Making a splash: One helpful speedboat owner comes to the rescue of another in New Zealand. By accelerating up and doing a last minute turn four times in a row the speedboat is able to put out the blaze engulfing the small boat on the shoreline

But suddenly armed only with James Bond-esque steering skills, a nearby speedboat driver comes to the rescue.

The boat speeds towards the burning boat and performs a last minute turn which creates a huge wave hitting the on-deck blaze.



But rather than leave the daring stunt there, the friendly speedboat comes to the rescue a following three times creating enough water to finally put out the fire in full - so there is just a huge black smoke cloud over the lake.

The only commentary comes from the small group watching and filming from a nearby road.



A man is heard saying 'If it goes bang which it is gonna, it is going to spread the fire everywhere' as the other boat is seen accelerating in the distance.



'What are you doing?' he then exclaims at the daredevil driver before adding to his friends, 'I would not do that. This guy's a nutter'.

A woman can then by heard off-camera.



'He's doing a good job though,' she points out.

'Yeah, he is', the man finally admits.



Thousands have watched and shared the video.
