Have you ever seen firefighters(消防员) put out the fire when a fire broke out in the forest Now I'll tell you something about smokejumpers(空降森林消防员)and let you know more about it.
Smokejumpers are special firefighters. They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot,like the middle of a mountain forest. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
At the scene of the fire, smokejumpers first check the land and decide how to fight the fire. They try their best to stop a fire from spreading(蔓延).Using their tools, smokejumpers clear the land of flammable things like dry grass and leaves(叶子). They usually carry some water with them.
In the USA,although most smokejumpers are men, more women are joining. The important thing is that their height and weight must be within a certain range(范围).For example, smokejumpers in the USA must be between 120 and 200 pounds,so they don't get hurt when they land,or get blown by strong winds.
Smokejumpers must also be able to live in the wilderness. In Russia,many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and make simple tools.
The work is dangerous,and the hours are long. But for smokejumpers,smokejumping isn't just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes,fight fires,and live in the forest. As a28-year-old Russian smokejumper,Alexi Tishin says,“This is the best job for brave people.”
