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."
