Question

 Every year,wildfires (野火) destroy much forest land. Homes are broken down,and thousands of people die. Smokejumpers are helping to stop this. Smokejumpers are a special kind of firefighters. They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot They try to put out fires as fast as they can.

At a fire site,smokejumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop fire from spreading,using basic tools such as shovels and axes. Smokej umpers clear land of burnable material like plants and other dry material. They carry water with them too,but not much.

Although most smokejumpers are men,more women are joining. Most important are your weight and height. Smokejumpers in theU. S.for example,must be 54 to 91 kilograms,so they don't get hurt when they land,or get blown by strong winds.

Smokej umpers must be able to live in the wilderness. InRussia,many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and even make simple furniture from trees.

The work is dangerous and the hours are long. But for these firefighters,smokejumper isn't just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes,fight fires,and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian smokej umper Alex Tishin says, "This is the best job for the strong and brave."
