It shouldn't be a situation where the firefighters just watch the place burn down but the owners made the decision not to pay. A compromise should be for the owners to pay a very large fee if the fire department has to put out a fire. Even if they have to show up. It should be large enough so people will prefer to pay the fee. Otherwise it's impossible to have a fire department in the first place. And then everyone's home is at risk of burning down. Ultimately the fire department did what they need to do to keep the fire department available for all.
