A three-minute video a group of firefighters jumping rope is catching fire on social media.

It has been viewed more than 10 million times since it was posted on Weibo by the Jinshan Fire Brigade on April 21.

In the video, eight jumpers and two firemen holding the rope operate in amazing unison.

Netizens were amazed at how perfect the performance was — not a single stumble.

"That was the most impressive skipping I've ever seen," posted one user.

Another joked, "Maybe I've seen some special effects."

The Jinshan fire department said the video was captured during its Spring Firefighters Sports Meeting on April 13. 

Rope skipping is an annual event, which requires 10 participants to trust each other and work in sync to finish without any mistakes in just three minutes.

“Just like a real fire rescue, no mistake is allowed in every link, and no soldier can fall behind as well.”
