    Reminds me of Marcus Licinius Crassus:

    Marcus Licinius Crassus was an opportunist who took advantage of the fact that during this period no one dealt in fire insurance in Rome, so Crassus organised his band of slave fire-fighters in a rather special way. His complement of 500 men were mostly architects and builders. On the receipt of a call of fire his men would rush out with Crassus leading the way, but on reaching the fire ravaged house would stop and refuse to work. Crassus would then negotiate with the owners as to the value of the house and would make a low offer for its purchase. The owner would often refuse, pleading with the men to extinguish the fire. The first offer refused, the brigade would then stand at the other side of the road while Crassus attempted to buy the houses on either side of the affected property. The fire by now having got a firm hold Crassus would approach the owner of the blazing house with a lower offer and if this was refused he and his men would let it burn a little more until finally the deal was completed. Once a price was agreed the men would quickly move into the affected building and would put out the fire, leaving a contingent behind to repair the damage and to put the house back on the open market again.
