This company handled this entirely wrong.

The correct thing would have been to publicly commend what he did and then privately council him on the policy and call it square.

Unless this employee had a history of violating company policy, why fire him? You not only lose a potentially good employee but also garner bad publicity.

This company turned this from a win-win to a lose-lose.
