Helicopter Takes Water From a Nearby Pool to Help Fight a Forest Fire

A skilled helicopter pilot in Portugal managed to take water from a nearby swimming pool to help fight an out-of-control forest fire. The unknown pilot did an incredible job of maneuvering in for the water, which was scooped up in a hanging bucket, while also avoiding any of the surrounding trees and obstacles.
