MAINE -- A historic structure now has a new home, thanks to members of the Maine Forest Service and Maine Army National Guard who moved a fire watchtower recently from the North Maine Woods to the Ashland Logging Museum. Kent Nelson, fire prevention specialist with the MFS, said the structure served its purpose but has since been replaced by more modern methods to detect fires. “We now use air detection flights, using our own planes, with assistance from Civil Air Patrol, as well as contracting with other pilots,” he said.
