Forest fire lookout towers played a crucial role in protecting Michigan's forests, particularly during the early 20th century when rampant logging left vast areas vulnerable to fire. This episode delves into the history of these towers, which were instrumental in spotting small fires before they could escalate into devastating blazes.
