A camera in a Miami-Dade fire station bathroom has sparked an investigation, authorities said.

Over the weekend, the camera was found in Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Station 69, 11151 NW 74th St. in Doral, fire rescue said.

“We are committed to the safety and well-being of our employees, and we will do everything in our power to ensure transparency throughout this process,” fire rescue said.

Internal Affairs’ investigations were started at MDFR and Miami-Dade police, who are also looking into a possible criminal angle, authorities said.

Not much is known on where the camera was or what it was used for, but it may not have been well hidden.
