Fire Authorities in California found a corpse in a burnt out section of
forest whilst assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased male
was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with a dive tank, flippers and face
mask. A post mortem examination revealed that the person died not from
burns but from massive internal injuries. Dental records provided a positive
identification.
Investigators then set about determining how a fully clad diver ended up in
the middle of a forest fire. It was revealed that, on the day of the fire,
the person went for a diving trip off the coast - some 20 kilometers away
from the forest. The firefighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as
possible, called in a fleet of helicopters with very large buckets. The
buckets were dropped into the ocean for rapid filling, then flown to the
forest fire and emptied.
You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the
Pacific, the next he was doing a breaststroke in a fire bucket 300m in the
air. Apparently, he extinguished exactly 1.78m (5'10") of the fire.
Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
