When it comes to tough jobs, nothing beats being a smokejumper! Smokejumpers are elite firefighters who risk their lives fighting forest fires in remote areas. They bravely parachute out of aero planes into burning forests, where they quickly get to work putting the fire out. A smokejumper’s duties are not easy. They have to do long tough training before they can become part of a team. Smokejumpers need to be brave and very good parachutists, and know how to read maps to get out of a forest safely. “To be a smokejumper you need to be very fit, and able to work for long hours in difficult conditions”, says Zach Meyers, a smokejumper at West Yellowstone. They always train and are trying to improve all the time. When they parachute into a fire zone they wear a padded jump jacket and trousers, boots, gloves, a face mask and a helmet. They also carry a backpack with some food and water, and a fire shelter. The aero plane drops the tools and special equipment they need to fight the fire.
