Smokejumper 3
Smokejumper 3 : A smokejumper is a wildland firefighter who parachutes into a remote area to combat wildfires. Smokejumpers are most often deployed to fires that are extremely remote. The risks associated with this method of personnel deployment are mitigated by an extremely well developed training program that has evolved over the course of more than 70 years. Smokejumpers are capable of reaching a wildfire shortly after ignition when it is still relatively small and extinguishing the blaze before it becomes a problem to land managers and the public. Smokejumpers can be used outside fire suppression when there is not significant fire activity. The smokejumpers are a highly skilled and intensely trained workforce that can be quickly mobilized for a myriad of work assignments in forestry, disaster relief, and emergency management
