Straight tips vs. fog nozzles. Just putting this out for debate. My Dept does not have straight tips on any line. The few we have are locked away in compartments.

I got the email, things are crazy here. If you could send the photo of the diff color lines with the job in the background that would be great! Also I am putting together all the photos for the powerpoint programs for fire Engineerings new book. We send photo requests out. You would have your name credited on the side and you would still own any photo you send in. Let me know I will put you on the list.
Thanks for getting back to me.
