Matt probably no one else was either. Political correctness I would suppose. As long as the Department keeps have the correct name put on the doors and hoods, city hall can call them whatever they desire. Besides it was the [color="#FF0000"]FIRE DEPARTMENT OF MEMPHIS[/color], long before any of those folks were born!
