Not quite the same, but the fire alarm went off when I was getting a cavity filled at the dentist and they didn’t want to stop the work on my tooth so they just kept going. I don’t remember the exact reason they gave me, I think it had something to do with finishing before the local anaesthetic wore off.

Luckily it was a false alarm and the fire department turned off the alarm after ~5 minutes.
