Geocache Description:

City, 24/7, accessible, dogs on leash, children (on leash?), bring a pencil, no room for bugs or toys.

"Jumbo" is the oldest motorized fire engine in Virginia and one of the only remaining 1911 Robinson Fire Engines. It is housed in a museum located inside the fire station. There are only two of these beauties left. The other is in a museum in Arizona. The Staunton Fire Department started having paid firefighters in 1893. It is the oldest volunteer fire company in the state with 210 years of tradition. Kids love Jumbo. BTW, the museum is not staffed, but you need only ring the bell and someone will proudly let you in to see Jumbo. Hours until about 8 at night.

Thanks to the fire fighters for permission to place this cache--but, remember, they are not all in on it. Some of them may be muggles. The cache is outside and is available 24/7.

Congratulations to E for the FTF!!
