Auglaize County is in fact the area that I have jurisdiction over. 
The county seat, is Wapakoneta which is shown in Red.
Buckland is the village where the Fire Department is located
that I serve at and is shown above in Blue.
The town I grew up in as a boy is near the top of the map,
Cridersville and is shown in green.
Midway between Wapakoneta, Cridersville and Buckland is a small
red dot.  This is the approximate location of where I live.

This is about the only picture I could find of my house.
Actually this is me on my garden tractor, doing some plowing
in my neighbors field.  I do this for fun, actually this is the tractor
that I normally mow my grass with in the summer, and plow snow with
out of my driveway in the winter.  My home is in the background.  You can see three red
wagons parked beside my barn.  To the left of that barn is my front yard area, and house.
