Smokejumper helmet cam 2012 (volume warning). 

In June of 2012, smokejumpers from Alaska and Montana parachute into a
remote area in Alaska to protect structures in the path of Fire 225. The
video is taken over the course of three hours as the flame front
approaches using a helmet mounted camera. The last shot is from a
helicopter as the jumpers leave, showing the line where the fire was
held around the structures. Protecting these remote structures preserves
the rich tradition and subsistence lifestyle still practiced in the
Alaskan bush.
