Most factories I've worked in have pretty big diesel generators to run fire pumps, emergency lighting, and safety related controls. Of course, if these aren't tested regularly, they may not actually work in a real emergency. Places where the power gets knocked out regularly (like here in FL during hurricane season) there are folks that have gas powered generators in their homes. It's always weird to see lights on at one house in the block, LOL.
