A Queensland man is being hailed a hero after putting out a boat fire with his jet ski over the long weekend.

Video of Jason Dobinson ripping doughies to splash water on to a burning boat is being shared across social media – and it’s pretty impressive stuff.

There’s something about heroic hooning that just makes a proud Aussie heart sing.

Dobinson, from Maroochydore, was camping at Boondooma Dam in the South Burnett region of Queensland when a nearby boat burst into flames.

As we learned from a yarn for Central Queensland News from Sunshine Coast journo Matty Holdsworth, Dobinson searched frantically for a fire extinguisher before jumping on the jet ski.

He’d seen a YouTube video of someone doing the same thing in the US and was inspired to take action.

A few splashes of dam water from the ski extinguished the blaze and cemented Dobinson’s place as an Aussie hero.

The back of the boat was completely burnt out, but a major catastrophe was avoided.

Dobinson’s fire fighting skills are now legendary thanks to Facebook, but unfortunately it seems he hasn’t been able to convert that acclaim into a tangible reward.

“I’m a bit disappointed as the owner didn’t buy me a carton of beer for my troubles,” he told Tom Flanagan at Yahoo 7.

Geez.

We hope a carto makes it your way soon, mate.
