Shelton (WTNH) - The recent mid-air collision over New York's Hudson River is a somber reminder of how an ordinary day can change quickly. Everyday emergency crews prepare for days like that and today in Fairfield County responders converged on the Housatonic River for a special drill.

Drills like these are so important, many of the departments, like Fairfield county, actually do water training about 25 times a year.
