Parachutes and protective clothing are paramount to the smokejumper's success. They use them to arrive alive and then survive.

How do smoke jumpers stop a wildfire?

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.


Do you use equipment with singular or plural verb?

Since equipment is uncountable, it would take a singular verb. Equipment "is," but pieces of equipment "are."

Use Your Own Equipment?

When you go on a ski vacation, take your own ski equipment. The fees to use the equipment at the lodges are high, and if you are only there for a day, you will probably spend more money than you want to.
