aerial fire depot and smokejumper center印象

I enjoyed the scenery and the tour was real good . The lDy was very knowledgeable and knew the answers to any questions . It was also neat to walk through there work space and see how things were done and seeing them doing there parachutes !!

I brought my family to get a glimpse into the life of a smokejumper at Region 1 headquarters, Missoula. My little brother used to jump out of this base and it was fun to see his picture on the wall and run into people who knew him on the base. His daughter designed the signs outside. I enjoyed the video clips on firefighting, the full-sized replica of a lookout tower, the parachute bay, the jump plane tour, and humorous presentation of our tour guide. Time well spent!

Be sure to take the tour and treat your guests to the museum. This is especially good in the summer when there is much activity and the jumpers are there! Lots of history and it is fun and interesting both, to see where the jumpers are based, who go all over to fight the fires for our safety.

You will be able to learn quite a bit about the Smokejumper program that began in 1939 on the Okanogan National Forest outside Winthrop, WA.

Super great stop for a family to tour where the smoke jumpers live and see what their lives are like waiting for a fire. Saw the parachutes hanging and how they fold them, toured the airplane and tried to lift the 80 lb pack they wear in a fire. The men live and work in this museum/dorm space. Excellent education.

It was free but we left a donation.We learned so much about the smoke jumpers. The tour guide did a great job!! It takes some very special men and women to do this job!!

We visited, because we were interested in the training and occupation of smokejumpers. Museum was interesting. Be sure and take a tour with one of the well-informed interns - very informative. And be sure and try to pick up that 80 pound pack. It gives us great appreciation for the people who do this job. Especially timely, since there was a big fire in Eastern Washington at the time.

Wasn't sure what this would be like but it was so worth a visit. It was a real privilege to see the areas where these brave people work. The guide was well informed and there were lots of opportunities for questions. Good displays

Make sure to take the tour which is completely behind the scenes. You get to see the complete operation of the smoke jumper base and we even spent some time inside the DC-3 jump plane. If you are anywhere nearby during fire season is well worth the time.

The visitor center and tours are free and if your timing is right you might get a tour of a jump plane too. We learned a lot about wildfires, smoke jumpers and how the whole process works. And we got to tour the DC-3 and the Sherpa (Shorts 360) too. If you are in the area, this is well worth the 1-2 hours max for a tour.
