Fire Lookout Tower 11 :
Types of Fire Lookout Towers: Wooden Towers: Many fire lookout towers are simply cabs that have been fitted to large railroad water tank towers. These huge wooden towers could extend 30 to 60 feet (9 to 20 m). One of the last wooden fire lookout towers in Southern California was the South Mount Hawkins Fire Lookout located in the Angeles National Forest. A civilian effort is underway to rebuild the tower after its tragic loss during the Curve Fire of September 2002. The typical cab of a wooden tower can be from 10 × 10 ft (3. 0 × 3. 0 m) to 14 × 14 ft (4. 3 × 4. 3 m) Example South Mount Hawkins before the fire
