Idaho Smokejumper Base

Idaho Smokejumper Base is a facility where trained firefighters, known as smokejumpers, are stationed to quickly respond to wildfires in remote, forested areas. These expert team members jump from aircraft directly into fire zones to contain and suppress fires before they spread. The base provides specialized training, equipment, and support necessary for rapid wildfire response, playing a critical role in safeguarding land, property, and communities across Idaho and neighboring regions. It operates during peak fire seasons, ensuring swift, effective action against wildfires in hard-to-reach areas.
