Brig Malessa has spent four seasons working as a fire lookout stationed off the grid in remote areas.
I've had a lifetime of experience being outdoors and living remote, and all of that led right into my work as a fire lookout very easily.
Then I go for my binoculars and start watching it until I'm sure it's smoke.
The main tools of the fire lookout job are a radio and the Osborne Fire Finder.
