re: Number of alarms does not equal number of fire stations called out

Do a six alarm fire has 11 pumpers and roughly 7+ units. So probably about six fire houses?

Yes I think in that case it is roughly equal to the number of houses. But it doesn't always work out that way. I always thought that it was simply each alarm equals one full firehouse.
But then again it could be less than six houses if some had three pumpers

Not every house has multiple pumpers. Most only house one pumper and a medic unit or sprint truck and maybe a rescue truck. It all depends on the department size and what their particular district calls for. Each department is different.
