'''FCC License - New County Fire Frequency'''<br>
 
03/2011 - The following have been approved per the FCC reports, only thing I find unusual is that there are all these base licenses, but Effingham County is the fire dispatch, and I don't see any license for them.  I don't know if they maybe already have a license, or if this will be a station use only channel.
