The Cima Park Fire Guard Station near Douglas, Arizona was built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993[1] for its architecture, which is "vernacular, log" architecture. It was designed by the USDA Forest Service and served as institutional housing. The listing included four contributing buildings (a cabin, a toolshed, an outhouse, and a barn) on a 2-acre (0.81 ha) area.[2]

It is located on Greenhouse Trail in the Chiricahua Mountains. The station was built to serve as a headquarters camp for fire crews who could be dispatched to fight fires based upon telephone reports from fire lookouts. The telephone operator also was the cook.[2]
