Firefighters are amazing human beings. They put themselves in danger every time they go to work, facing down something most of us are scared of.

This fire-fighting helicopter pilot is a good example. As he scoops water out of a swimming pool in order to fight a fire very close to houses.

The amount of skill required to scoop water out of a swimming pool located right next to a house is amazing, but this guy manages it without breaking a sweat.

Apparently, he repeated this maneuver a number of time until he had extinguished the fire. And everyone was grateful, with the possible exception of the owner of the swimming pool.
