Not to mention you can clearly see him using a fire based attack vs White in the flashback when he was telling Ichigo of how he and Masaki met. He licks his blood, blows on Engetsu, and a massive blade of fire launches at White. So I don't know what you think his Zanpakuto does but you should try re-reading the chapters where he fights White for starters.

As we all stated, the release command proves nothing. Also, its technique, in its introduction even, was clearly shown to be a regular Getsuga Tensho, not a fire technique.
