Putting out a boat fire like a boss (Video)

My friends in elementary school would always try to trade me for my Kudos bar. Of course, they thought it would be as easy offering some pretzels or a cracker ham sandwich without cheese from a lunchable kit. Fucking morons. In retaliation to their disrespect, I would take 17 Children's Tylenol (pm's) and pass out during a PEMDAS lesson. With the teacher wondering why my heart wasn't beating, they would find the empty bottle of medication in the desk of Chris Pepper, and had no choice but to suspend him. Of course, this was after our principal, Mr. Cushenberry, tied Chris down to the bottom of a slide where he would allow my still breathing classmates to pour lava, and roll large boulders down sed slide. Good times, man.

that isn't the reason it was put out you dumb fuck

tonytwotone

What a dipshit… maybe they were keepinf the fire from spreading up a dry hillside you dumb douche

Orukal

Any idea if there was anything on the boat that could still be saved? Genius.
Sorbz

Well one big reason would be to stop the motor oil and gas from leaking into the lake.

That is pretty great, but he will probably be fined for going to close to the shore due to some environmental regulation, or get in trouble by the local firefighters union for doing their work.

I think a fire on a boat is a stupid problem to have… A fire, thats floating on the one thing that puts it out.

Maybe get that lady from North Dakota to do it. I think she was really onto something with the deer crossing signs. lol

tonytwotone

Are you fucking retarded? Did it not occur to you that maybe a fire next to a dry hillside could be bad news?

Hey thanks for that awesome comment douchebag!! Everyone thinks you're so cool now. That said, go back to telemondo and stay there. Chive is both original content as well as stuff shared from other sites. That's kind of the magic of the internet. Next time you want to waste everyone's time with your really insightful comments, feel free to start your own blog so you can whine about all your troubles in one, concentrated poop-filled adventure. I bet you wear TapOut t-shirts.

It looked cool, but in reality it was stupid. The boat on fire was a complete loss that was obvious at the first glance. Luckily the bank drop off was enough to keep the foot of the motor from going aground – at 60 mph. This guy could have easily trashed a $50,000 boat trying to do something that was unnecessary. Or he could have caught some bottom or a stump and injured everyone on the boat.

Thanks mom…. bitch
Berty

You are so smart and sensible.
Jrod

Dude, shut up, this was awesome.
tonytwotone

Or he saved the hillside from catching fire which everyone whos ever seen California or what a fire does in terrain and conditions like that knows the potential for loss. How many millions of dollars of homes did he save? How many wildland firefighters died last year you dumb fuck?

I'm pretty sure that was a jet boat so there's little chance of him running a ground with no prop. 60mph… more like 30mph and at that speed the only danger was the smoke hiding the boat. He did a great service and did it with style. My hats off to this gentleman, well played sir, well played.

But he didn't….

Yep… Pretty much, Fuck you… Douche

Do you wake up in the morning and have a cup of douche and a nice bowl of douchbag?
Sorbz

For all we know the guy was very familiar with that area and new it was safe. He also might have kept oil and gas from spilling into the lake.

People who think that was unnecessary were the same kids who didn't want to build a bike ramp. Get f'd, nerds!!!

Its a jet boat. Propeller driven boats don't bank and spray water in fashion. Or turn that way either. But ingenuity to put out the fire was smart.
Steve Grenier

Well that was epic.

And here all the while I was working with a totally different definition for "motorboating".
Mike

It's a jet boat, uses a Hamilton jet unit no prop. Only needs few inches of water to run buddy.

"0h WTF dude i wanted to turn that into insurance now they're not going to total it!!"
Canucks_Rule

nothing more to say than what's already been said… BOSS.
AstroMikeDexter

To the people saying it's stupid – I'd just like to add that by doing this, the guy in the jet boat prevented a disaster. The video was taken at Lake Lyndon, New Zealand. Our local news here (in NZ) reported that there were 2 big gas tanks on board the boat. The owner of the boat on fire was hugely thankful to the dude extinguishing it, as he actually ended up salvaging a lot of stuff he had on the boat.

Also it looks awesome as hell.
