What πŸš’ means

Most of the time πŸš’ is literal. People send it when they hear sirens, see a fire, talk about a firefighter in the family, or share a kid's toy truck. The best-known secondary use is playful praise: paired with πŸ”₯, it says a photo, outfit or song is so hot someone should call the fire department. This tone is light and complimentary, not serious. It is a little stronger and sillier than πŸ”₯ alone because it adds a joke on top of the praise. In serious news about a real fire, it reads as plain information, so read the rest of the message to see which meaning is meant.
