I turned off the fire in front of the restaurant... "You owe me for the fire extinguisher" - unreasonable demand

Mr. A, who called the fire station, said he extinguished the fire in front of the shopping mall. Mr. A explained that trash had accumulated around the utility pole, and someone had thrown a cigarette butt there, causing the fire. Upon discovering this, Mr. A used the fire extinguisher located on the first floor of the building to put out the fire. Thanks to this, the flames were contained before the fire truck arrived.

However, the owner of the restaurant inside the building demanded that Mr. A pay for the fire extinguisher. Mr. Baek, who shared this story, said, "The restaurant owner asked Mr. A to pay for the fire extinguisher," and "He asked if he really had to pay or where he could buy a fire extinguisher." Mr. Baek also added, "He said this was the first time he's encountered such a situation and that he found information about it online."

Additionally, Mr. Baek expressed a bitter feeling towards the restaurant owner. He said, "It was a situation where the wind could blow the fire onto the commercial building, but the restaurant owner seemed disappointed that the fire extinguisher, which had served its purpose, couldn't be used." He added, "What was returned to the person who offered goodwill was not a thank-you but a receipt." He further stated, "Mr. A said, 'I should never intervene again,'" and added, "The world has lost another good person."

Netizens responded with comments such as, "I saved someone who was drowning and this is what I get—being asked to give up my belongings," "How much does a fire extinguisher cost that they had to ask the person who put out the fire for reimbursement," "Even if I try to repay, it's not enough. Someone who doesn't understand gratitude like an animal wouldn't properly serve food. That's why business isn't going well, there's no peace of mind, and they become obsessed with small change, creating a vicious cycle," and "Even when serving food, it's not enough, and now they want a receipt—I'm at a loss for words."
