😂😂

[@jetkrazee]

Best comment ever!

[@Planespotterdude]

Lol yup. Man thats funny

[@Jim_86]

Mike Gordon. Dude. Awesome comment. 👍👍🤣🤣

[@mrabrasive51]

And they never complained about that noisy boat ever again!

[@blank-dr2kx]

Haha brilliant comment

[@jessjoeking]

Tasha Hunt and Koyne Watson, thank you from another Okanagan BC Resident for the fantastic work killing another potential beast. The past days have been incredible with fire starts (fire bugs and pyros at play) up and down the valley. Your speedy speed boat efforts are obviously a great gift you gave back to a community. Your boat rocks, and so do you both. Thanks BIG time! HIP HIP HOORAY (x3)

[@yjjeepman]

That’s awesome!!! Glad they were recognized!!!

[@winstonpratt604]

Great stuff

[@toddbaumann3980]

You know turned to his wife and said hold my beer and watch this!awsome job

[@codprawn]

The best sounding fire engine I have ever heard!

[@jahb77ss95]

4 years later and still one of the dopest things ever captured and to be done. Kudos to that guy. Oh he definitely captain of the ship when they got home lol

[@thinredline8939]

Fire crews get there and be like what did they call us for. Lol

[@danyf3116]

...maybe they were up for some water skiing.

[@truthfilterforyoutube8218]

Other uploads say he definitely " Helped"....I'd say he contained 95% of this fire. Not just what you see, but how much it could have been !

[@mysty0]

I'd say if it wasn't for him by the time Emergency Services arrived it would have been potentially out of control!

[@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965]

💯

[@kaspervestergaard2383]

Yes it is wasn't for him the entire earth would have burned down. All the oceans would have caught fire.

[@kaspervestergaard2383]

yes.

[@kaspervestergaard2383]

@Anime Tiddies I would have been the same if he didn't do that.

[@Juno58]

That boat has a hell of great sound!

[@eriks836]

I love a V8 with open headers! Music to my ears

[@aj44mag]

this guy deserves a medal, he probably saved those homes from certain disaster....a hero in my eyes.

[@EMKYT]

Congratulation for speed boat owner! That is awesome!

[@ssgjohnny94]

That's no speed boat

[@mediamonitor980]

We needed this guy this week!

[@zzz7zzz9]

no doubt.

[@robertordewald8678]

Now he can add 'FIREBOAT Operator' to his Resume'

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

Bet that guy doesn't drive a prius

[@givemefreespeechyoutubehitlers]

He vomits at the thought of them

[@benrousseau]

He probably does, just nobody knows

[@williamsporing1500]

Who would?

[@renaarmstrong2838]

👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂BEST COMMENT!!!!

[@osvaldoreyes34]

It would have exploded and made its own fire.

[@carlyisaac4669]

The guy got a service medal from the police and fire department abd city of Kamloops

[@Leonidas6674]

Got speed? that man! may God bless him and his finely tuned machine when in doubt all you have go do is turn up, and this man did! Props on the driving amazing skills.

[@thomasfletcher4765]

I know I'm a few years late , but , great work ( from a former firefighter ) ! 👍

[@CuriousCat777]

Sweet. What an amazing couple of guys! Thank you for your great efforts.

[@marcusj4467]

How have I not seen this video before, I’m from there and did the initial attack firefighting a while back, classic vid boys

[@carsurvivalist]

Just think of all the times this boater practiced this on his beach dwelling buddies. Practice makes perfect.

[@knowledgeispowermediaprodu7094]

This, is the new coolest thing I have EVER seen in my life!! You guys rock!!!!

[@intheblinkofaneye2630]

this is still one of my fav moments in kamloops!!!!

[@cameronmacnab2042]

Very impressive i hope he doesn't have to pay for his fuel for the rest of the boat season what a legend!!

[@Ricky-kt9dv]

BC government is so backwards they’ll probably fine him for eroding the bank

[@letsbehonest4221]

Not all heroes wear capes . . Some just drive realy cool boats

[@rescue1107]

holy shit never seen this done before cool shit

[@Hallmighty]

5th video in a row of watching a boat/jet ski put out a fire. This one was the most impressive. Probably sounds like a dragster because it has a dragster motor in it. lol. Well done!

[@dmasskill3289]

legend has it hes still fighting our fires to this day, one boat trip at a time.

[@Here_Today_]

Town folk ought to chip in and pay for his boat fuel for a season. Nice job✌👍👍👍

[@robert9595]

Probably racing fuel

[@donovanm.4389]

I hope they do.

