[Scan-DC] 9 alarms

[Doug Kitchener]

apparently a 9-alarm fire in the boston MA area with 2 firefighters killed.

:(

Got me to wondering, what's the biggest fire (most "alarms") that anyone can remember around here?

I think there have been some 5 alarms in Montgomery County, but I couldn't be specific (about anything, # of alarms, or when, or where), and I think there has been a 6 or 7 alarm fire in DC and / or maybe Alexandria...
