Smoke Jumper

A smoke jumper is a specially trained firefighter who quickly leaps into remote forest areas to combat wildfires. They parachute from airplanes directly into the fire zone, allowing rapid access to hard-to-reach locations. Smoke jumpers assess the fire, create firebreaks, and work to contain and extinguish flames before they spread further. Their unique training includes survival skills, firefighting techniques, and navigation in rugged terrain. They play a crucial role in preventing small fires from becoming large, destructive wildfires, protecting ecosystems, property, and communities.
