What had dropped on the firefighter was a diver's mask. It has slipped off the skeletal remains of the diver. The diver's suit is how the firefighter knew it was a diver. How did a diver get out in the middle of a forest, though? This was the question that struck everyone with uncertainty.
The diver was said to have been picked up by a helicopter's water vaccuum, the device used to pick up water from near-by lakes or water supplies and dump over major fires, forest fires.
This urban legend is very unlikely, but I have heard it several times. I have seen several programs saying that the idea of a diver being picked up by one of the machines is nearly imposible. I guess, if the diver was small (like a kid), it could become a possibility. Another factor that makes it seem odd is the noise the machine probably produces when "sucking-up" all the water. I think I would try to get the hell out of there!!!
