A day at work with Lisa Jones.

Lisa Jones has just jumped out of the aeroplane. She’s falling towards the ground very quickly. Below her she can’t see trees. Nearby, she can see smoke and flames. The trees are on fire. It’s a forest fire! Is this a bad dream? No, it’s just another day at work for Lisa Jones. Lisa is thirty years old. She works for the United States Forest Service in the State of Oregon. She is a firefighter. When a forest fire is near a road, firefighters drive big fire engines to fight the fire. But some forests in Oregon are very large and they haven’t got roads. Firefighters like Lisa Jones must fly over the fires in an aeroplane. They must use a parachute to reach the ground near the fires safely. Lisa is called a smoke jumper.

«It is difficult, it is dangerous. But I love everything about the job,» Lisa says. «I love working to save the forest.»

Smoke jumpers must be in top physical condition. They must pass a complicated physical test that includes forty-five sit-ups, twenty-five push-ups and seven pull-ups. They need special training to learn how to parachute safely in the forest.

«My job is never boring!» says Lisa. «Every fire is different in some way, but all of them are dangerous.» Firefighters sometimes breathe smoke. This can cause lung problems. Smoke jumping is not the right job for everyone. But if you are brave and strong and you like to work outdoors, it might be for you. (Lewis Landsford and D’Arcy Adrian – Vallance, Comprehension 2)
