TIL On August 5, 1949 in Helena National Forest, 16 smokejumpers from the Forest Service jumped from planes to put out a fire in Mann Gulch. Shortly after they jumped, a “blow up” occurred in the fire, consuming over 3,000 acres of land in 10 minutes. Only 3 of the smokejumpers survived.

Young Men and Fire is a very interesting book about this event.
I make 85 dollars each hour for working an online job at home. I never thought I can do it but my best friend makes 10000 bucks every month working this job and she recommended me to learn more about it.
The potential with this is endless… https://googleworksoffer96.blogspot.com/
Is smoke jumping still happening?
I’m making over $13k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do. http://www.Profit97.com
