Jason was playing a game of cricket in his backyard when a hot air balloon landed on the stumps.
The hot air balloon fell on its side and the hot flame hit the fence setting it on fire.
Jason tried to put the fire out with a fire extinguisher but it did not work. Jason called his mum for help but she ran away screaming. Jason called the fire brigade but when they arrived their water tank was empty.
So Jason got the pressure washer and put the fire out himself. "Hooray, Hooray, we are saved" said the people of the hot air balloon. "Jason is a hero!"
