Billoutwest, Thank You for your service. I'm sorry for the confusion. The word "lookout" is sometimes used to refer to the person inside as opposed to the actual structure. That's all that I was trying to say. That's the context. I'm a poor writer, sorry for that!
My wife of 37 plus years has explained the same to me.
She was a lookout.
Never question those providing direction, when they are your better half.
I agree with Snowbrushy.
"Fire lookout" is one of those phrases which has been used in at least a couple of ways; the person doing the firewatching as well as the structure from which the firewatching is done.
Thank you, BillOutWest (and your spouse) for your collective service. Fire lookouts (both the people and their structures) are to be commended, respected, and appreciated.
