Some dispatchers I have spoken with have told me that if a 10-77 or 10-76 is transmitted initially the computer will send the closer trucks (which may include a truck that would normally be the FAST Truck) in for fire duty.  They will then send a different truck in as FAST Unit.  If the initial transmission is a 10-75 and then upgraded to a 10-76 or 10-77 they will send the 3rd due (normal) FAST truck and then additional trucks from further down the assignment card to fill out the 10-76/77.

Don't know if this was the case on this Box...just thought it was an interesting idiosyncrasy of the system.

That's why I asked since there were no other trucks mentioned in the rundown
