A pair of boaters came up with a novel method for putting out a fire after another vessel became engulfed in flames on a lake in New Zealand’s South Island.<\/p>\n
The footage shows black smoke billowing the small vessel as a man says, “If it goes bang\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 the fire’s going to spread everywhere”.\u00c2\u00a0 As the group of people onshore continue to panic about how to deal with fire, a sprint boat, a type of racing craft, suddenly appears on the lake heading straight for it.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
A man onshore yells “What are you doing!”\u00c2\u00a0 but seconds later the boaters’ plan becomes clear, as they make a sharp turn next to the flaming vessel to shower it with water.\u00c2\u00a0 The sprint boaters circle around the lake and continue to splash the other vessel until the flames are put out.<\/p>\n
