Watch towers are a major part of forestry operations, and would be a nice addition to the game. I think they should work similar to the coastal stations with a spawn area with a range of 5km-30km. The watch towers should have a maximum of 5 units with the options of forestry engine and wardens. the stations should be priced at 50k for each tower. The US has roughly 5,000 fire watch towers across the country so this could be a useful addition to many players.

I would lower the units down to a max of 3-4 units, it is just a watch tower, but I love the idea.
I am not sure how it would work with having both firefighters and police (wardens) in the same building though. Not sure, maybe a new non-cop warden or something new? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -

many places have or are going away from manned watch towers.

first I've heard of it, but they will never go away doesn't matter if technology advances they will still always be useful and needed, even unmanned watch towers can still be used in game as a watch tower, just don't put any units at it if that is what you would like.

i like the concept in general - my change would be to make it as a warden spim off - but allow wardens to have say a type 4 or 5 engine to their warden truck?? Since the devs have gone and added Hvy. rescues to both PD and EMS

I love this idea, as it's very similar to the lifeguard post, it is just a smaller, specific version of a fire station.
This feature would be great, especially if they let type 6s patrol. -
