A unit makes assault movement INTO (level -1) a gully/stream under a bridge. An enemy unit is in a hex adjacent to the bridge hex but on level 0. There is no other terrain feature. Does the enemy defensive first fire get the -1 for FFMO?

Yes, assuming the enemy unit has a LOS INTO the Depression and no Hindrances, etc. apply.

B20.3 Barring other terrain in the hex, a stream is considered Open Ground for TEM and Rout purposes, provided a LOS INTO it exists (see bridge; 6.32).
