Russian firefighters made a hovercraft like those jet ski-powered jetpacks. I don’t know what’s happening in Russia that they needed to invent flying firefighters, but they can now levitate with the power of water to save you wherever you are. (Provided “wherever you are” is a few feet off the ground and relatively nearby. Otherwise, you’re on your own.)

Volunteer fire stations, this is how you draw in new recruits from my generation. Take note.
