Smokejumpers

Smokejumpers are specially trained firefighters who parachute into remote areas to combat wildfires. They often reach locations that are difficult to access by road, allowing them to take immediate action to control fire spread. Smokejumpers undergo rigorous training for parachuting, fire management, and survival skills. They typically jump from aircraft and land near the fire, equipped with tools and supplies. Their quick response plays a crucial role in minimizing damage to ecosystems, property, and communities. Smokejumpers represent a vital part of wildfire management, combining aviation and firefighting expertise in challenging conditions.
