Answer 1

Those firemen and pulis have probably already picked over your stuff to get what they want.  By the time you get back in there maybe nothing left.  

Answer 2

   Look into your lease contract - see if there is a provision that says that the lessor will compensate you for damaged inventory  due to a fire that did not originate from your leased unit.

   Have a nice day !
