Shelton, CT - Nichols Fire Department participated in a coordinated training exercise alongside Newtown Dive Rescue and Stevenson Volunteer Fire Company at a lake in Monroe. The scenario focused on search operations following a recent missing dog incident in the area.

During the exercise, crews deployed the AquaEye system from both the shoreline and a canoe to scan targeted sections of the water.
