What are smokejumpers?
They are trained wildland firefighters who parachute into remote areas to extinguish fires. They are men and women who are on the front lines fighting forest and wildfires in order to save the environment from fire destruction. They are strong, dedicated, and brave.
With action-packed pictures and a simple, informative text, volunteer firefighter and fine artist Chris L. Demarest shows us how smokejumpers perform their unusual and difficult job of keeping all of us safe.
Review
Chuck SheleyVice President, National Smokejumper Association (NSA) and Editor, Smokejumper magazineI'm fired up about Smokejumpers One to Ten! With spare text and spectacular images, the book takes us right into the thrilling realm of smokejumping. Chris Demarest has brought our unusual profession to life and pays a lasting tribute to smokejumpers past and present. This book is great! I'd recommend it to anyone interested in fire fighting!
