Firework-launching drone lights bonfire

Drones became a trendy Christmas present this year, but this is one use buyers probably didn't have in mind.

A brilliant video has emerged from Montreal, Canada of a man using his drone to light a bonfire - converting it into a makeshift rocket launcher using fireworks and flying it at the piled tinder.

The drone struggles to stay airborne as the roman candles launch fireballs forward, but the filmer manages to keep it pointing at the bonfire - setting it ablaze with the burning projectiles.

The firework-launching drone then continues to shoot in all directions as the bonfire burns underneath in the video filmed the day after boxing day.
