His fire happened right in front of them as he came in to the pits didn't it?
I remember 2 serious car fires in particular, funnily enough at japfest iirc a few years back where both cars caught fire on track (zensport scooby and an rx7 drift car) and both, imo as well as people i was with were dealt with very poorly by the marshalls who despite being nearby made no rush whatsoever to get to the cars, and in both instances the driver of the car ended up running to the side of the track for a fire extinguisher themselves!
I was only commenting in jest and i do realise the marshalls are there as a labour of love rather than as a job as such though
