Description
Original (1935) CCC era lookout, built for the USFS, was taken over by CDF in 1948. The ECW structure was replaced in 1969 by a CDF designed cab, Plan Number 284. The 284 cab was Plesha's early version of the standard 732-GA lookout type. This was the second 732 style to be built. Unfortunately that cab was destroyed by lightning in 1989. The existing cab is based on the 732-GA plan. This is the only "ground cab" in the CDF&FP detection system.
