Westie says:

Likewise, I could never imagine firefighters jumping earthwards from a
perfectly good aeroplane, plummeting towards the flames at hundreds of miles
an hour, slowed by nothing but a lightweight and highly combustible
synthetic parachute as 80lbs of sharp bladed instruments, fire protection
and fighting gear dangles from straps and webbing on their bodies only to
find themselves surrounded by flames and having to run up a 50% grade,
outrunning a wildfire.
It'll never catch on.

Sarcasm ill becomes you, Westie. And is lost on the OP anyway.
