Smoke jumpers are a special kind of fire fighter. They parachute or rappel down the mountain to get near the fire. They are highly trained and use many different methods to prevent the spread of fires. They also study the fire and report back to the commander about the best way to fight it.
Forest fires are dangerous. It is important to be careful when we visit the forest so that we protect the wild life from man-made fires. Natural forest fires can help the environment, showing once again how amazing nature is!
