Narrative:

I was the first officer on the last leg of a 1-DAY out-and-back. On a visual approach at 1500 ft; the EICAS alerted us to a trailing edge flap asymmetry along with the warning light. We executed a go around and got vectors back for a flaps 20 degree landing after completing the checklists. The captain elected to have the fire trucks wait at the end of the runway because we also had an MEL'ed reverser inoperative. The landing was normal and we taxied to the gate while the fire trucks followed.
