MIAMI — Miami-Dade firefighters rescued a woman from a sinking car on Thursday in Homestead. A group of firefighters were on their way to pick up their dinner when they saw a car was sinking in a canal along Palm Avenue and Southwest167 Street.

The firefighters noticed a woman was in the driver’s seat of the submerging car. Firefighters Paul Newton and Bill Warren jumped into the canal and managed to save the woman before the car sank.

“We had to get in and grab her quickly,” Newton said in a press release. “We didn’t even get a chance to put on our dive gear.”
