I think there are building standards set by the county as to what you can build, where, and what kind of firebreaks are necessary, the level of fire resistance of the roofing material, etc.
So when a house starts burning, I don't really have a problem with firefighters being sent out to try to put it out and save the houses. The house is legally built, and the homeowner should get that service, just like anyone else.
But public funds should NEVER be used to rebuild the house after a fire, or provide any financial aid to the homeowner. That's what insurance is for. And everyone is insured. They are either insured by a third party (i.e. an insurance company), or they are self-insured. Their choice.
