LOOKOUT ROLL CALL 2026!!! It's that time once again where we need your help to get an accurate estimate on the number of staffed lookouts in the US...and beyond! Send us a comment or email (FFLA.org@gmail dot com) with the vitals including name of the lookout, agency, state (or Country), paid/volunteer, and full time/part time. These information is a tremendous resource for everyone that values lookouts! (Credit - D. Boyle)

We have seen a MASSIVE amount of blow downs from two huge wind storms this past winter - its going to make accessing the lookouts a little more difficult for us this summer (and beyond).

There is no better time than that spent with friends and family.
Yesterday we got to spend the day with Ray, Dana and Will at Ray's Fire Lookout Museum.
Mike made us an absolutely fantastic dinner/lunch of meatloaf and all the fixings.
Heart & Belly are full!

1. Drown the fire
2. Stir the ashes
3. Feel for heat before you leave
