"and he says, "yeah, so what?" and then that's when the fight began"
THE 50 YEAR OLD TOOK ON 29 YEAR OLD DENNIS SZAKACS - ARRESTED BY THE LEE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE - THANKS TO NOTTINGHAM'S OLD BOXING MOVES.

TODAY HE'S GLAD HE GOT THE FIRST PUNCH IN --
"I was lucky that I surprised him and he didn't have time to prepare"

"you start going what if, what if, what if. I'm just glad that those what ifs didn't happen"

A NEIGHBORING BOAT IN FLAMES…
ART RODRIGUEZ/NAPLES/5:16 "My landlord called me and said there was a fire and it might involve my boat."
ART RODRUUEZ RUSHED TO THE NAPLES COVE INN.
AN ELECTRICAL FIRE ON THE 40 FOOT BOAT "EVE" HAD FIRE CREWS ROLLING HOSES THROUGH THE HOTEL LOBBY.
ART/7:21 "We're very fortunate, could have been a worse scenario."
A SCENARIO THAT could've sent other NEARBY BOATS AND YACHTS UP IN FLAMES.
Something THE NAPLES FIRE DEPARTMENT KNOWS IT'S NOT PREPARED FOR.
CHIEF STEPHEN MCINERNY/NAPLES FD/15:31 "We have a lot of boats, common sense would dictate you need tools and resources to fight fire on water."
THE DEPARTMENT CURRENTLY HAS A SMALL RESCUE BOAT THAT OFFICIALS SAY ISN'T EQUIPPED TO GET THE JOB DONE.
CHIEF MCINERNY/15:58 "It just doesn't work, it's not reliable, doesn't give us the flow that's needed to fight."
WHICH IS WHY IT WASN'T AN OPTION FOR LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
A CONCERN FOR BOAT OWNERS.
ART/6:38 "You want the best protection you can get on the water."
LUCKILY, CREWS WERE IN POSITION TO PUT THE FIRE OUT ON LAND.
THEY SAY IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME THOUGH BEFORE THE LACK OF EQUIPMENT CATCHES UP TO THEM.
ART/6:42 "This time it happened on a dock but next time it could happen 100 feet out in the water, then what?"
CHIEF MCINERNY/18:39 "I'm just asking as the fire chief, to protect our city and to be safe, operate efficiently and get the job done, a fire boat would do that for us."

AD LIB WEATHER TEASE
Return to index of stories...
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
The nice comfortable humidity levels have arrived at Southwest Florida and they're here to stay for a few days. The official morning low of 69º in Fort Myers was the coolest morning since May 22 of this year.
Between a big ridge of High Pressure producing calm weather to our north and Tropical Depression #16 near the Bahamas, we're getting a northeast wind that will persist through the first half of the weekend, keeping rain chances near zero.
By the weekend, the wind will begin to turn more easterly and lose its northerly component. Once this happens, tropical moisture will start creeping back into Southwest Florida, which will increase our clouds and rain chances.
There may be an isolated shower in spots Sunday afternoon, but the better rain chance will be on Monday afternoon with the chance going to 30%.
After Monday, the atmosphere dries again and we'll be into mostly sunny days again.
