Smoke fills the sky．The day is as dark as night．Heat makes it hard to breathe （呼吸）．This is thwart world of a wildfire fighter（消防员）！

Wildfires are a part of nature．But，as one firefighter says．"Fire is not a problem．People living near fire﹣that's the problem．"A wildfire can destroy （毁坏）everything in its way．But there are ways to fight it．

By air Smokejumpers （空降森林灭火员）are often the first firefighters to reach a fire．To get closer，they jump from a plane．They are especially important when the area is difficult to walk to．If smokejumpers can't stop a fire in 24 hours，other firefighters join them．This second group drops water on the fire from an airplane．

On the land

On the ground，firefighters work together to stop the fire．First，one group digs a fire line．This is a long deep ditch （沟）．It is difficult for the fire to cross this line．

Then，while those firefighters dig，others start a backfire （回火）．They burn the dry grass and leaves between the wildfire and the fire line．When the wildfire comes，there is nothing for it to use as fuel ．

Other firefighters cut down dead trees．That way the fire can't move to other trees．Firefighters risk their lives to keep people safe．Their job takes hard work，and it takes courage．
