Additionally, Where is the oldest "operating" fire lookout tower in the United States? At one time in California we had 600 operating towers, now we have 200 according to the article I read. Out of the 200 I wonder how many are still in operation durring fire season. I wonder who was the first paid/volunteer fire lookout for the Forest Service? These structures and the men and women who serve have some pretty cool stories and alot of neat history to pass on to all of us. Unfortuneatly, alot of these historic buildings are being vandalized and or being torn down. In the 1930's the conservation movement set up the fire lookout program and I believe that it was the USFS/DNR who got it all started? Anyway, our lookouts on the Eldorado do a great job and it's very impressive to hear them pinpoint fires sometimes within .25 miles or less away.. ]]> General Discussion (All Areas) Driver 54 http://www.wildlandfire.com/hotlist/showthread.php?t=15892 http://www.wildlandfire.com/hotlist/showthread.php?t=15886&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 03:16:00 GMT I am doing a report on the 30 mile fire and one of the things i am stuck on is...
