oops, just realised i deleted the end.
it should say:
it is illegal to yell fire in a movie theatre but is it illegal to yell movie in a fire station?

Yelling in a fire station is not a good idea in any case.
You would immediately be doused with water from head to toe, fire extinguishers would be thrown at you, and firemen would assault you
and try to rescue whatever is inside you.
But illegal? Try it out and you’ll see!
You are welcome

Yes it is illegal. You are libel for anyone who gets injured as people run out. This is the PRIME EXAMPLE of laws that can "override" the first Amendment as they are necessary for public safety, and honestly surprised you haven't learned that. I'll admit just yelling it(when there is no fire, totally different if there is one) won't likely get you in any trouble IF there is no rush out of the theater. If everyone just stays there and ignores you then at most you will likely just be kicked out of the theater.
