For the last few days I have noticed that Downieville Fire Dispatch 154.965 is dispatching not only for Downieville but for Sierra City VFD. Database shows Sierra City Fire having a seperate dispatch freq of 154.1075. Have they merged/consolidated duties?

I haven’t dedicate too much time to listening to them, but that Downieville FD repeater is very high powered and strong, even down here in Sacramento. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re dispatching for all or most of the county.
I monitor all the Sierra County frequencies from Sacramento with no problems. However, I don't know the answer to the OP's question.
I'm in Roseville and have all FD frequencies in scan list but only have had luck receiving Downieville 154.965 131.8. I have just noticed that Sierra City fire & Downieville have frequently been on the same channel. Fire units from I believe 7300's (Downieville) and 7900's (Sierra city) leading me to believe that multiple agencies are using the channel. Are you receiving any traffic on 154.1075 131.8, 158.805 123.0, or 154.385, or 154.385 94.8?

I have found a document that is from 2014 that states ambulace services for Sierra City are provided by Downieville Fire.
I pick up Downieville Fire on 154.965 131.8, 46.200 131.8 & 153.875 CSQ.
I had 154.385 show up today but it was very clipped. Not sure if it was even a Sierra County Fire transmission since it's open CSQ
Looks like it's a LE with DCS 662
