Geocaching the Pacolet #1 "Fire Brigade" Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

GeoPacolet: This notification officially brings an end to the "Geocaching The Pacolet" Geocoin trail.

Thank you VERY much for letting us share this area, and for visiting the town of Pacolet.
This was a product of a partnership between the USCGA and the support of a very personable Mayor Elaine Harris, for without whom none of this would have been possible. Sadly, she passed away, but not before she saw this project bloom. For those of you who received her personal notes and letters, we are sure that you will agree that she loved what geocaching and geocachers brought to the community.

Some caches are destined to be archived, but most of these will remain as stand-alone geocaches for others to continue to find.

Geocoins are no longer available at the Pacolet Town Hall, nor the Pacolet branch of the library. For those of you who may still be working on the trail, please contact us at the above profile page, as we have very, very few geocoins left.

Geocache Description:


This cache is hidden near the Pacolet Fire dept.

It began as the Pacolet Station Volunteer Fire Department around 1955. During this time, many fires were not reported over the telephone but by people that actually came to where the siren was located and pulled the alarm. They would tell the first volunteers to get to the firetruck where the fire was located.

In the early 1960's the Pacolet Mills Rescue Squad was formed, in association with the Fire Department, to provide ambulance and other EMS services to the community. In the late 1990's, both the fire department and rescue squad were combined into the Pacolet Fire District that exists today
