		Members will, I am sure, have noticed numerous examples in the press where this occurs: eg "....the Chief Fire Officer of Romsey Fire Brigade..." Such examples, while not particularly worrying, hardly encourage the general public to perceive the Brigade as a County Service.
		Such a change would not, of course, affect the use of "Chief Fire Officer" as the proper description of rank.
		RECOMMENDATION That the title of the "County Fire Officer" be adopted by the Chief Fire Officer of Hampshire Fire Brigade.
