History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 115310-02 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of Fire Lookout Stations dates back to the early 1900s when the US Forest Service began to establish these stations to detect and report forest fires. The first lookout tower was built in 1905 in the Bitterroot National Forest in Montana. The use of lookout stations became widespread in the 1930s and 1940s, and by the 1950s, there were over 5,000 lookout towers in the United States. The development of aircraft and other advanced technologies in the 1960s and 1970s led to a decline in the use of lookout stations. However, the stations remain an important tool in detecting and monitoring forest fires, and many of the historic towers have been preserved as cultural landmarks. In recent years, the use of Fire Lookout Stations has evolved to include not only fire detection but also monitoring of air quality, wildlife, and weather conditions. The stations have also become popular tourist attractions, with many offering guided tours and educational programs. The use of technology has also advanced, with many stations now equipped with webcams and other remote monitoring devices. Despite the decline in the number of active lookout stations, the industry remains an important part of the US Forest Service's mission to protect and manage the nation's forests.
