Sarnia Fire Rescue responded to two separate grass fires along Front Street South Saturday evening.
Firefighters encountered some difficulty reaching the farthest sections of the fires because of road closures in the area.
Sarnia fire said once crews were able to gain access to the area on foot, they arrived to find two Good Samaritans on sea-doos doing their part to help by “rooster-tailing” water from the river toward the burning shoreline.
They thanked the pair for lending a hand.
In a post to social media, Sarnia Fire Rescue reminds smokers to discard of cigarette butts properly, as the dry grass around the city remains highly susceptible to ignition during the warmer than usual October temperatures.
According to the Weather Network, Sarnia was the warmest place in Ontario Saturday getting up to 30.8 degrees Celsius.
The normal high for the region this time of year is around 17 degrees Celsius.
