When it comes to tough jobs, nothing beats being a smokejumper.0:36
Smokejumpers are elite firefighters who risk their lives fighting forest fires in remote areas.0:41
They bravely parachute out of aeroplanes into burning forests, where they quickly get to work putting the fire out.0:47
A smoke jumper's duties are not easy.0:56
They have to do long, tough training before they can become part of a team.0:59
Smokejumpers need to be very good parachutists and know how to read maps to get out of a forest safely.1:04
To be a smokejumper, you need to be very fit and able to work for long hours in difficult conditions, says Zach Meyers, a smokejumper at West Yellowstone.1:11
We train all the time, and we're always trying to improve.1:21
When they parachute into a fire zone, they wear a padded jump jacket and trousers, boots, gloves, a face mask and a helmet.1:24
They also carry a backpack with some food and water and a fire shelter.1:33
The aeroplane drops the tools and equipment they need to fight the fire.1:38
People think that smokejumpers have a very dangerous job, but we don't see it like that, says Zack with a smile.1:43
This job keeps me happy.1:51
I love the feeling I get when I jump out of the airplane and fly through the air.1:52
I wouldn't want any other job in the world.1:56
