Excerpt from Planning, Constructing, and Operating Forest-Fire Lookout Systems in California
The principles upon Which a forest-fire lookout system should be based to meet such detection needs as occur in northern California were developed in a recent bulletin.1 Proper application of these principles requires technical methods and apparatus Which have since been the subject of special studies. These studies and the detection planning program based upon them involving all the national forests of the California region have resulted in the development of practical methods and special technique - particularly in''the making of Visible area maps and in the use of these maps to build efficient detection systems - that may well have a wider application. This circular not only explains these methods and their technique but discusses also alternative methods that may be helpful to'' those engaged in meeting similar problems under different conditions.
