Geocache Description:

The seventh in the Fireman series. Thanks Big Bear for telling me about this one.

The first forest reserves were established in 1891. In the 19th and 20th century, there was little organized response to wildfires in forests and range lands. Many fires had devastating results, such as the Peshtigo Fire in 1871 which burned more than 3.5 million acres in Wisconsin and Michigan and resulted in 1,500 deaths. Fires were mostly fought with wet burlap bags, axes and water buckets. Firefighting took to the air shortly after World War 1. Smoke-jumpers came on the scene in 1940, and the first practical drops of water and chemicals began in 1956. You'll have to look on the other side of the road to see the fire engine sign, didn't want to block the driveway. Lots of POSION OAK in the area, but not where the cache is hidden.
