GUY PUTS OUT BOAT FIRE WITH JET SKI

A Florida man is being hailed a hero for taking action to help a boat on fire near a sandbar in Tequesta. No one was doing anything about it, so Bret Townsend, a certified EMT and soon-to-be paramedic, jumped on a jet ski and headed toward the smoke after he saw the boat in flames Sunday afternoon. Townsend checked and everyone was off the boat, but he wasn’t done quite yet. He drove the jet ski toward the boat as fast as possible, then turned at the last second to spray water onto the burning boat. He sprayed the blaze for about 10 minutes from his jet ski before the fire went out. Townsend is graduating from paramedic school in July and is hoping to land a job with Palm Beach Fire Rescue.
* Or maybe the next Baywatch movie, if they ask.
* Sounds like he really … made a splash.
* It’s not often as a paramedic you get to shout “Wheeeee!!!” so many times during a rescue.
* He perfected this technique ruining kids’ sandcastles.
* Now the boat owners are suing him for water damage.
