Smokejumpers

[JHR1985]

I've looked into it online and not a whole bunch of infomation is out there. Anyone know of any areas that offer it or infomation about it.... other than the fact that you parachute into fires.
Thanks for the infomation.


and also, how hard is it to get into the National Forestry service?

There's stuff everywhere.

try here:
http://www.smokejumpers.com/ Check with BLM and forest service or search smokejumper/hot shot (If you don't have 1 year of wildland experience)

Still think fast rope would be more useful
