Lookout Stations Planned for West National Forests
The Forest Service will establish lookout stations at strategic points across national forests in the west to transmit fire alerts to officials. The plan aims to speed detection and extinguishment of fires, saving thousands of dollars in timber. Roughly 1,400 field men patrol 195 million acres, but only about a quarter is available, spreading effort over 138000 to 188000 acres per man. Despite constraints, fire losses remain small compared to unprotected lands.
