Lookout Towers on the KNP Complex The Milk Ranch area burned in the early days of the KNP Complex. As fire activity in that area has substantially cooled, on October 2, crews were able to access it to perform a preliminary assessment of the damage. While the radio repeater equipment was destroyed by the fire, the steel structure and the lookout room appear to be still structurally sound. A more thorough assessment will be completed when conditions in that area have stabilized further.
