Over the past few years, I have gradually been trying to bring the database up to date for Montgomery/Auburn and surrounding areas. Initially I was mostly focused on trunked systems, but I have been turning my attention more so to conventional frequencies as of late. In the process, I have come across a few discrepancies and questions with regards to Bullock and Crenshaw County Fire in particular. One such question (the difference between Fire Dispatch and Rural Fire Dispatch channels) was answered in a recent thread, but a few more remain.
If anyone knows the answers to the following, please let me know. Otherwise, I might take a trip down that way to verify things for myself. I am on the far fringe in terms of reception from these counties, so my monitoring is spotty at best.

- Does Bullock County VFD still use UHF? I hear Union Springs and Fitzpatrick VFD on MMCCD from time to time, but I am not sure if all departments have switched over. If yes, is 453.250 and 453.550 in use, or just one or the other?
- 453.550 DPL 664 is listed in the DB as Bullock Rural Fire Dispatch with no license. However, monitoring reveals that this frequency and DPL combo carries traffic from Crenshaw County. I have not heard anything from Bullock County on that frequency yet, but I could be out of range. Is this DB entry in error? 453.550 is also listed as Crenshaw County Fire Dispatch, but with DPL 506 rather than 664.
- 453.350 DPL 664 is listed as Crenshaw Rural Fire, but the referenced license does not include 453.350. In fact, 453.350 is not licensed in Crenshaw County at all. Is this frequency correct, or is this DB entry in error?
