To simply sound a false alarm of fire is a misdemeanor. HOWEVER - if something happened as a result of the false alarm being sounded (e.g.: fire truck crashes and kills someone - someone falls and seriously injures themselves getting out of the building - etc) it could end up being a felony offense.
It is usually in the state criminal code, and also in the national fire code. For instance, in NH/USA it is: Title LXII Criminal Code Chapter 644 Breach of the Peace RSA 644:3 False public alarms, Class B felony 3-a: False Fire Alarms, misdemeanor 3-b False fire alarms causing injury Class B felony NFPA 1 (Fire Code, 2009): 10.7.2
They are dangerous because while they are going to a false call, their can be a real serious call and insted of going to the real call they go to the person who called first. So it risks other peoples lives.
On average, fire services in the United States respond to about 2 million false alarms each year. This can account for up to 10-20% of their total call volume.
