I've had a look at the vehicle on Derek's site. None on there have any uhf that I can see. Perhaps grab a couple snaps next time you see them.

I can't say I've noticed the aerials you mention. But I have noticed some appliances with the RFI attempt at a ground independent ESA Band aerial (We tried them on Police Bikes like 20 years back).

https://www.rfiwireless.com.au/mobile-products/vhf-mobile/vhf-ground-independent-mopole-70-77-mhz-threaded-stud.html#.Xaq36GbRWUk It used to have a spring mounting option.

Stick to the basic quarter wave if you can.

Definitely UHF antennas - they appear to be RFI elevated feed colinear with spring traps

Main reason for asking was to save me having to put another radio into my car just for local Fire

Late response. I'm not aware of any IGC channels being fitted onto 'fleet' vehicles*.  UHF is used for LMR in the Auckland area, not sure how far down into BOP it goes, possible the vehicles you're seeing roam into the Auckland (UHF) areas, but the rest are still ESA/75Mhz.  Possible they're running shorter antennas.

* Auckland Operational Support vehicles are fitted with their IGC-equivalent radios in addition to the UHF LMR.

I am noticing more and more these days fire service utes either running
around with both VHF and UHF antennas or just a UHF antenna only (BoP
region)

Curious if the utes with UHF only still have full contact with Fire
Comms or are they just set up for local fire ground radio support?

Does Tauranga have a UHF channel now that is linked to the VHF fire comm
channel?

Also is there any UHF linking in the BoP region?

Please don't make me have to go out and purchase a frequency counter and
find myself a friendly ute driver and sit there triggering his mic, lol
