:If a fire has been burning for a long enough time (due to a Fire Marshal
being too far to reach it in time) then the fire will not be put out
and will just have to burn out on its own. If you right-click on a burning
building under these conditions it should reveal a pop-up message saying:
"Fire marshals could not get here in time to save the building. When
the fires burn themselves out, only rubble will be left on this site."
Also, Fire Marshals have a limited supply of water with which to prevent
and put out fires. At some point they need to return to their Firehouse
to refill, so it may be that the Fire Marshals that are walking by a
burning building simply do not have any water at the moment and are
on their way back for a refill, after which they may or may not be able
to reach a burning building in time.
