Sample Book Insights:

#1 A firehouse is highly hierarchical. The captain is the head of the house, and three lieutenants assist him. The officer in charge of the unit, whether a captain or lieutenant, must account for everyone who is on the fire truck.

#2 Tony was a white cloud, meaning he brought no fires to the firehouse. The guys teased him about it, until one night when they dumped a bucket of water on his head.

#3 I was a white cloud, bringing no fires to the firehouse. The guys teased me about it until one night when they dumped a bucket of water on my head.
