Help me pick the cover for my next book. One of them is my favorite. My publisher likes the other. I need your help to pick the winner!

@Burns227 Lt knows his stuff 👍🏻

Great stuff here from Columbus, OH, FD Lt. Steve Robertson on saving time once the air brake on the Engine is set by being better than good at what we do, so we can get the line through the door in 1 minute. I clipped this from a post by Black Sheep Fire Training on Facebook.

@TheRovingSkip Asked the date of a hypoglycemic once. He thought for a moment, pushed a couple buttons on his Timex and told me. I gave it to him. If you can remember how to access the info then something is computing properly 🤣

@KTFBurnsDC @JimGolondzinier Agreed!

@JimGolondzinier Good people gave it to me along with a gift of friendship that I will never forget

@GregRedmondstl @Kiel_Samsing Which query in particular @GregRedmondstl ? Just finished the book and working on his briefings/papers now.
