What is False alarm?
A '''false alarm''' is an alert that is caused in error. False alarms can happen because of a problem with a technical system (like a faulty [[fire alarm]]), or they occur because someone alerted the emergency services in error. Many countries have laws that make causing a no alarm with lousy intent (such as making [[: wiki: hoax|hoax]] calls to the [[Police]] or [[Fire department]]) [[: wiki: illegal|illegal]]. If there is no bad intent, there is also no punishment. {{stub}} [[Category:Safety]]
