Video: Martin County Florida Deputies Pulled An Unconscious Man From A Boat As It Exploded

Some wild video here from Stuart, Florida. Martin County Sheriff's Office deputies jumping onto a burning boat to pull a man to safety. Marine Deputy Buddy Sprott and Deputy Dan Hill are the ones you'll see in the video jumping onto an already on fire boat and barely hesitating after an explosion. Here's the full writeup from Martin County Sheriff's Office facebook page:

Florida has some beautiful areas, and as it turns out, some of those areas feel a lot like Europe. I’ve actually never been to Europe, but the folks who have are letting the world know which Florida – and American – areas feel like they’re straight out of Europe. If you’re like me and have never been to countries such as France, Germany and Italy, then perhaps visiting these American cities will be the next closest thing.

The publication HouseBeautiful.com has released a special list of American towns that feel the most like Europe. They mention that traveling to these areas, of course, is less pricey than getting on a plane and jetting overseas. “Before you shell out hundreds (or, most likely, thousands) of dollars traveling across the ocean, you may want to look closer to home: There are plenty of cities in the United States that look just like those quaint, historic destinations in Europe,” the publication states. “You’re going to want to go to all of them, so start saving now!”

So, what are some characteristics of a European town? For starters, they often have cobblestone streets, lots of history and an Old World feel. European towns can be very romantic, too, so this list of American towns that mirror European ones could be a good list for a romantic getaway. So, which Florida cities actually made this list? Read on to find out. I've always included some other southern towns you may like.

This city was founded back in 1565 by Spanish settlers, filled with cobblestone streets and balconies. It's the oldest city in the United States.

Greek immigrants flocked here giving this town a Mediterranean charm. 

New Orleans was founded by French colonists and then ceded to Spain in the Treaty of Paris, so there's a mix of both cultures.

Next to the Blue Ridge Mountains, this city was transformed into an Alpine-inspired village in the 1960s to attract more visitors.

Settled next to the Missouri River by German immigrants. There's a lot of wineries here.

The city was named after King Charles II of England and the influences in architecture are clear.

Founded in 1714, it's filled with French culture.

Brick homes and tree lines streets. Back in the Colonial days this was a major British seaport.
