The ancient Roman Crassus did something similar.
"The first Roman fire brigade was created by Marcus Licinius Crassus. He took advantage of the fact that Rome had no firefighters. Crassus creating his own brigade of 500 firefighters who rushed to burning buildings at the first cry for help.

If Crassus could not negotiate a satisfactory price, the firefighters simply let the structure burn to the ground." - History of Firefighting
