Smokejumper

This one looked interesting and a bit different than our typical read, so I had to add it to the list. And who doesn't love firefighters?!!

Smokejumper: A Memoir by One of America's Most Select Airborne Firefighters
Author: Jason Ramos and Julian Smith
Length: 272 pages
Rating: 3.9 Goodreads

Summary: Forest and wildland fires are growing larger, more numerous, and deadlier every year — record drought conditions, decades of forestry mismanagement, and the increasing encroachment of residential housing into the wilderness have combined to create a powder keg that threatens millions of acres and thousands of lives every year. One select group of men and women are part of America's front-line defense: smokejumpers. In this extraordinarily rare memoir by an active-duty jumper, Jason Ramos takes readers into his exhilarating and dangerous world, explores smokejumping’s remarkable history, and explains why their services are more essential than ever before.
