Dedication

Arthur H. Jukkala 3/30/35–7/12/99

This report is dedicated to the memory of Arthur H. Jukkala, an MTDC employee who spent his career working to improve the health and safety of wildland firefighters. As program leader for the fire and safety and health programs, he was responsible for the development of uniforms, personal protective equipment, tools, nutrition, hydration, fitness, employee health, and other health and safety projects. After his retirement in 1990 he served as consultant on the development of the Pack Test, and was active in the Smokejumper’s Association. Family, sculpting, woodworking, travel, and vigorous outdoor pursuits filled his retirement years. He came to rest in his favorite place, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, while leading a volunteer trail crew composed of exsmokejumpers.
