Sure you can, but unless there's actually a fire or you truly believe there is a fire, you might be charged with something like 'inducing panic'[0]. It's the same as calling in a false bomb threat.

Which is because of the effects of what you said...

If no one panics, then you generally don't get charged with anything, except possibly trespassing.
