Oh. I’m not sure. That’s the least they could’ve done though, considering someone posted a video of them saving the electronics and ruined their reputation. Made worse because they were loyal AA immigrant employees in a community that was growing unfonder of the immigration and the perception of what they were doing caused things to skyrocket.
The idea of anyone helping was a business liability concern, but the insistent bystanders wanted to balance that out with anything they thought they “could” do. Both the firestation and the police (because they had nothing else to do in their tiny area) were called but took a while because Winter was in its cusp at the time.
Ironically it was the fact the police understood the bystanders’ intentions that made citizens (who thought it was a burglary) accuse everyone in charge of being overly sympathetic to what they thought was immigration-spawned crime. Police even made a public statement about the bystanders’ intentions, but the citizens didn’t believe the police on that.

Was there a reason they didn’t try to put out the fire or call the firestation? Triple-O or whatever is never far away.
