COULD THE RULE THAT LET'S PEOPLE BRING THEIR PETS TO FORT MYERS BEACH, ACTUALLY BE KEEPING OTHERS AWAY?
the few that refuse to take responsibility for their dogs really erode the quality of life for all of us on the beach
COUNCILWOMAN JO LIST SAYS RECENTLY, SHE'S BEEN GETTING COMPLAINTS-- PEOPLE ARE STEPPING IN DOG WASTE IN THE SAND.
ONE VISITOR WROTE TOWN LEADERS, SAYING HE SPOTTED PETS DOING THEIR BUSINESS, IN KIDS' SANDCASTLES.
in season, during the day, my preference would be just for individuals, not dogs
people are a pain in the butt sometimes, but dogs never are
THE ISLAND IS ONE OF THE FEW THAT ALLOWS DOGS ON MOST BEACHES-- SOMETHING THAT ATTRACTS SOME VISITORS--
on my days off, I want to be with her, she's like my child
THERE ARE A FEW RULES:
DOGS MUST STAY ON LEASHES, AND OWNERS HAVE TO CLEAN UP AFTER THEIR PETS.
BUT LIST SAYS JUST TWO CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS COVER ALL SEVEN MILES OF SAND.
the problem we have here is lack of enforcement
NOW COUNCIL IS LOOKING AT USING TOURISM BED TAX DOLLARS, TO PAY PEOPLE TO SERVE AS AMBASSADORS ON THE RULES.
you don't have to get angry you don't have to get upset, set a good example, and explain to people how we do things here on the beach

WE TAKE YOU UNDERWATER-- WHERE TODAY, SEVERAL AGENCIES LEARNED LITTLE KNOWN SECRETS THAT HELP SAVE SECONDS, WHEN EVERY ONE COUNTS.
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.
SPRING TYPE WEATHER ARRIVING
Did the title catch your eye? I'm sure it did… It's true, too. Spring time weather is arriving, but it'll only be here for a few days before another cool down takes over.
So enjoy it while it lasts!
Friday through Sunday will be gorgeous. I'm forecasting partly cloudy skies and no rain. Perfect beach weather, grilling weather, golfing weather, boating weather… You get the idea - the weather will be perfect. Mid 80 degree temperatures will accompany the sunshine. The beaches will be a little cooler though because of the afternoon sea breeze.
Monday will serve as our day of transition as a cold front approaches from our northwest. We'll begin seeing more cloud cover, and by Tuesday/Wednesday we'll have overcast skies with periods of showers.
Grab those rain coats! Oh, and grab the sweaters while you're at it because temperatures will drop into the upper 60s to lower 70s in wake of the front. Morning lows will be in the 50s.
An issue we will deal with over the next 5 days is dense morning fog. You've seen it the past few days, and you will no doubt continue to see it. Play it safe while driving and always turn the low-beam headlights on!

submerged in a lake.
Dive teams are in the water within minutes--
Nats- helicopter
A chopper lands to airlift any survivors to the hospital.
Nats- helicopter
It's a real-life scenario being played out to train and test collier countys first responders.
Andy krajewski, golden gate fire battalion chief:
"13:19 every scene is a little bit different so you have to train for as many instances that you can."
Exactly one month ago-- cecilia douglas and her two little girls crashed their car upside down into a canal on alligator alley. All three died.
John reilly, north naples fire battalion chief:
"16:36 tragically whenever you have an event within the community every first responder in the county is going to stop and look at how they respond to an effort like that 44"
Today crews used the same techniques and gear used during that water rescue--
saying the douglas accident highlighted the importance of local agencies working together.
Fhp was first on scene of the alley crash and called the fire dept for help--
golden gate rescue divers went in to the canal-- as sheriffs deputies, armed with rifles, kept a lookout for alligators.
Once the girls were pulled out-- ems was ready for cpr-- and to transport them to the hospital.
John reilly, north naples fire battalion chief:
15:47 they all work together, they communicate and they cooperate."
No matter how good the teamwork and training--their biggest challenge is time.
Andy krajewski, golden gate fire battalion chief:
"11:38 When we get on scene it's very rapid, It's getting to the scene that's the issue 11:42"
Since there are no fire stations close to the alley, it took golden gate fire crews 18 minutes to drive to the scene.
"18:02 time is life."
