The status 500 Internal Server Error is defined as "The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request". In practice this usually results from the server application crashing, which is often represented with fire, see for example the Halt and Catch Fire instruction.
500 Internal Server Error is also used as a catch-all for many other server-side faults and thus needs an emoji which is generic enough to cover a wide range of errors.

Proposed emoji: :fire: 'FIRE' (U+1F525)
