Welcome to the Colorado/Utah Chapter of the Forest Fire Lookout Association!
The Colorado/Utah chapter of the Forest Fire Lookout Association (FFLA) was created in February 2003 to address the preservation needs of fire lookout towers in Colorado and Utah. Through research, education, increased public awareness, and restoration initiatives, the chapter seeks to preserve these historical monuments for future generations.
