There are two sections of the story that lend credence to the fact that Nous firebrand was the last one to be thrown during the Chief's visit.

The third sentence in the third paragraph indicates that they took turns and that Nous turn came last because, after Nous turn, there was no other mention of any other throw. This means that all the other older warriors that thrown their flames before Nou. The third and fourth sentences in paragraph 4 state that everyone was happy except the older fire throwers because Nou had made them look weak and foolish.

This corroborates the evidence from the third paragraph that they had thrown their fires first and Nous fire went last.

Cheers!
