Description

Built in 1933, this L-4 groundhouse was removed in the 1960s. It appeared that the site had been used again in July 2001 in conjunction with the Thirty-mile Fire to the west of the site that took the lives of four young firefighters. The road into the site had been newly reworked and the gate was repaired with a new lock.
