Dave Celino said 22 to 26 of the fire towers across Massachusetts are being staffed starting this weekend with seasonal workers. He says they're a #1 priority in fire prevention efforts.

The other day Hanson Firefighters received reports from the DCR Kingston Fire Tower for smoke rising from the High St & Holmes St area. Squad 4 & FF2 responded and found a 1/2 acre brush fire. Off Duty FFs were recalled to assist as the fire was moving toward 2 fences and a shed

1. Apparently this is the two-year anniversary of Firewatch, a video game made by the great people from Campo Santo. It sounds dumb but the game honestly changed my life. I kinda want to talk about it, cause it’s pretty important to me at this point.

Highest elevation tower I’ve visited! 4,004’ above sea level.

Through hours of increasingly-convoluted research I was able to conclusively plot multiple previously unknown tower sites on Florida’s southeast coast (Brevard County + SE of Lake Okeechobee + N of the Everglades), would anyone be interested in getting a look at how I did it?

Just returned from a 9 day (careful and as safe as possible) trip to Florida where I found time to visit a lot of towers and oh boy am I feeling Some Type of Way
