Can you imagine jumping from a plane into a burning
forest? It’s a usual day’s work for smokejumpers! Smokejumpers are special
firefighters. They put out dangerous forest fires. Today I watched a TV show
about smokejumpers. On the TV show, the big forest fires looked really scary. But
the smokejumpers were very brave. To get to the fires, they wear parachutes and
jump from planes. Smokejumpers carry around 50 kg of equipment with them, so
they are healthy and strong. They stay calm when they are working. Sometimes, smokejumpers
spend up to five days fighting forest fires. I think they are heroes!
