Misuse of a safety mechanism, like a fire alarm, danger hotlines or report buttons on a website, to censor speech without regard to the intent of the safety mechanism.
A type of rulebombing.

Fire alarming is a problem, because it:
(a) disrespects actual instances of dangerous events the mechanism is designed to prevent, and
(b) causes people who have to monitor uses of that safety mechanism to show skepticism to future uses of that safety mechanism, since the number of serious instances are diluted.

I posted a video critical of this girl's ideology on YouTube, but now all of her supporters are fire alarming me.

A very annoying thing in schools that is so darn loud and hurts people's ears when it goes off. They make fire alarms so loud and annoying.

When having sex with a girl in her parents house, or anywhere risky, once you are done ejaculating, you yell as loud as you can so everyone can hear awoooooga!!! or FIRE!!! and then exit the area immeadiately
Hey man, I went over to Becca's house during her little brother's birthday party, and I did a perfect fire alarm! They actually called the fire department!!!

When people are evacuated from a building, usually during times of harsh, brutal weather, and are left standing in the blistering cold for a long period of time for no reason.
The fire alarm went off and we had to stand outside in the blizzard for three hours when there was never a fire to begin with

A practical joke involving the rude awakening of a person from a sleep by way of screaming "FIRE!FIRE" You will also need 1 person to situate his ass slightly above the victims face before waking him with the alarm. When the victim sits up to get out of bed, his face and nose will slam into the waiting anus of the guy above him.
A true work of art to behold.
