Lots of testing being done the past few days on Strathroy-Caradoc's new fire channel. Frequency is 171.990 and they are currently using a PL of 250.3, but I would maybe expect that will change to 71.9 when it goes into service (same PL the current 153.980 frequency uses).
Once the testing is complete and all the radios are loaded up 153.980 will be used as a dispatch channel, and 171.990 as an operations channel.
