Well, anyone who shows up with fire equipment and watches someones house burn down needs to find a new job. Total dirtbags.

Who paid for the fire equipment??

If they want to tack on an exorbitant fee for non-payment and resulting need for services, fine. Watching someones house burn down when you have the men and equipment to save it is unconsciouable.
