PRIEST LAKE — The historic Little Snowy Top Lookout Tower on the Priest Lake Ranger District was destroyed by fire late afternoon Sept. 3. A member of the public reported the fire to the Northeast Washington Interagency Communications Center. The Coeur d’Alene Interagency Dispatch Center immediately dispatched firefighters to the tower by helicopter. Unfortunately, the structure was completely engulfed in flames and could not be saved. The fire did not escape the immediate area and was completely contained.
