A smokejumper is a fire fighter who goes into a remote wildfire, usually by helicopter, to attack the fire. At the start of 2025, Los Angeles was hit by two devastating wildfires. It was a terrible and scary time for the city and so many were affected. As in so many disasters, the light that shines through the darkness is the human spirit. So many of us stepped up to help, volunteering with clean ups and donations, housing friends, and giving generously. In this piece, my little water sprite is doing their part. Though it’s a small contributions, together it adds up to something big.
