I've got an ex-student out west (Lord knows where this week with the west dry as a tinderbox this summer) who became a smokejumper a few years back. After seeing the size and the scope of what those people have to fight I'm amazed and in awe at what she does. I still discretely follow her exploits on Facebook and while I know she's got some amazing training, a great team, and enough moxie to conquer anything- I still pray for all of their safe return after every mission.
