An example of irony is a fire station burning down. This situation is ironic because one would expect a fire station, a place dedicated to preventing and responding to fires, to be the least likely location to catch fire. The contrast between the expected safety of the fire station and the actual occurrence of a fire creates a humorous or poignant twist.
