Enjoy these two videos about fire lookouts.
In the first video you will visit the Pickett Butte Lookout Tower. It is an active fire lookout during fire season in the Umpqua Natonal Forest in the Cascades in Oregon. It is utilized as a fire lookout during the summer from approximately July 15 through October 1 and is available for rent the rest of the time.
