154.295 Appears to have moved to a digital format, I just got the DMR upgrade so I’ll check that, I’m usually close enough to hear, what other frequencies are you hearing?

Try listening on 159.1575. It's a frequency that is licensed to Union Grove Fire & Rescue with a transmitter on County Road 51. As of late last year it seems that most of the north part of Chilton County's fire departments are using this frequency for dispatch and communication with Chilton 911. Narrow band FM, analog.

Chilton FDs
listening to the Audio Feed from Chilton Co. via my Scanner Radio App. It sounds like the County FDs may now have a patch to something possibly AIRS but not sure. The Audio Feed does not tell or show what Freqs or TGs that are being broadcasted.
There may be an AIRS TG with the County FDs on it now on the Chilton AIRS Sites.
The audio is a little muffled but it's for sure a patch.
Anyone close to the Chilton AIRS Sites can confirm if Chilton FDs are now patched or linked to AIRS via a P25 TG.

I checked they are using 40003 and 40004 for fire communication, 40003 seems to be a main dispatch/County Dispatch, 40004 is either Clanton Fire or a fire response channel, I think it is Clanton most likely though, hope that helps

Also, Clanton now has APX 4500s in their trucks, some may still be using analog radios patched to AIRS but it seems most are moving over to using APX radios and being patched back to analog,

Nice find.
I guess Chilton Fire has finally expanded over to AIRS.
Not hearing any Fire Units yet via the audio feed on the TG side so Fire Units & RPS must still be on the VHF side patched over to AIRS.
Dispatch may be on the TG side but it's hard to tell via the feed without Alpha Tagging or a Scanner.
I can't find a good list of all the Fire Dept. Unit IDs anywhere.
Nothing listed in the Chilton Co. Wiki.
I would like to know who I am hearing or what FDs are talking.
I hear Units like Rescue 16, Rescue 51, Rescue 81 but I don't know who or what Depts. those are.
If anyone has a good FD Unit list it would be helpful.
Good info about Clanton FD having APX Radios. They may be getting ready to switch over to AIRS. Hope they have a Patch to/from VHF and keep it up for VHF listeners.
Sorry if I appear to be Hijacking this Thread, Not my intentions. I just thought this would be a good place to discuss Chilton County Fire and I hope I did not get too far off topic.
Thanks to medic9351301 for creating this Thread.

Perhaps what I am hearing on 159.1575 is a patch from AIRS, I don't have ability to decode TG or ID info. I regularly (as recent as tonight) am hearing traffic between "Chilton 911" and multiple fire departments and the occasional RPS unit.

The more rural VFDs probably wont come off their legacy systems until they get enough radios. But yes, there are now patches between the legacy VHF systems and AIRS.
