Rescue crews prepare for holiday weekend, urge water safety

"The couple of big thunderstorms we got this week dropped a lot of rain very fast, which feeds into the river beds, into the streams and causes big changes in the depth of the water and the flow rate of the water, which makes potentially a safe spot where you might have been swimming a day or two ago could be very dangerous today," said the Colchester Technical Rescue team leader.
