Dave Hilton Web Site Update - 12/17/2009 Dave Hilton, FFLA Maine Historian and author of FROM YORK TO THE ALLAGASH, Forest Fire Lookouts of Maine, previously maintained a Fire Lookout website on Geocities. After Dave died suddenly in 2003, this website became inactive and unmanaged. In October 2009, Yahoo assumed control of all Geocities websites and elimated all free website space. The site then went off the air. Since that time, FFLA has secured permission from the Hilton family to host and use the material on that website. The Maine Fire Tower portion of Dave's website can be found at this link - From York to the Allagash-Forest Fire Lookouts of Maine
