 ... some faulty Christmas lights, but it isn't. A smoke jumper is a firefighter who parachutes into a fairly inaccessible area in order to control the outbreak of flames and stop the blaze spreading. The story mainly focuses on two good friends - Ed Tully (an aspiring composer), and Connor Ford (a photographer), both of who are smoke jumpers.

Premium Review The Smoke Jumper - Nicholas Evans: What the hell is a Smoke Jumper? (443 words)

I use the word 'apparently', because the activity that acts as glue to these two men's friendship is smoke jumping - parachuting from planes to put out forest fires. They are a tight knit pair with an ...  Read the complete review
