Not necessarily——this was discussed in Slate a few years ago:
“The precise meaning of an “alarm” varies depending on the fire department. In New York City, dispatchers send out 25 units and 106 firefighters for a two-alarm fire, 33 units and 138 firefighters for three alarms, 39 and 168 for four, and 44 and 198 for five.”
The size of the Trump Tower would demand 3 alarms-—just in case.

That’s a lot of boots on the ground.
High rise, so yes, that makes sense.
