## Resource

Smokejumpers, the elite wildland firefighters parachuted into remote fire zones, are racing against time as wildfires surge to record levels—nearly 35,000 fires burning over 2.8 million acres this year alone. Born in 1939 and forged in Missoula’s rugged terrain, these “Swiss army knives” of firefighting operate with unmatched autonomy, tackling everything from controlled burns to raging infernos. Yet, as the U.S. Forest Service restructures amid budget cuts and layoffs, their future hangs in the balance. Their innovations—fire shelters, flame-resistant gear—saved lives, born from the front lines. As climate chaos intensifies, these resilient, tightly-knit teams remain the nation’s last line of defense, ready to leap into danger when the call comes.
