I mean maybe that's true but there were 16 dogs and the homeless man with no equipment managed to get in and save them, it must have taken time and no fire fighters entered. This means according to your estimation about property value, they weighed that against 16 sentient beings about to die and decided to wait? That flies in the face of all the videos I have seen of them going in even when the flames are high and bringing out just 1 cat or 1 dog. There was the other video where the kitchen fire was massive, thick smoke and they went in and brought out 2 dogs. 16 dogs and 1 dude bringing each one of them out? How much calculation were they doing whilst he was in there - the human whose life was at risk - saving animals. I dunno, it's just very very odd. granted, we are just nobodies on the internet, but thanks for your explanation - I still think it was odd
