It was rebuilt only to blow apart twenty-five years later. The New Hampshire Forestry Commission built the first fire tower on Mount Kearsarge North in 1909. Through cooperative efforts, the Forest Service helped staff the tower from 1911 to the 1960's. Mount Kearsarge North supports the last remaining fire tower in the White Mountain National Forest. It was dedicated September 29,1991 into the National Historic Lookout Registry.
Planes now monitor forest lands for fires.
