From Dave Bula -

Its use was down to that of during extreme fire danger only by 1969. It was still standing as of 1972, but there were plans to remove it within a year or two. For the decade of 1960-1969, Badger was credited with first detections on just 17 lightning and 4 man-caused fires. By comparison, Devil's Head was credited with 107 lightning and 20 man-caused for the same period and aircraft was credited with 26 lightning and 5 man-caused detections. The other 513 fires of that decade were first detected by "other" means.
