Truck 2 serves a pretty large first due area with a delay for the next due engines They'll only pull a line on a structure fire if those engines are very far out but they have the ability if needed. I think the idea is for them to handle the average car, grass and dumpster fires on their own too. T2 is also the first due city unit to Denver International Airport - which only has one structural engine.
Here's a map I made of the DFD, you can see where 2's is placed. The closest Engines are 27 & 29.
