Dear Interested Fire Lookout Host:

Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer with the Fire Lookout Host Program. The program started on the San Bernardino National Forest in 1994 with a handful of volunteers and two lookouts. Since then, thanks to the dedication and hard work of our volunteers over the years, we have restored, reopened and now staff seven historical fire lookouts: Strawberry Peak, Keller Peak, Butler Peak, Tahquitz Peak, Red Mountain, Black Mountain and Morton Peak.

How does it all work?

There are four mandatory training classes that must be completed to be a Fire Lookout Host: Orientation (2 hours), Interpretation/Natural History (3 hours) and Operations (7 hours). We have several dates and locations to choose from (see below). After the classroom training, you will also be required to complete 8 1/2 hours of “In-Tower” training in the lookout of your choice. This is your first actual shift in a lookout with an experienced lookout host. A Fire Lookout Host is only required to volunteer a minimum of 8 1/2 hours per month in any lookout they choose. Shifts are either 4 1/2 or 8 1/2 hour increments. It sounds like a lot but it’s easy and fun!

We’re looking forward to meeting you and hope that one of the dates listed for the training will fit in your schedule. Unfortunately, due to the tight training schedule, we are unable to offer any make up classes.


The above information came from the following link, where you can also find the training dates and times: [Click Here]
