Why didn't Rescue 1 and 5 Engine go to this??. What group was working

Not sure, I wondered the same thing. E3 special called T3 to assist in getting the man out of the river. That being a strange border land between 3Co & 5Co makes it seem all the stranger, as they were like just as close as well as being the designated water rescue company.
