Conventional UHF. FDNY is conventional UHF and VHF. There is also an 800 Mhz TRS for EMS administration

NYPD is UHF conventional
FDNY Department radio is conventional VHF
FDNY fireground HT are conventional UHF
FDNY Marshals, operations, and admin are 800 MHZ trunked Motorola Type II
MDT are 800 mhx digital
NYPD has plans for APCO25 on UHF Conventional
FDNY has plans for UHF Conventional for dept radio
FDNY EMS has plans to convert back to UHF conventional
FDNY briefly tested digital HT's for fireground but plan was scrapped after a firefighter was nearly killed.

Last time I was down there, they were on UHF conventional with the exception of the administrative and support staff on the trunk system.

Okay, I thought I was maybe missing something. When I did my two weeks of ride time with NYC EMS back in 1990, they had a mix of radios. Some units had two UHF and one 800 portable, some just had UHF. Everyone that worked on 800 complained about coverage, especially in buildings.
One neat thing was that they could talk to the PD directly on PD channels. Units were able to pick up calls directly from the PD, which reduced response times to hot calls quite a bit.

You were riding before the migration or conversion. In fact you rode before they merged with the FDNY.
Even after the merge it's really weird that EMS has the capability to call PD direct. As a member of the FDNY do not have the capability to call anyone eother EMS or PD directly. In fact even the dispatcher has to call 911 like everyone else.

I rode well before the "merge" with FDNY. I'm not sure what you mean by migration or conversion. If you mean to 800, they were well into it, with some borroughs being on 800, but most still on UHF.

FDNY's supervisor UHF fireground portables have the interop repeater channels programmed in which allows them to talk to PD. Whether or not they actually use them I cannot answer.

Yes, I am aware of that, but those repeaters do not normally have dispatchers on them. EMS supervisor has SOD in the portable, they can call EMS directly when they are looking for a bus. EMS can call SOD dispatcher when PD is needed at a job.
FD Chief doesn't have that capability yet. Though at a working incident a dispatcher could man the freq, and support FD.
BTW FDNY now has a simplex TAC channel in every portable, so we can talk to PD simplex at an incident. The jury still out on it's usefulness.
