I'm having trouble understanding why it should. The main thing that is difficult for me to accept is that the fire department was there, within rock-throwing distance of a fire, and did nothing except make sure the neighbors who were covered were protected.
Because by omitting the specifics, you're coloring your interpretation of the event. There were no injuries. Nobody's life was threatened. The structure itself was likely of marginal financial value --- it was a mobile home on unincorporated land. There's "fire", and then there's "fire".
