To the Editor:
TheBass River fire tower appeal was filed with the intent to stop the unnecessary clear cutting on what hikers call the “Enchanted Forest” trail. The appeal must also bring to the attention of the governor the need for improved fire safety throughout the state. It is a call to action on behalf of our firefighters.
The 21 lookout towers in New Jersey are well past their years of intended use. The service life for the Bass River tower is 70 years.
