Geocache Description:


Fire Truck Park

Fire Truck Park is a great park containing tennis courts, a baseball practice field, a playground, and a swimming pool. Although the park is located in Southside Place, it's close enough to West University, so we are placing one here as part of our park series. This area contains several muggles, but when the muggles leave, this park is a great place to walk or bike around. 

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Please do not try to swim to find the cache! You have to figure out the puzzle to find the cache. There is a solution checker attached. 

The cache is located at N 29 42.ABC W 95 26.DEF where: 

A: In the book Fahrenheit _____, Guy Montag is a “fireman” who burns books. This novel is set in a dystopia around 2050 (add the last two digits together of the book title)  

B: The Houston Fire Department was founded in 183_____ (subtract four from the digit) 

C: There are around _____ million firefighters in the United States according to nfpa.org (round to the nearest million)

D: A firefighter must have at least _____ hours of training before legally being allowed to enter a burning building according to skysaver.com (use the third digit)

E: There are _____ stations in the Houston Fire Department (use the first digit)

F: Smokey the Bear was “born” on August 9th, 19_____ (add the last two digits of the year he was born together) 

Have fun solving the puzzle and finding the cache!
