This manga really can't go without chapters that just wanna make me quit reading.
Right when I started to think it's back on a sensible track, writing like that happens.
Writing character deaths like this just makes me go; "Okay, guess I'm dumb for sympathizing with any character. Might as well not care about any of them then."
Just let all the fire fighters die right away and let the Preacher just take it home. Really doesn't matter at this point.
