    The number of alarms is (I think) how many different departments, or possibly fire engines, are needed to fight the fire. So yes pretty much. It’s often how they are described in news articles.

        Hey thanks, I’m in the 10,000 today. Unit count does make sense. I wasn’t aware of the terminology for firefighting teams/groups/trucks.
