1926: "One lookout station was maintained in the cupola of the Hardin County courthouse at Kountze. This cupola has an elevation of approximately eighty feet and provides a most excellent lookout for the most of the county. The lookout man at this station did not remain constantly in the cupola for observation purposes but also fought fires discovered when no Forest Patrolmen were immediately available."
