The SAT is normally assigned, why would 207 not take it being so close?
Unless I'm missing something, the satellites do not turn out with their normal company on their own first, second, third, and fourth due boxes, no? In these cases, I believe the backup company becomes the satellite unit. I could be wrong but this was my understanding
For example, in the links below, first or second due fires for E159 in SI, the backup engine, 152, was assigned for the SAT.

It is interesting that for Sat6, primary and secondary are two companies that run in first and second due together. It seems this is not the norm for the other Satellies, where the backup company seems to be typically located just outside the battalion where the primary is located. In FDNY where everything seems to be pretty methodical, I wonder if there is a reason why they chose 210 instead of another engine that wasn't on first alarms with 207.
For example:
I listed to the Audio, Sat1 was put on the box then cancelled once 207 said they were taking the satellite
