What does a 6 alarm fire mean?

There are three engines, and a ladder is added after each alarm. 18 Engine companies, 6 Ladders, 1 Rescue, and at least one Battalion Chief are included in a typical 6th fire alarm. However, we don't have the workforce to fully staff each company with five firefighters.
