Question:

what does '5 alarm fire' mean?

and also 3 alarm, etc; i'm assuming it's the higher the more serious? like a richter scale for earthquakes; but how does it break down and how high does it go?

Answer:

most chemical fires do not require atmospheric oxygen to burn, and some become worse when water makes contact with them. therefore water and CO2 extinguishers would be useless. try powder type extinguishers.
my senior prank was really cool, but im in college now. I remember Bobby Pins tho, he was my best friend.
So feed the power and use ceiling fan wire (14/4) using an AFCI breaker in the electrical panel, you need the 4th wire for the common bus trip wire that makes them all squawk simultaneously because you are relying on the strobe. Not connecting the common bus wire will only give you local detector squawk and strobe, and the interconnect wire synchronizes the strobe units so they are safe for epileptic seizure patients. Those units mount best on a double gang box or mud ring and should be mounted at 80 inches to meet fire code.
I'm 61 so to you I'm a senior, when I grew up girls had rollers and this was in the fifties but I don't know when they started. They also used bobby pins and briefly there was a TV product called spoolies. You would wrap some hair around this piece of rubber and then fold the edges over the curl and I guess it would set and later you'd have curls. My mother told me that a lady would never go out with her hair in curlers even with a scarf over them. Of course going out in a car or a convertible would dry ones hair nicely but my mother would be so disgusted if she saw it. Bobby pins were handy to fix things and pick locks? we'd pull off the little plastic tips and I suppose they're still the same. my folks are 89 and 93 and I consider THEM seniors!
