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.

What is the salary of a Smokejumper for the National Forestry Service
Good smokejumpers can be found by contacting rural fire stations. They usually have contacts with smokejumpers whom they have employed in the past, and provide first hand information regarding their qualities.
What I learned from being a smokejumper is that if a group of people are committed to a common goal and everyone works as hard as they can many great things can be accomplished.
