Anyone know why Engine 2 was first in? Normally, I believe, Engine 1 would be first due as Engine 6's firehouse is closed due to repairs.

Rundown of EFD units could be:

Box Assignment:

Engine 2, Engine 1, Engine 7
Ladder 3, Ladder 1
Rescue 1
Car 42(DC), Car 43(Battalion Chief)

Signal 11(Working Fire) Assignment:

Engine 6(F.A.S.T.)

2nd Alarm Assignment:

Engine 3, Engine 8
Ladder 2

3rd Alarm Assignment:

Engine 5
