I can understand requiring a service fee for an emergency service, espeically if not a volunteer service. I can also understand being irritated at those that will not contribute an emergency service fund. At the same time, arriving on the scene only to watch the fire burn in an act of reciprocity is about as low as you can get if your calling in life is to serve those in danger.

Extinguish the fire, then collect the fee. Give them citations, order them into court, but put the fire out.

EDIT: It is not as though any money was saved by not acting. The fire department arrived on the scene, and the department staff would then be paid accordingly. The trucks were used, fuel was burned. This was just spite.
