Explanation:

Exposition is the part of the story in which the author introduces the characters, the setting and other elements or pieces of information that will contextualize the story. In this case, we are being introduced to the park ranger and his location.

Complicating incident introduces a possible conflict. In the passage, everything is fine until the ranger thinks he can smell smoke. His actions are now in accordance to this incident.

Rising action means the that character is now facing more conflicts, that there are more events taking place. In this case, it consists of the ranger leaving his station and trying to find the origin of the smell.

Climax is the moment when the major conflict in the story takes place. In the passage, the climax happens when the park ranger finally finds out there is indeed fire that needs to be put out.

Falling action takes place after the climax, when the pace of the story slows down and everything works out. In the passage, it happens when the firefighters successfully put out the fire.
