Miami's weather station is used for monitoring the fire weather daily at 1:30pm during fire season. In 2005 the new RAWS weather station was installed at the tower.

This site is dedicated to my very best friend Josiah Knowles, Jr. (Joe Knowles) for his many years of work and support for the volunteer fire lookout program in the Sierra National Forest. Joe passed away on the evening of October 26, 2006 while on duty and closing up the tower for the evening and on June 27, 2009, the Sierra National Forest dedicated the tower in his memory and name. |
