Sorcha,

Best of luck to the mister. I hope he doesn't get nailed by a snot drop.

Anyone who is interested can get a good look at the smokejumper's life by reading Jumping Fire by Murry Taylor. See also Young Men and Fire, and Fire on the Mountain by Mc Lean, father and son. It's spooky how closely the Mann Gulch and Storm King fires resemble each other and the Mc Leans tell the tales well.
