This limitation on freedom of speech is known as the "clear and present danger" test, established by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Schenck v. United States in 1919. The court ruled that speech that poses a clear and present danger to public safety and order is not protected by the First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Yelling "fire" in a crowded theater when there is no actual fire is considered dangerous and can cause panic and harm to individuals. Therefore, this kind of speech is not protected.
