Reade= r and firefighter Paul F. tells us how his Visor Prism helped rescue a crew= member and keep the flames at bay. =09 = =09 Jump in the Fire =09 I am a smokejumper for the US Forest Service in Missoula, Montana. (For t= hose who may not know, smokejumpers are airborne, forest fire fighters that= parachute into remote mountainous terrain to fight wild fires). As a Forem= an for the Missoula Smokejumpers I manage several programs and coordinate s= everal projects. My Visor helps me to stay on top of all that administrativ= e work; but more unique is how it helps me on fires. My Prism was particula= rly helpful on one fire this last summer. =09 We had a late afternoon dispatch to the Gallatin National Forest just n= orth of Yellowstone National Park in early August-another lightning ignited= fire. We were flying over the scene about one hour after receiving the cal= l. As the airplane circled the fire I noticed a couple of small spot fires = quite a distance from the main fire. I had my Prism out with the Magellan G= PS Module installed so I quickly marked a couple of waypoints as we flew = over the spots. Within a few minutes we were leaping out of the aircraft an= d floating down to our jump spot about a half mile from the fire. Unfortuna= tely one of our fellow crewmembers was hurt on landing, and because no heli= copter ambulances were available in the area, we were forced to utilize the= Malmstrom Air Force air rescue helicopter about four hours away. With my P= rism and GPS unit I was able to gather the latitude and longitude coordinat= es of our location. I had the phone number for the 40th Air Rescue Squadron= in my address book and thus was able to call them up direct on our satelli= te phone and arrange for the evacuation of the injured jumper-giving them a= ll the pertinent information, including our location. =09 The next day I grabbed pictures of the fire with my eyemodule2 . The fire = made some impressive runs as the day warmed up making for some dandy photo = opportunities but making for tough firefighting. Luckily, with some fast ac= tion and hard work on our part, we were able to get the fire under control = as the evening cooled. The pictures I captured with the eyemodule2 helped t= o make a very complete fire report at the end of the fire. The next morning (Day 3) I again used the GPS. We had been unable to find t= he spots we'd seen from the airplane by gridding for them, as they were no = longer showing any smoke. However, I was able to locate the spot fires that= I had marked as waypoints from the air. And it was a good thing too! Two o= f the spots still had hot embers in them, and thus had potential to kick up= and burn. Well, as you can see, a Handspring Visor Prism can be a pretty useful tool,= even in some pretty unlikely places. All that, and I could even play Solit= aire when we got a chance to kick back and take a break!!
