Image of the front cover of a spiral-bound document. The title is rendered in black. The cover is illustrated with several figures, a motorcycle and the front half of a fire engine. Four if the figure (two adult and two children) occupy the center of the illustration; the figural grouping reads as a family portrait. To the right of the central group, a figure dressed in police attire stands astride a motorcycle. This figure is facing two smaller figures. To the left of the central group, the front half of a fire engine is visible. The notched and frayed left edge of the cover suggests that it was torn away from its spiral binder.
