Fire Rescue to Offer Telemedicine Care
Beginning this January, the Coral Gables Fire Department will be the first fire rescue agency in Miami-Dade County to launch telemedicine capability in their rescue units. Developed by the Gordon Center for Simulation and Innovation in Medical Education at the University of Miami, this innovative program will allow paramedics to consult directly to neurologists, or trauma surgeons when patients are experiencing life threatening emergencies via a secured video system.
How to Recycle Your Christmas Tree

Every Drop Counts: Get a Water Rebate

By doing this, they can reduce their water bills and conserve water. Residential rebates are up to $50 per toilet, and up to $25 each per showerhead and faucet. Properties constructed before 1996 are eligible for the rebate.

It's a Winter Wonderland at Miracle Mile
Whimsical winter scenes arrive in Coral Gables, bringing a bit of the wintry North to the famed Miracle Mile . Charming moose and bears wander through snowy scapes, a tent and campfire spark delight, while brown paper packages adorn windows amidst a backdrop of snow covered birch trees. A nod to the elegant shops of the Mile, two windows feature stunningly crafted gowns, created out of ordinary objects (tulle, envelopes and evergreens) and turn them into the extraordinary. A total of 12 storefronts were custom-outfitted with four different winter themes using cut vinyl window graphics, customized winter-related scenes using props and beautiful backdrops for a unique, visual experience. The windows will be up through February in the 200 and 300 blocks of Miracle Mile.
