In August 1993, the National Smokejumper Association (NSA) published the first issue of its quarterly newsletter, Static Line. This title was renamed Smokejumper Magazine in October 1999. This newsletter contains articles about former smokejumpers, fires, and smokejumper history. It also describes the activities of the NSA.
According to The NSA website, the NSA is "dedicated to preserving the history and lore of smokejumping, maintaining and restoring our nation's forest and rangeland resources and responding to the special needs of smokejumpers and their families."
