In the heart of the North York Community, you will find what is left of North York's first Fire Station (Station 1). Its Main Structure is the second building to bear the name Ivan M. Nelson Fire Station. The first was North York Fire Station 1 at 5125 Yonge at Empress Avenue. It is now the site of Empress Walk. The 1942 fire hall is gone, but the hose tower and archway entrance remain. The colonial revival was built in 1942 by Murray Brown on the site of a former municipal building. An additional bay was added in 1952. The station was torn down in 1989, but the hose tower was preserved and the stone entrance incorporated with the rear exit at the mall.
The Cache can be accessed easily by TCC. Just take the subway north and get off at the North York Center stop. And go out the back entrance of the Empress Walk mall. Validated Parking is available at the Loblaws inside the mall or along Young St. (keep in mind validation can be acquired by the cashiers at Loblaws).
The cache is hidden in a small Tupperware container, consisting of Kinder surprise toys and a log sheet. So bring your own pen or pencil. Also I'd like to keep to the theme of the cache, so trading Kinder surprise toys would be awesome.
This is a high muggle area, so a high level of stealth is required!
Tried to get the coordinates as accurate as possible, lots of bouncing. Should anyone get a solid fix, please let me know.
Happy Hunting! Congrats to Cool_easy_cache FTF!
