Homes are damaged, and thousands of people die. Smokejumpers are helping to stop this. What is a smokejumper? Smokejumpers are a special type of firefighter. They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, like the middle of a mountain forest. They race to put out fires as fast as they can. What do smokejumpers do? At a fire site, smokejumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop a fire from spreading. Using basic equipment such as shovels and axes, smokejumpers clear land of burnable material like plants and other dry material. They carry water with them too, but only a limited amount. Who can be a smokejumper? Although the majority of smokejumpers are men, more women are joining. Most important are your height and weight. Smokejumpers employed in the U.S., for example, must be 120 to 200 pounds (54 to 91 kilograms), so they don’t get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds. Smokejumpers must also be capable of surviving in the wildness. The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for these firefighters, smokejumping isn’t just an occupation. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old smokejumper Bob Smith says, “This is the best job for tough guys.” 1．What is the first thing a smokejumper does after arriving at a fire site? A．Clear the land. B．Study the area.
