Although at least half of the fire towers operated beyond 1972 payroll records for that period do not seem to exist and the likelihood that any of these records might be found are remote. For that reason this is an incomplete accounting of all the Observers, but it is the most comprehensive source available. Dates are provided for the Observers who staffed the fire towers in the Adirondack and Catskill regions beyond 1972 which were obtained from the books by Martin Podskoch; The Catskill Fire Towers; Their History and Lore and The Adirondack Fire Towers; Their History and Lore - Northern and Southern Districts. Yet these records too are incomplete as they are from the recollections of the people interviewed by Mr. Podskoch.

  • September 2020
    Forest Fire Lookout Association New York State Chapter September 2020 Fall is right around the corner, but fall fire season is upon us! Here in NYS the streams are exceptionally low, there is very little if any rain in the forecast and we have wind too. One fairly significant fire broke out this month near New Paltz: The Cragswood Fire occurred in an area with steep and rocky terrain and winds hampered efforts as well. News Article. We have seen overcast skies due to smoke from western fires, but truthfully they have resulted in some incredible sunrises and sunsets here. We are much more fortunate than the western United States where wildfires have been raging for weeks. Many have died, many homes and businesses have been lost and many continue to be on the front lines trying desperately to make some forward progress. NYS has sent some Forest Rangers to assist, but due to Covid-19 guidelines our numbers are lower than the normal response. https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-welcomes-team-new-york-wildland-firefighters- home-rocky-mountains For the first time ever, the National Weather Service actually issued a firenado alert: https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/firenado-national-weather-service-issues-americas-first-ever- warning-for-a-fire-tornado/ The news reports are frightening to watch. Winds have moved these fires at great speeds, putting more people in grave danger than ever and hampering efforts to fight them. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/13/us/Wildfires-Oregon-California-Washington.html Additionally, our FFLA national news has included reports of several lookouts being lost to these fires.

  • The Cariboo and Monashee Ranges of British Columbia: an Alpinist’S Guide
    1 THE CARIBOO AND MONASHEE RANGES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA: AN ALPINIST’S GUIDE by EARLE R. WHIPPLE Even today, British Columbia is still a wilderness of mountains, valleys, glaciers, forest and plateau. The Columbia Mountains (Interior Ranges; which include the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges) lie within British Columbia, west of the Canadian Rockies and the southern Alberta-British Columbia border. This guide describes the access and mountaineering in these two ranges. Aside from parts of the Coast Range and the northern Rockies, the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges are the most isolated in B.C. However, if one listens to the helicopters from the lodges in these ranges, when camped there, one may question this. Large, active glaciers (now in retreat) with spectacular icefalls exist in the mountains of the western part of the Halvorson Group, the northern Wells Gray Group, the Premier Ranges, the Dominion Group and northern Scrip Range; there is climbing on rock, snow and ice, and routes for those climbers wishing easy, relaxing climbing in beautiful scenery. Good rock climbing on gneiss is in the southern Gold Range and Mt. Begbie in the north. There are also locales offering fine hiking on trails or alpine meadows (Halvorson Group, southern Wells Gray Group, southern Scrip Range, and the Shuswap Group), and backpacking traverses have been worked out through the Halvorson and Dominion Groups, the Scrip Range and the Gold Range. Beautiful lake districts exist in the northern Cariboos, and the Monashees. The area covered by this book starts northwest of the town of McBride, on Highway 16, southeast of Prince George, and extends south to near the border with the U.S.A., staying within the great bend of the Fraser River, and then west of Canoe Reach (lake; formerly Canoe River) and just west of the lower Columbia River south of its great bend.

  • Forest Fire Lookout Association New York State Chapter July 2018 With
    Forest Fire Lookout Association New York State Chapter July 2018 With summer fully upon us in New York State it is time to celebrate! First, we celebrate the re-opening of Wakely Mountain Fire Tower. Then we have 4 Centennial Celebrations coming up. Yes, 4 parties! Azure, St. Regis, Mount Arab and Swede Mountain Fire Towers all turn 100 years old and will be celebrating in the next month! Wakely is reopened! In early May of 2017, NYSDEC Forester Jon DeSantis took immediate action when it was discovered that the Wakely Mountain fire tower was literally swinging in the wind. Jon contacted Dave Vana of Davana LLC and his crew went in and made an evaluation and temporarily stabilized the structure. A look at the tower at the time provided by Dave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy-pYNYtW-o&feature=youtu.be From there, a plan was developed that required major logistics. Led by Forester DeSantis, those logistics included such things as reaching out to partners to assist, securing the necessary funding, the actual repairs, equipment needed, how to get manpower and equipment there and more. Efforts to get this project completed in 2017 were thwarted by weather, helicopter breakdowns, scheduling conflicts and became a bit frustrating at times. But it all came together this spring. On June 20th, under blue skies the crews and materials were taken in and work was begun. Let me share a few numbers with you; 6000 pounds of concrete, tools, gear and camp supplies for a week, 100 gallons of water for concrete and washing, and 40 gallons of water for
