Woman fire lookout Helen Dowe atop Devil's Head in Pike Forest
In Denver 1920, Mabel Abbott profiles Helen Dowe the sole woman fire lookout across six states. She monitors fires from a 9,348 foot peak station, climbs a perilous ladder to reach a glass-walled cabin, and reports smoke by telephoning rangers. She cooks, chops wood, maintains water and gear, and has kept fires under control with 16 detections last year and six so far this summer.
