BLM Smokejumpers: Trail Canyon Fire

Great Basin Smokejumpers. Trail Canyon Fire mission - Colorado. Spotter briefing and jump for a three person stick of smokejumpers.
Smokejumpers are unique because of the way they reach the fireline: they parachute from an airplane 3,000 feet above the ground. When wildfires ignite in remote and isolated locations, smokejumpers are able to reach them fast - because they can parachute to wildfires when there are no roads or trails nearby - and get to work long before anyone could hike or drive to the fire.

Excellent video! God bless our smoke jumpers and firefighters.

A very random question; for contract aircraft, isn't a USFS inspection, or DOI Office of Aviation Services card, in addition to the Red Card?

[@BLMNIFC]

Thanks for reaching out to us. These are two separate cards, a red card is for personnel going to the fire and the USFS/OAS card for the aircraft delivering them. Hope that helps.

@@BLMNIFC Sorry; my phone decided to cut off the rest of my message, meaning to ask if both are required, which you answered. Thank you.
