brain teaser #8

There is a fire in a building. They need exactly 7 quarts of water to put it out (don't worry about why). A man goes out to the river with the only two bukets they have: a 5 quart bucket and a 3 quart bucket. The buckets are not see-through and they have no level indicator markings. How does the man get exactly 7 quarts of water?
