Every year, wildfires(野火) destroy much forest land. homes are broken down, and thousands of
people
die. smokejumpers are stop help
ing to stop this.
Smokejumpers are a special kind of firefight. they jump from places into areas that difficult to reach
by car or on foot. they race to put out fires as fast as they can.
At a fire site, Smokejumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. their main goal is
to stop fire from spreading. using basic tools such as shovels and axes, smokejumpers clear land of
burnable material like plants and other dry material. they
carry water with them too, but not much.
Although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining. M
ost important are your weight
and height. Smokejumpers in the U.S. for example ,must be 54 to 91 kilograms, so they don't get hurt
when they land, or get blown by strong winds.
Smokejumpers must be able to live in the wild
erness. in Russia ,many smokejumpers know how to
find food in the forest and even make simple furniture from trees.
Theyir work is dangerous, the hours are long. But for these firefighters, smokejumpers isn't just a job.
They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian
smokejumpers Alexi Tishin says,"This is the best job for the strong and brave."
