Smokejumpers use the same techniques for fire control as those arriving in remote areas on foot: separate the fire from the fuel, cool the fire, hope for the best. Most smokejumpers have years of prior experience with the hand tools and chainsaws use for creating a fuel break (called a fireline) around the fire. On occasion, they may be assisted by other air resources such as helicopters with water-drop equipment or airplanes with fire retardant drops. Smokejumpers also take the lead to clear a landing area for landing additional personnel and equipment, possibly even portable water tanks, pumps and hoses, brought in by helicopter or air-dropped using parachutes.
