This is probably the first time I have ZERO idea what the comic is supposed to mean... --141.101.96.88 17:02, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Seems to be a reference to the way fire departments measure fire intensity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-alarm_fire 108.162.212.161 17:12, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

The joke being that because its an alarm factory its 50,000 alarms, the amount of physical alarms on site, as opposed to the alarm rating given by the fire commander 162.158.142.70 17:14, 3 February 2017 (UTC) MrMX

Not sure the alarms have to be functioning or "set off" to be relevant, they could just be alarms, in whatever state, that are on fire. 172.68.54.76 17:24, 3 February 2017 (UTC)Fred
