A fire is burning in Olympic National Park. It’s strange to think of a rainforest having a wildfire.
Some crews are working to fight the fire, including the smoke jumpers in the video above. The crew was jumping into the Queets Rainforest. Check it out. (If you just want to see the jump, skip ahead to 1:30.) It’s worth watching to the end.
These smoke jumpers impress me. If I had to jump out of a plane, I would not then be capable of going to fight a fire. I’d probably be content with simply not puking or crying.
And for some photos that really put things in perspective, check out this post.
