Fire Lookouts: Where There's Smoke

Forest fires threaten not only to devastate large tracts of valuable timber, but sometimes are a threat to the lives of the people on lonely peaks whose job it is to detect and report those fires. This volume contains original accounts of and by the men and women (and sometimes children) who experienced spotting and reporting, fighting, and sometimes fleeing from, forest fires. The historical information in these volumes is the culmination of many years of research of original documents by Ron Kemnow for his website, ronkemnow.weebly.com. Also included are many historical photos. This book is not in narrative form, but is a collection of official reports, letters, and news articles, presented as they were originally written.
