[Scan-DC] 9 alarms

[~Bill]

I've noticed in different regions, the Alarm Levels vary
Boston (Metro Fire) has a 10 Alarm Running Card assignment.

It was atleast 30+ yrs ago they moved from a 5 Alarm plan to the 10 Alarms.
Prior to this it was 5 Alarms then "General Alarm" with special call of
companies as needed.

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...
