Geocache Description:

This cache was placed as a tribute to the firefighters who risk their lives to protect our land and property.

I decided to place this cache after the first time I saw the area burned by the Martis fire. I wanted to place the cache during National Fire Prevention Week (The week containing October 9.) With the recent loss of too many firefighters (Sept 11), I wanted to get this cache placed earlier. Although the cache originally contained fire related items, I welcome trades of all types related or not.

The cache is an ammo can,

This cache is intended to be a simple cache. It is hidden in a bush. Access from the Hirchdale exit and no need to drive off of the pavement.

Note about terrain rating: This cached was rated a 1 when originally placed. Although a wheelchair cannot make it completely to the cache. If you can walk up one flight of stairs you will have no problem with this cache.
