I read a theory that there's only one radio in the truck that needs to be switched between frequencies.

Presumably the truck driver got clearance from the tower then immediately switched away to the frequency that the firefighters use to coordinate.

Not a chance any airport is letting firetrucks drive around in the movement area without comms to tower/ground.