[@GP9railfan]

Fireboat 1 on scene! Haha

[@johnbouley4514]

Call Him The Fireman!!

[@ffandrewd2986]

Call the boat that

[@datsuntoyy]

This guy is too awesome! A moment of silence for the fish that sacrificed their lives in the making of this video.

[@chrismoltisanti2763]

Did that guy really ask "is the boat water proof?"

[@jayasmrmore3687]

Lmao

[@jayasmrmore3687]

Well I mean even boats are not something you want to submerge. They can be left in rain but will get dirty quickly

[@thecommenter6839]

His phone😂

[@brookeroram1620]

Phone, not boat

[@baltsosser]

I was there last summer dealing with the fallout of fires in and around Whisper Lake and Prince George. 87 North was totally useless. We had to ride through Kamloops all the way around just to get to Prince George. Glad to see folks like this guy handling that business. If I would have to reroute farther east just to go west, it would have eaten up more than a couple of days.

[@mikeganor7439]

Home town hero!!

[@winstonpratt604]

I can't stop smiling what a great guy

[@williamsporing1500]

Great job! The best part is, he’s having a blast too!

[@cherylsibson2529]

You've done it before, and you'd do it again, Kamloops is on fire!

[@elgato-tz1de]

Amazing bro!!this is wonderful moment for the word🤗👍 thanks

[@stevetee1225]

That was one of the coolest things I ever seen good thinking from the jet boat driver kudos to him

[@imissmypeep2209]

I came here for the fire, stayed for the engine sounds ! That was badass. What an effort to help out. Props. Ba-da-bump! I'll show myself out! Haha.

[@Beezlie727]

No props...actually jet drive! 👍😂😂

[@johnfryman4428]

Bless you and your badass boat - good show !

[@emtae65]

"HE PUT FIRE 00000TT !!!!"

[@riphaven]

in jersey, firemen would be like good job, police would write a summons for open pipes.

[@tumanuvaomeaole9458]

Bigg Respect . I love it .

[@merctr2]

Hell yeah that is freaking awesome

[@canuckfixit7722]

Kudos that speedboat driver and his/her skills at directing the discharge from the jet to where it was needed.

[@riteshsharma6434]

Awesome. ..That's real Talent..God Bless him

[@Cougnut5150]

The hero is the owner of cobra contracting out of Kamloops

[@FilipeFGoncalves]

Simple and creative at the same time!

[@cdnroofer]

Holy SH!T Those are 2-300ft roosters. Those people need to be recommended for their courageous act.

[@kernel1949]

Nice video work Bro!!!

[@NumquamDeorsum]

Next time someone is trying to help a situation and YOU aren't, stay the hell out of the way!

[@antoniolobianco1222]

Beautiful and very good.

[@v8s10man1]

Heros dont need capes, sometimes all you need is a badass blown big block jetboat with a place diverter

[@leroyshipp7532]

Freakn Awesome! !!!

[@KumaBean]

I used to work on twin-cats whose two caterpillar engines would each shift the equivalent of an Olympic sized swimming pool every two seconds, it's a damn impressive sight up-close and personal, but those things were huge compared to that little thing. What I'm getting at here is that comparatively speaking, the power to weight ratio on that thing must be through the roof, lol 👌 🍻

[@drholt2]

Love the eloquent commentary

[@kommler8292]

Awesome !!!

[@chriswhittorn]

iIwanna build myself a redlining v8 fire truck. What a ripper of a bloke. Well done mate.

[@MsUltrafox]

And the fire department is like "WHERE IS THAT FIRE"

[@forg0tten]

That was the greatest thing I've ever seen. Give that man a gas card.

[@Darkside-sk3nj]

That was superb stuff.

[@houghtonjeannie]

Awesome video

[@leoroy5193]

Very impressive!!

[@abbij2009]

This must have been over quick because i live in kamloops and i didnt see it

[@JacobFraps]

That man is a legend

[@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965]

I bet the guy driving the boat had a righteous firefighter mustache !!!

[@merlinkrisp3792]

Ya that was awesome great job

[@FlyinCameras]

Badass!

[@doebuck9708]

[@Echi1d]

[@NeuKrofta]

[@VinxPlanilla]

[@BobbydAlvarez]

[@everthingoutdoors8181]

I'm imagining the fire department rolling up on this just seeing water being spurted from down below

[@sharonbraselton4302]

yeß

[@Woody615]

Great video. Have you thought about running it through an image stabilization program? It would take out a lot of the shake for a clearer view. Just a thought.

[@blessedcurbappeals7512]
