Comments: Everybody knows there is no such thing as a 19-alarm fire. Why, that would mean babies, lifeguards, bartenders, everyone would have to show up to fight it! However, this recipe from the Chicago Fire Department might actually require 19 alarms.

If you dont know what a No. 10 can is, figure on just under a gallon.
