We never considered where water-dropping helicopters get their water from when the nearest ocean or lake is too far away. This masterful flyer decided to volunteer someone's backyard pool as the source, hovering into the tight space and dipping its helicopter-bucket in to extinguish a nearby fire. This must have been the double-dip, because someone at the house was waiting with a camera and recorded the robbery in progress. Permission or not, you can't really be mad at a firefighter for stealing your pool water to potentially save lives.
