The Warren County Fire Tower is a well-preserved structure that retains historic integrity. Inside the cab of the tower still contains the original alidade, a surveying and mapping instrument for locating fires, and with the exception of the replacement wall and ceiling paneling, appears as it did when the tower was built in 1932. The tower was operated until 1993 when it became an educational resource for the Bessie Haithcock Forestry Headquarters. The Warren County Fire Tower is locally significant as the only fire tower in Warren County. In a county without any rural fire departments until 1956, the tower was especially important in the detection and suppression of forest fires. During the twentieth century, the lumber and pulpwood industry was a major component of the county's economy, and the fire tower helped to protect those economic interests. The tower is representative of the statewide program to erect fire towers to combat forest fires that developed during the 1920s. The Warren County Fire Tower is eligible for the National Register under Criterion A in the role of local conservation efforts with a period of significance of 1932 to 1950. - NRHP, 10 January 2000
