Always wondered why an initial 4-3 response got assigned a 4th Ladder as FAST on the 10-75 but not a 5th engine? Or why not designate 3rd due Ladder as FAST upon the 10-75?
I cannot tell for sure but from what I understand it is because when a 3rd truck (which in most cases is the normally first or 2nd due truck) gets assigned prior to the 10-75, upon the transmission of the 10-75 it's presumed that all the trucks are already engaged in fire duty, therefore another truck will be assigned for FAST duty, no need for a 5th engine unless the IC special calls one.

At times, if one of the 3 assigned trucks doesn't show 10-84, the dispatcher will assign them FAST

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
