there are levels of alarms 1 2 and 3 alarms.....

the higher the number the more fire fighters they need on the scene ... 3 is the largest ... last 3 alarm blast I've heard of was a old wooden floored factory that went up down town...

as for this plant it said they made lubicants... does Si veloz work on something like that in a greese shop????
