I posted back in 2022 looking for some feedback on what VHF highband frequencies were still being utilized by local fire companies. THat old thread is locked due to inactivity.
Right now, in the database, we still have several frequencies listed as crossbands to the old lowband. I would guess some of these now rebroadcast traffic from the trunked system (either Fire A, Fire B, or both). However, I am looking for confirmation of such.

I was in Berks today and monitored 155.310 during several fire calls. I heard no activity on the frequency, so I changed that to deprecated. I was mobile along the 422 and 61 corridors at the time of the fire dispatches and confirmed there was traffic on the TRS.
