Decal bears logo of "Parattack" division of BC Forest Service. As their name suggests, these forest firefighters attack from the air, via parachute from altitudes of 450 metres. Candidates must have a minimum of 1-year firefighting experience, preferably from within the Forest Service, and maintain a dressed weight of under 200 lbs. They undergo 2 weeks of ground training, followed by 10 certification jumps, and must maintain a high standard of physical fitness. Parattack crews respond primarily to new fires reported in the region, jumping from a twin-engine fixed wing aircraft, a DeHavilland Twin Otter. Each crew consists of 6 smokejumpers and a spotter: standard equipment load is approx. 1400 lbs. (refs. 2 & 3)
Function
Identifies wearer/user as being affiliated with a specific group, in this case the Parattack forest firefighters.
