two flat tires on the right side.

Aircraft details from tail number, N1997A, twin-engine Boeing 767-300.
