Swamp Wars

Miami is a vacationer’s paradise with its beautiful beaches, myriad of outdoor activities and sizzling nightlife. Yet, the city is situated in the center of a giant swamp making it a Garden of Eden for snakes and other overgrown reptiles – many not native to the area. Snakes are everywhere, and the potential for a snake to strike is at an all-time high. One hundred percent of backyards in Miami and throughout South Florida have snakes; you just can’t always see them. Not to mention, dangerous alligators, aggressive iguanas and Africanized bees. Animal Planet takes to the front lines of this daily combat in “Swamp Wars” introducing the only team with the fearlessness and knowledge to battle these vicious and often venomous creatures: Venom One. The Venom One team is an elite group of specially trained fire fighter/paramedics within Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
