The fire hall is on the south side of Highway 2 (Morgan Street) at 7th Street. Along the street side of this building is a shrub bed with a gravel base. In the gravel, about a foot off the sidewalk, is this benchmark, centered in a square concrete monument. It's between the Visitor Information sign and the door at the northeast corner of the building, flush with the ground.
