Smokejumper Social

Last day to get those apps in. Search “smokejumper” at USAjobs.gov. Apply for any region you are interested in working. Thanks @choss.monzonite for the great vid! These are the fires we dream about…and here you are living the dream! “The Phelps Ridge Fire exemplifies why smokejumping was conceived, and why it’s effective. All fires start small, and if you get there quick enough, it might not take much to catch them before they become an ordeal.” 🎥: @choss.monzonite #smokejumpers #smokejumper #wildlandfirefighter #firefighter #firefighters #smokejumping

A smokejumper lands near the Bingham Fire this year. If you want to land near some fires by parachute next year, get your apps in. Open right now at USAjobs.gov, search “smokejumper” in keyword search, and then apply for the region or regions you are interested in. Many regions have done some hiring during phase two, some like Missoula and Redmond are only hiring off phase 3 right now. Get those apps in! Open till 11/6/24. Thanks for the tag and 📸: @centraloregonrappellers ・・・ “It’s not over ‘til it’s over. 32X and crew responded to the Bingham Fire, along with other aerially delivered resources from the @granderonderappellers, Redmond Smokejumpers, and Redding Smokejumpers. As the incident emerged, we found ourselves plugged in all around the fire as Divisions, Task Force Leaders, Felling Bosses, Lookouts, and snag mitigators. It was hot, it was cold (very cold), and it kept us on our toes. We’ve got extra warm layers packed in our belly bags, and we’re ready to see what the rest of October has in store for us as the nation moves back up to a PL of 5.” #smokejumpers #smokejumper #smokejumping #centraloregonrappellers #firefighter #firefighters #wildlandfirefighter

Great Bro Boogie balloon edit shared by @Droplyneballoons. This is year 7 of bro boogie and probably year 5 of taking balloon flights with Cornelius. We always have a great time, and this year had enough bros to do two lifts. If you are ever in Moab Utah or Eloy, Arizona look for Droplyne and take a balloon ride. #broboogie7 #droplyne

One day down, so much fun with the bros! Everyone knocking the rust off.

Big fire and big wood in NorCal… 🎥: @burrisk17 #californiasmokejumpers #wildlandfirefighter #smokejumper

Great edit from a non conventional fire jump by Boise SMKJ @tyler.c.rowland “A quick overview of a Smokejumper mission we had this summer. This is the Beaver Tail Mesa Fire that we jumped out of Grand Junction, Colorado on July 20, 2023 🦫” #wildlandfirefighter #smokejumper #greatbasinsmokejumpers

Jumping tiny timber holes among glaciers in NCSB… “A couple of the boys jumped a really cool spot above Diablo Lake yesterday. Here’s @j.ryanphillips going single stick into the best deal of his life. Tight spot, rad country, small fire, short pack out. And they were grateful.” 🎥: @choss.monzonite #northcascadessmokejumpers #wildlandfirefighter #smokejumper
