I continue embedding videos about various wildland firefighting crews. Today and again this Wednesday (January 7), I will be embedding videos about smokejumpers. Today, you will watch a video from the McCall Smokejumpers. You will learn what goes into being a smokejumper and what they do, thanks to some great footage of the McCall Smokejumpers 2012 season. The McCall Smokejumpers have been around since 1943.

I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
