When I first saw this this I wondered what would happen if they damaged the pool somehow. Sure, people are all, "Go ahead and take my pool water to put out the fire." Then the pump burns out due to a low water level and the homeowner starts talking about suing.

An awesome example of incredible piloting skills!


Pools usually have a fail safe valve in the skimmer that will close if the water level drops, it starts pulling from the drain at the bottom of the pool.

To be fair though, I think most people wouldn't mind a bit of damage to their pool, if it meant still having the pool and home.

Notice how the smoke line was right up against their fence. I'm sure they didn't mind.
