Re: [californiadisasters] Acom System Chosen for L.A. Co's New Metro Fire Comm Center

Heh, heh. It took LAFD 30 years to get over the exposure "Emergency!" gave
to the County FD (for those 30 years or more they had on the apparatus, "Los
Angeles /City/ Fire Department").

So now the press is confusing the two again. (Gonna be a little hard to get
along with the client if you're gonna call them by the wrong name!)
