It depends upon where the fire is, among other things. If the fire is in the woods, you would try to contact the local fire department or forestry officials.
If the fire is in a commercial building, there may be fire alarm pull stations near the exit doors and one of those should be activated as soon as possible.
If the fire is in a dwelling, there may be smoke alarms (23 percent of which don't work due to dead or missing batteries), and additional alarms can be raised by shouting "fire", blowing a whistle, banging on walls and doors, ringing the doorbell and banging on anything else that will make noise. This may be an ineffective alarm for anyone who is deaf.
Many buildings and homes have alarm systems connected to monitoring systems that will contact the fire department for an emergency.
Some cities install and maintain "fire boxes" located on buildings or on posts in near the streets, where opening a door and pulling a switch sends a signal to the fire department.
Obviously, the way to "raise the alarm" with the fire department varies somewhat by jurisdiction, but many places have a standardized number, such as "9-1-1" to dial for help on a telephone. Other places (such as in Europe) use 999 or 112 for fire. Each country has its own standards, if any.

When you hear a fire alarm, you should calmly and quickly exit the building. Only grab your purse or other belongings if they are right next to you. If they are not located close by, then you should leave them. Never take an elevator when the fire alarms sounds. You should take the stairs instead.
I would get out through the nearest exit when I hear a fire alarm together with anything that I could salvage.
