That's just silly. Victims of fires can't always remove themselves from these situations, nor are they responsible for the fire most of the time. Criminals wilfully commit crimes and deserve to face the consequences of their actions.
these same narratives come up in hurricanes as well. and i always thought the same for years, "anyone there is an idiot, just get out". then my parents got caught in one. storms or fires change course, intensify or decrease in strength, etc. may parents weren't supposed to be in the path then by the time it changed course they couldnt even get enough gas in their car to get to safety so they hunkered down and were ok thank goodness. same goes for this fire, some people are either unable to get out physically or weren't in danger unless it was too late.
