Nate Rose, and Ned Barnett, sit inside the Dornier 228 plane headed to McCall in Idaho at the West Yellowstone Smokejumper base in West Yellowstone, Montana, U.S., August 10, 2021. Smokejumpers are known for their emotional calm and mental alertness. "If you're easily excitable, you're probably more prone to make mistakes during your initial parachute training," says West Yellowstone base manager Knute Olson (not pictured).

Mark Duffey, 47, helps Nate Rose put on safety gear before getting into the Dornier 228 plane at the West Yellowstone Smokejumper base in West Yellowstone, Montana, U.S., August 10, 2021. Raised in Montana by a smokejumper father, Mark never doubted he'd end up working with nature. Since then, he's completed more than 100 fire jumps. "Every jump is a little different," he says, citing the wind and the varying landing spots. "I really like the little meadows in the wilderness."

Drift smoke from surrounding fires covers the mountain ranges surrounding the Patrol Mountain Fire Lookout in Augusta, Montana, U.S., July 15, 2021. By around the 1950s, around 5,000 fire lookout towers had been built across the United States. Many have since closed, as infrared cameras and drones replace the human eye. The Forest Fire Lookout Association estimates that only around 400 lookout towers are still operational today. REUTERS/Brittany Hosea-Small SEARCH "WILDFIRES LOOKOUT" FOR THIS STORY.
