Crews suit up for a water rescue.

This training scenario played out in collier county this morning-- a joint effort with golden gate and north naples fire departments, the collier county sheriffs office, and ems.

John reilly, north naples battalion chief

Within minutes one victim was pulled out of the water and trauma alerted, a chopper showed up to airlift the patient to the hospital.

After one hour, the rescue mission turned into a recovery effort.

This training comes one month after a mother and her two little girls died when their car crashed into a canal on alligator alley. Being surrounded by water in swfl, rescue crews say it's not a matter of "if"-- but "when" the next water accident will happen--

And they want to be prepared.

SOME ROADS. AND HIGHWAYS. ARE ALREADY SLICK - LEADING TO ACCIDENTS.

PATCHY FOG TO START A WARM DAY

Patchy fog forms through the morning, but the rest of the day looks pretty nice.

You can expect mostly sunny skies with afternoon highs warming into the mid 80s. If you are at the beaches, it will be cooler with highs in the upper 70s, due to the afternoon sea breeze coming off of the Gulf of Mexico.

Through the next few days, it will stay warm and humidity will continue to increase. There is another cold front headed into the northern part of our state this weekend. That front will not make it here to cool us down. We'll stay on the warm side of it. Some of the computer models are trying to throw in a chance for a shower on Sunday, but right now that chance looks pretty limited.

CERTIFIED STATE INSPECTORS HAVE BEEN AT THE FAIR SINCE MONDAY MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY TO RIDE.

BUT BEFORE THEY GET HERE, QUALIFIED INSPECTORS ON STAFF ARE ALREADY CHECKING THE SAFETY.

SOT: Rickey, "That's just the first line of defense, that's in house everytime we move we have to have a 3rd party state inspector come out."

STU: "On top of that, there's a foreman running each ride."

AND THEY'RE ALL EXPERTS ON THAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.

CHECKING EVERY BOLT, GEAR, GREASE, AND SAFETY BAR.

AND IF YOU'RE WORRIED THAT TEARING DOWN AND PUTTING THESE RIDES BACK UP MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS.

CARNIVAL WORKERS SAY THAT PROCESS HELPS THEM MAINTAIN EACH PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.

SOT:

Rickey Reithoffer, Carnival Manager "Everytime we move we have to be looked at again whereas amusement park rides are stationary. Sometimes people worry about having the rides torn down and set up each week. At the same time by taking them apart we get to see on the inside what's wearing and what needs to be replaced and really get to do a lot more maintenance than if you have the rides set up completely."

IN CONNECTICUT TODAY, VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL LIKELY MAKE THIS POINT AGAIN:

"The weapon used by the young man used to killing those 20 innocent, beautiful babies, up in Newtown, that weapon is not necessary for your self defense."

BUT IT'S THESE COMMENTS THAT RAISED EYEBROWS:

"Buy a shotgun, buy a shotgun." ½FLASH¾ "Put that double-barrelled shotgun, and fire two blasts outside the house."

THE WHITE HOUSE EXPLAINED:

"The point he was making is that you do not need a military-style assault weapon, and that a shotgun would do the trick.

BUT A BAN ON ASSAULT WEAPONS IS UNLIKELY.

Arizona :41-:47

"An assault weapons ban will not bass the Congress of the United States." ½FLASH¾ "Increased background checks, closing loopholes, other things like that. That's fine."

BUT WILL GUN CONTROL EVEN COME UP FOR A VOTE? RIGHT NOW, WASHINGTON IS LASER-FOCUSED ON PREVENTING THOSE $85 BILLION IN BUDGET CUTS. JUST DAYS AWAY.

THEN THERE'S IMMIGRATION REFORM:

"My hope is that we can get votes on all these items."

IMMIGRATION CAUSED THIS HEATED EXCHANGE AT JOHN MCCAIN'S TOWN HALL IN ARIZONA.
