Let's see ... LAFD is on conventional 800 MHz. LA County is on UHF and VHF (for tactical and fire ops). A lot of the surrounding communities are on VHF or on a UHF trunked system. The forest is on VHF. Statewide fire ops (CALFIRE) are on VHF. That makes for a lot of radios for interop purposes

Is there a difference between engineer and apparatus operator?
Los Angeles Fire Dept - Monrovia1 - 09-06-2017
Engineer operates and drives the Engine Co, While an A/O operates and drives the Ladder truck.

It's a bad picture, I think there is a system where you use one mic and select which radio head you are utilizing
