A Fire Watch Tower is a tall structure used to monitor areas for signs of wildfires. Typically located in remote or forested regions, these towers provide a vantage point for spotting smoke or flames. Fire lookouts, often stationed in these towers, use binoculars and radio communication to report any fire activity to firefighting teams. These towers are usually constructed from wood or metal and can vary in height. Some famous examples include the Lookout Tower in the Cascades and the Fire Tower in the Appalachians. They play a crucial role in early fire detection, helping to prevent the spread of wildfires.
