Geocache Description:

Paducah Fire Department


The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates. You will need to do a little research about Paduach's Fire Stations online using Google Earth or Google maps, or a personal visit to get the final coordinates.

You will be searching for a micro-container with a log only, so BYOP.



Good Luck and Remember...Don't Play With Fire!!!
