Seldom Seed1 came home from school the other day all excited about a cache he had created. It was a nice little cache and I wondered what had gotten him excited and into the cache creating mode. Turns out his class was visited by some local Firefighters and he had gotten a bunch of stickers that he proceeded to place on a container he just happened to have with him.

Cool, I said. Maybe we should make the cache about something Firefighter related? "Yeah, that would be good", he said. So I asked him what was the most memorable thing about seeing the Firefighters was? Of course the response was, "All their cool stuff!" OK, let's take that and run with it. Well it wasn't long before I came up with this cache and he thinks it's way cool. Which is exactly what firefighters need to be when they put themselves into the fire.

Some of the most innovative fire-fighting tools and devices have come from a company in our area.

Here are some amazing facts about those innovations.

A: The Pack Mule was designed to comply with the NFPA Recommendations of xxxA, to reduce firefighter injury by climbing on apparatus.
B: Huskey Foam can be delivered at a rate of Bxx Gallons per Minute at a 3% mix.
C: The TAK-4 Independent Suspension System allows for turning at a Cramp Angle of BC°
D: There are D letters (n•1.5) in the firefighters last name in this clip.
E: The Ladder Gantry has a delivery range of E inches.
F: In the Homeland Security clip, there is a clock pictured inside the Mobile Command Vehicle. That clock reads xx.xF.
G: In the 360° Summary video, there is a control panel displaying Oil Pressure, Battery, Fuel and Temperature, the reading for which is xGx°F
H: This company is 1H0% Committed to Safety.
I: There is a number displayed in the Side Roll Protection clip in various places, this number is Ixxx-xxI.
J: In the CAFS clip, a house number appears for a couple seconds, that house number is xxJx.

I hope you enjoy learning about the "cool stuff" that our Everyday Heros have at hand when they put themselves on the line for property and person.

...and remember, with S|S caches, they may be more than one way to put out a fire!
