Lightning-ignited structure fire burns historic Mount Holmes Fire Lookout in Yellowstone
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK — On July 16, the historic Mount Holmes Fire Lookout burned to the ground after being struck by lightning from a severe thunderstorm in the area. The structure fire also damaged a park radio repeater.
Built in 1931, and renovated in 1998, the Mount Holmes Fire Lookout maintained its historic-era role as one of Yellowstone National Park’s staffed lookout stations until 2007. The building was eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, both for its significance in early park resource protection efforts, and as an outstanding example of the rustic architectural style that typified early park architecture.
