Initial rundown for this Box could be:

Box 8794 Assignment:

Engine 21, Engine 65, Engine 8
Ladder 2, Ladder 4
Battalion 8

The units that efd274 included I'm assuming are the All-Hands Units.

Quick question though, wouldn't 54's beat 34's in at the 4th Engine, and wouldn't 24's beat 21's as the F.A.S.T. Truck?
