Well let's make the scenario more accurate; the arsonist also has a bomb strong enough to blow up the entire neighborhood, and so do your neighbors. The arsonist has stated multiple times that if your neighbors directly involve themself in the arson attack, he will detonate the bomb, and your neighbors would detonate their bombs too because of mutually assured destruction. So to avoid killing everyone in the neighborhood who have nothing to do with this, your neighbors all send you advanced fire-fighting suits, hoses, and supply you with tons of water. They also work to get the arsonist fired from his job so he can't afford as much gasoline to pour on your house, and get a number of people to agree to stop selling him luxury items.

That's more accurate.
