If they are like 90% of upstate NY fire departments then they are migrating off low band (46 mhz). but still need 46 mhz to talk to county and neighbor departments.
They most likely simply installed another mobile in all their trucks, and their officers will be carrying another portable. To my knowledge there are no commercial radios capable of transmitting on lowband and VHF high. They may have a dual deck setup, but with low band being used for legacy purposes only I would doubt it. It's really irrelevant because you will be able to monitor them in the same fashion regardless.
There are many departments that insist on using their "own" or "house" frequencies because the regular fireground frequencies are not good enough for them. Personally I think the practice should be banned so you don't have a situation like the charter circle fire in Ossining again. If they have their own frequencies they are usually licensed for them and you can look them up in the FCC database.
